You know, Ed, Ubuntu would probably be a lot more pleasant on your new  
machine. You might try the most recent Ubuntu Long Term Support  
release on it (not Kubuntu, I'd suggest). The LTS releases would give  
you the non-rolling release style you like, and I find Ubuntu offers  
the most "just works" and "non-intrusive" functionality of the distros.
