Not, it isn't.  Debian is for experts, or would-be experts, or those who will 
never be experts but like to pretend.

I am so sad that Debian is becoming more and more Ubuntu-ised.  For those who 
want and like Ubuntu, Ubuntu exists.

Yes, we were.  And we either managed, had help (I had a lot AND used Libranet 
(an easier true derivative - used Debian sources, but pinned) or used a 
derivative.  

We neither expect nor demand that Windows be installable by all and sundry, 
from scratch, on an empty machine.
