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.

Bret
