I am testing TDE 3.5.14 (nightly builds)   with Wheezy. My new Thinkpad laptop 
install, 64 bitness, is working fine, I do not use it much at the moment. I have 
a i386 virtual box instance that has issues with apps crashing on exit. Not sure 
why the difference in the two installs.

A new computer might require the newer kernel in Wheezy. Check the hardware 
compatibility.

My main workstation is Squeeze, TDE 3.5.13.1,  it is stable and does everything I 
need. There is no compelling reason for me to upgrade, that has not stopped me in 
the past, but I am hoping to resist the temptation once Wheezy is released. I 
have becme a big proponent of long term releases for my business use. 

I also use Apache Open Office instead of Libre office, and TDE in stead of ?.  
This makes for less dependance on Debian, which is unfortunate,  since I like the 
way Debian just works as a system, more work for me.


Hopefully  your new computer will have hardware virtualization support in the cpu. 
Along with more memory you can run multiple instances of whatever systems you 
need.
