http://wiki.debian.org/KDE has details of how to go with Debian + KDE.

You should be able to select KDE as an option during a typical Debian 
install.

Video config is pretty good these days - it's been a while since I had 
to hand-configure anything (unless you have really new or unusual video 
hardware). For user-friendliness ubuntu / kubuntu is probably a slightly 
better choice (although I use both Debian and Ubuntu extensively).
