You'll have to give the references, because I certainly haven't, and in Debian
terms it is nonsense.

That may be your guess, but it is wrong. Squeeze itself does not have
numbers. Debian has numbers, and Squeeze is the code name for Debian 6. As
I said, we are now up to at least Debian 6.0.6, but it is still Debian 6.x.x
and the code name is still Squeeze. The next version of Debian, with a code
name of Wheezy, will be Debian 7 when it is released.

No, you are not. You are using a live CD. By all means use a live CD to test
Debian out, but installation would be better, and apparently more bug free,
if you used an install CD. It was principally this that I meant by
Kubuntu-speak.

Perhaps, but you have just told me above that you are very computer
knowledgeable and have been using Linux for a long time. This list is a
technical list, so it is reasonable to use technical terms, though I don't
think that I did so.

So use a proper install CD.
