After 4 documented failed attempts to install debian at my new desktop computer (sys004), I decide to install ubuntu first. One attempt and succeeded in 1 hour (download, burn, install, run). In all that euphoria, I put the installation CD into my laptop (sys003) and tried to install. Of course. Wrong architecture (a 5 year old laptop won’t run amd64). Downloaded the amd64 release and installed it while at work at night (HDD problems, but no problem with a live CD). Works perfectly and now running two nice ubuntu installations within 14 hours. Debian hates me! 
“Debian hates me” or “Ubuntu loves me”

Ich mag Ubuntu. Aus meiner nicht professionellen Sichtweise scheint es weniger Probleme zu machen.
Tja, irgendwie habe ich immer die falsche Hardware und eine unerwartete Herangehensweise an solche Sachen.
