As I say, he can't get Debian going to *his* *satisfaction*. ;-) I didn't say
that his demands/expectations were reasonable!
He says that he can't get Wheezy going either, but so far he has never
actually done exactly what has been suggested. I.e., he sets himself up to
fail. But he likes Ubuntu. So the obvious solution is to use Ubuntu and
stop flogging this poor already dead horse. And since he likes Gnome 2 but
not Unity, Ubuntu with Mate (or Cinnamon).
But that would (potentially) be a solution. I don't think he likes solutions.
