Unfortunately, Debian is not for beginners. Use Mandrake,
as long as you do not encounter problems! (See the Debian
FAQ for more detail). In my place, there are *many* "Debian
Server" maintainers who are using Mandrake (besides MickeySoft
of cause).

Who cares Asia anyway? Asians should! Thus, I set up
front-end mirrors like http://sapi.vlsm.org and
http://www.id.debian.org
I am aware, links are slow and often broken. Therefore,
just add sufficient back-end mirrors in every city:
http://kambing.vlsm.org
http://kebo.vlsm.org
http://gajah.vlsm.org
