LX164 install and DC burning questions

[Anthony 'Evil Twin' <mullen@CES.ACES.UIUC.EDU>]

Hi -

I have an LX164 that has RedHat preinstalled on it.  I would like to
install Debian on it.  I have T1 access via the University.  And I also
have access to a CDROM burner.  This machine is more of a learning/fun
tool rather than a 24/7 production machine.

Which distribution should I install from?  Would a CD install be
preferable to a floppy install?  Which kernel is the most stable?  Am I
missing any other questions?

I have installed Debian on a 486 and on a multia a year ago.  But I
hadn't the time to do much with them.  So I am a little familiar with
the install procedure.
