[PLUG] debian 8.x woes... (supplimentary)

little bit of background 

When I installed debian 7.x/8.0 on the same machine long time back it removed 
the graphical login, so we were using it by first logging into text mode and 
then invoking startx.

Seems like recent updates fixed that problem and automagically graphical login 
is presented now.  This is one of the reasons I use Mageia on my Netbook/Lappy 
and not Debian. OR Maybe I lack technical skills to fix debian problems due to 
philosophy or otherwise :-)
 
I honestly feel that unless we ourselves can get small children & kids using 
any particular distribution of  Linux without problem, the success is not 
achieved for that particular distribution.  I am sure there are quite a few 
kids friendly distributions out there, but right now I am talking of Debian. 

On that count Debian is still a lot behind, at least in my books.
