Also, I want to know what version of Debian to download, I saw something about DVD1, DVD2...You can always choose net install so it is minimal. Then you can download everything else. I assume internet is fast in your location.Depends on what you consider to be 'fast'. Is 120K/s fast?
Compared to what?I recall loading the OS from paper tape. We *DID* have a high speed reader after all <GRIN>
More seriously use https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ to select an appropriate vendor. I originally did that because all the connectivity I had was a 56k dial-up line. I'm now have selected a cell network based service with low data cap. For my peculiar personal usage I find it reasonable to pay for the convenience of a complete set of DVD's once per major release (will order Jessie soon ;)
