I know I'll be assailed from all sides for daring to suggest this, but if you 
are new to Linux, and not overly experienced with operating systems other 
than, say, Windows, I would suggest looking for something easier to install 
than Debian.  Perhaps Mandrake or Redhat or Lycoris, or an easy-to-install 
version of Debian, like Libranet.

If you can pay for a distro, you might try Xandros.
