Supposedly it's the home user, but considering the difficulty as
compared to something like Windows (or an easy Linux distrib like Red
Hat or Mandrake) I'd have to say that Debian is for the computer
literate and above home users.
 
> 2. Where is Debian located?  I understand there are over 800 distrubuters nationwide that communicate via e-mail and message boards.  But is there a specific "home" to debian?
If you mean the "main" site it's where you probably signed up for this
list at. www.debian.org

> 3. What is the latest Kernel version?
2.4.17 I do believe. But that's a Linux issue, not a Debian issue per
se. Check out www.kernel.org

Default desktop is Gnome. You can also install KDE. And a LOT of
different window managers.

> 5. What, if any, office suites are included?
I don't think any real office suite is included by default with Gnome.
KDE comes with KOffice. You can always get StarOffice from Sun though,
which is free and works fine on any Java platform.
