he clearly means "is it able to install?" i.e. can Debian 5 be installed on
his laptop, hence the question mark.

Hello Santhosh,

Which version of Red Hat did you install? 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3?
Most of the red hat 5 versions don't have the latest drivers for the newest Laptops, PCs, etc.
If you just bought that Sony Vaio or is a recent model, perhaps it would be easier to install Linux using Ubuntu, which has a more updated driver database and it's based on Debian.
Here you can download Ubuntu:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Nevertheless someone already pointed these URLs where you can download Debian Lenny without a hassle:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/

Direct link, DVD version:
AMD64(if your laptop has more than 3GB of RAM): http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0/amd64/iso-dvd/

i386(if your laptop has less than 3GB of RAM): http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.0/i386/iso-dvd/

There is also a CD version of debian but I personally recommend you to download the DVD version depending your laptop's RAM(which I already explained before) which is easier for a newbie to install. 

Adios.
