I'd offer another suggestion for getting Debian - install a Knoppix variant. There are a number of flavors, sone Gnome based, some with a slant towards multimedia. All allow trying before writing to the hard disk, all end up with Debian. "Straight" Knoppix installed fine for me, as did MediaLinux. I'm currently checking out Mepis - I don't know if it's Knoppix based off hand, but it also allows booting from CD to trial it before writing it to disk.
