Tried to restart and it took over a minute :/ Got to the "The system will reboot now!" and then it just like…hung there…for a minute… and then suddenly moved on.
Gotta admit, the problems I'm having with Ubuntu were very Microsoft-y (platform lockin, inexplicable design decisions getting in my way) but the problems I'm having with Debian are VERY Linux 2003 (can't scroll in X, text too small and I can't change it, hang on reboot, hard drive is named 24 alphanumeric digits and I can't rename it)
