Doug,
Please try Debian's most recent release, sarge (3.1). The installation
process was completely rewritten (first rewrite in years) and does make
everything easy.
Debian installation used to be (perceived as) hard, but that shouldn't
be true any more.
Ubuntu (and presumably Kubuntu) is using the new Debian installer.
