If you to try, then try Debian (Testing) and if adventurous,
then try Debian (Unstable). You need about two flopies or one CD to
make you PC to install rest of softwares from Internet. Once
installed and configured, you PC may keep all packages uptodate, be
you decide to do that, if you have good Internet connection.

But dont feel so sad as you mentioned in your opening line. Every
problem and failure is an opportunity to learn more and enhance
your skill!

Sub : Typing CTRL characters at shell prompt LOST #402

To type Ctrl characters at the shell prompt, keep the CTRL key
pressed, then press v, followed by the desired character. e.g.
to have ^M, press CTRL and then v and m in sequence, without
releasing the CTRL key. This, one liner would remove ^M from
DOS files: "tr -d '^M' < dosfile > newfile"
