That's not exactly the word I would have used, but I tend to agree.

What gives you the impression that you need a specific image to install
KDE? Debian doesn't have different flavours for each desktop environment
like Ubuntu has.

Both Gnome and KDE should be on the first disk. I don't know about wine,
but I bet it's in the first DVD.

Yes, that's been requested numerous times and nobody has done it
already.

Do many Windows converts really start with questions like yours? If you
don't know Linux, how do you know you want KDE, Gnome or anything else?
If you don't know anything, you download the first image (in the worst
case, you download them all), accept default installation parameters and
you get a more or less beautiful Gnome desktop. That's quite a good
start for a desktop system and Debian makes it easy to change the
desktop environment later on.

This is ridiculous. There *is* a whole lot of information. The website's
problem lies in its structure and presentation (and in some parts it's
out-of-date), but it doesn't lack information.
> Can someone give me a hint?
Yes, there is a German language mailing list as well
(debian-user-german). :)
By the way, just out of curiosity: what made you choose Debian instead
of another distribution? Not that I think it's a bad choice (I started
using Linux with Debian potato), but it's not the most obvious choice.
