Armada Back In The Shop

Unc has been using the Armada with BFX for two weeks with very few problems, but the machine has at least two unacceptable issues.
  • Firefox is unstable. It crashes frequently, typically when clicking some random link. I tried installing the Ubuntu build, but that didn't help.
  • Printing isn't working. Unc has an Epson Stylus C60. I added the printer manually (nothing was auto-detected), and at least got the printer to do endless page feeds using the "New Stylus" drivers. But jobs would not cancel from the queue, and it's impossible to remove a printer once one has been added. Overall, the printer utilities seem very beta.
I'm not sure what to do now. I think I need to switch to a different Linux. But which one?
