Most of the information you need is in the install manual but... It's best to do a netinstall if you have a fast internet connection and it is worth downloading Knoppix or another 'live' CD which will enable you to access all your hardware information in advance of the install: http://www.knoppix.org/ The information you will need relates primarily to the graphics card and display. When you are ready to install download the sarge netinst.iso CD for i386: http://www.us.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/ Boot from the CD and follow the instructions - mostly you can accept the defaults. You may find these additional notes useful: http://www.clivemenzies.co.uk/selfhelp/desktop.html Finally, if you struggle with the install, you could try ubuntu or kubuntu instead.
