The best resource for new users IMHO is Bill McCarty's
book which is online at:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/index.html

I could never get beyond the stage of installing the base
system until I printed this book out and followed the
instructions for setting up with apt. And I had a fair
degree of proficiency in installing plenty of other Linuxes,
including Slackware, at that point in time.
