Debian Desktop is File Friendly
This article was inspired by Linspire' file compatibility page. The new Debian Desktop that will be released in Debian Etch is file friendly too.
If you're using Debian 'testing' or 'sid', test the Debian desktop right now, running as root:
aptitude update && aptitude install desktop gnome-desktop
KDE users, please run:
aptitude update && aptitude install desktop kde-desktop.
