I don't think Debian defaults to a GUI install, although there is one. Check the F-keys at the boot prompt. Lenny just became stable, the mirrors might be shaky.
debian.org has manuals for instalations per architecture, those are extensive and suffice for newbies to the *nix world, so they'll surely suffice for you. These sites might also be helpful in the future: http://wiki.debian.org/ http://www.debian-administration.org/ http://www.debianadmin.com/ And, of course, this list and your favourite search engine.
