8.10 is so much better than 8.04 I have a hard time recomending the
LTS for desktops (note I'm sending this from my personal, not work
email address). 9.04 is even better yet (though of course don't use
9.04 yet unless you're really comfortable dealing with problems).

Tom, your reasoning for choosing Debian is valid. I'm sorry you're
having troubles, it's far different than the experience I've had. I
admire your perseverance and tenacity. You'll get it through it. You
can always hop into the irc chat room #cialug on irc.freenode.net.
There's often someone there though sometimes it's slow.
