I am in the process of migratng my small home network from Corel (debian-based)
to debian. Corel was a good intro for me, but..........
If you use the official debian cd's, you will be allowed to install over the
present Corel partitions. For the present, I'm using an outside boot manager
to manage the boot on the one dual boot machine. Or you can choose to boot
debian from floppy. (I don't really like doing that.)
just my opinion........
