Again, thank you so much for what you are doing. It's not in vane; now I can see where I began to get lost.
It doesn't matter much if it won't work in real life; it was just an example chosen at random (something at hand). The main point was learning how you decide and do the calculations for a common-emitter amp.
I've also been all night trying to find a single formula that would give me Rc, and I was unable to find it. Every single place I looked literally said "you chose Ic" and then calculated Rc accordingly; and it puzzled me how Ic could be just a matter of "choice". Anyway, the closest I got to finding a formula were the ones you posted "Rc = 0.1*RL" and another one in a page that I was unable to find again (I even think it was a thread on this forum), on which I could get Rc through this formula "Ic = (Vcc - Vce) / RL".
In any case, this is as far as I got yesterday with the experiment. It works!... sort of. I'll explain what I did later on (in case anyone is interested). And I'll get right away studying all the calculations and considerations on your post.
