Yes, that's the debian stable alright.
If you take advices hear one: Forget Debian stable for now, download knoppix
and have fun with it, learn with it. It's a live CD but you can also install
it to hard disk without any pain, it's cool and easy, very good looking
desktop, and it's based on debian. What else you can ask for?
Good Luck
