Are you set on using Debian? Ubuntu is similar, is more focused on
beginners, and is a single CD download. www.ubuntu.com
I like Debian better, but Ubuntu does have its advantages. Particularly
for people new to Linux.
If you definitely want to stick w/ Debian, you don't need to download
all 31 CDs, but I can't tell you which ones you need. I always do a net
install.
