Sorry for the vm acronym, I meant virtual machine, You can try  with
no risk  to install Debian on an virtual machine with virtual box on
windows for a start : https://www.virtualbox.org/ with a vm, you can
try all you want, crash it and restore it, all noob incident with no
matters :)

Debian can be installed with a light boot cd, the latest package will
be retrieve by the debian repository.

You have two cd, net install large which is ~180 mo and the business
card format 20 - 50 mo.

Have a good install :)


 with the squeeze net install cd' means, is it small in size?
