I know I'll be assailed from all sides for daring to suggest this, but if you
are new to Linux, and not overly experienced with operating systems other
than, say, Windows, I would suggest looking for something easier to install
than Debian. Perhaps Mandrake or Redhat or Lycoris, or an easy-to-install
version of Debian, like Libranet.
If you can pay for a distro, you might try Xandros.
