New Win Convert--needs some help :)



Hello all,
	My new system, which I'll describe later in detail to see if there are any
compatibility inconsistencies, is being shipped to me, and my intent it to
put the Debian distribution on it, as I've heard it's probably the best
(though not most user-friendly) distribution. First, however, I'd like to
ask a few questions. I would greatly appreciate any response! :-)

1: How easy is it to install, and where can I find complete installation
instructions?
2: Is KDE available for the Debian distribution? I've seen it, and it looks
like a very smooth transition from a Win32 environment.
3: Is there an included boot manager (gotta have win for my games :-)?
4: Is this (below) hardware supported, or where can I find a list that will
tell me if it is?

Dell Dimension:
Pentium III 500 mhz
TNT2 Vid Card 
	(Can describe in more detail if nessecary. Is Diamond Viper 770D I 
	believe)
Voodoo2 3d accelerator
	(So I can have Glide support)
Soundblaster Live 512V
Altec Lansing ACS-495 Speakers
MS Intellimouse
Okay, I think that's all I'm worried about . . . If I should wonder about
another component tell me please.

Thank you for your time; any help will be appreciated-
-Jeremy
