For an "old" install, it seems reasonably up-to-date.
 

My guess is no: dependency issues; mainly, no 64-bit anything, hardware
or software. But I've been wrong before. ;-)
 

I'm sure that's why. If you check, I'll bet you'll find 64-bit libraries
have been installed. On Fedora, they are in /lib64 and /usr/lib64, but
Debian may be different.

Now, my Debian thinks I have SCSI for my old IDE/ATA drives afterinstalling Kernel 2.6.32-4?

I have to agree it probably won't cause any problems, with most
partitioning tools. Some distributions, such as Mandriva, do
include gui partitioning tools (diskdrake), that do use the info
from the kernel, to decide what parameters to pass to the actual
partitioning tools.

I have not tested using such a tool, with a drive with more than
15 partitions, to see what will happen.

Risking messing up the chain of extended partition tables, is something
I'm very cautious with. I have had the fun of rebuilding partition
tables and chains, when a user managed to mess things up.

apt-get's update and upgrade don't tell me about newer Kernels?

Did you add backports to your sources.list? I think you have to
manually select a backported kernel.

Reinstalling Linux from another distro

Good morning, Steve. Nvidia controllers are, in and of themselves, an
issue. nVidia publishes a funky driver toolkit that installs a little
kernel widget, moves aside your system's "Mesa" libraries that handle
OpenGL, and replaces them with nVidia's own closed source libraries,
in order to enable all those splufty cool nVidia features but avoid
publishing the actual specifications. I personally consider this rude
as heck, and unstable, but you've got the hardware you've got.

Also, while your particular monitor may not be listed in the
configuration tools, it should be possible to look up from your
manufacturer core characteristics to set up a "custom" monitor
configuration. These include:

Vertical. (known as refresh rate typically 60 Hz for an LCD monitor,
more like 50-70 for CRT's.)
Horizontal (known as scan rate, depends a lot on the monitor)
Maximum resolution (depends on physical monitor)

You should be able to manually enter those. If your video card is not
correctly detected, or too limited, it won't be able to use the
highest settings for the monitor, but most nVidia integrated chipsets
should do reasonable 1200x1024, minimum. What driver is listed in /etc/
X11/xorg.conf for the video controller?

Does Debian's OpenOffice packages really require Java? Its Java seemsto conflict with Sun JRE for Mozilla's Web browsers?

well somehow I made it use backports for everything, not just what I
probably needed.

So I got a later sound library that fixes some issues with VLC I think.
Which I needed for something else..

If you don't need the latest you don't HAVE to use ALL the backports.

DNS problems can be isolated by hard coding different DNS values in
/etc/resolv.conf. Just change the first nameserver ip and try another
look up. Values to use for testing:

For some sites, it does not hurt to verify ISP to ISP connections/Latency.
