Pretty sure it wasn't, but what would I do if it were?

Did you download it by torrent or not? If you did, your image shouldn't be corrupt. If you didn't, Verify your MD5, SHA256, or SHA1 hash of the ISO file. This will ensure there was no corruption or lost data while downloading. If it ends up corrupted, attempt to download the torrent in the same directory as the ISO. It should re-download the corrupt segments and overwrite them.

Is debian any good?

Ubuntu is based on Debian, and I think the Raspberry Pi runs on a modified version of Debian for ARM. If you want to try, go straight ahead.

why not Ubuntu?  Ubuntu is one of the best distros out there.

I find if I try to uninstall something, it ends up removing 20 other packages because they all depend on that package. It didn't allow either of my computers to enter S3 (or S1,) and it crashed every hour or two. It's more than likely a personal issue trying to squeeze my Linux installtion onto a 12GB partition, but I'm all for it if anyone wants to try it. My residence stands with Mandriva, CentOS, and other RHEL-based distros. I've had nothing but good experiences and I haven't had to do as much "under-the-hood" debugging than I've had to with Ubuntu.

Using the medic guns is unreliable as long as people have armor because there's like a 25% chance that the player will register the needles as an incoming attack and negate it.

never had that happen when i was using medic guns
then again i've only really played on lan servers so it might have something to do with latencies

it's the file sharing kind of charger.

unlikely
turning it into an ad-hoc network requires you to have a wireless connection
the cable to connect the flash memory to the computer will more than likely not work

i have unlimited everything.

also, phone speed says -65 dBm

that's the signal quality
your speed is most likely 54Mbps to your AP or 2G/3G/4G/whatever to your cellular tower

No one answered my question, how long would it take to load a webpage.

as long as it would take you to load one with any other connection

Tell her to buy F-Secure instead of Norton.

and double the amount of time it takes you to boot your computer
F-Secure makes everything load like balls
