You can install Debian alongside Windows. This is called "dual booting", and you can find plenty of information about it on the web. > 1)Which architecture shall I choose between the many I saw?

If you have a network connection, one disc is enough. It will get the packages you need from the net. If that is what you want to do, you can get debian-31r0a-i386-netinst.iso If you can't do a network installation, you should get debian-31r0a-i386-binary-1.iso. You can get the rest of the binary-n discs if you need packages that aren't on the first one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
