If you got broadband and you have access to windows click on this
website http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ to install Debian.
(Warning to windows users clicking on install will download the debian.exe file)

what is does is install a small debian.exe file then you chose either
graphical or text-mode when you  reboot the machine you have a
selection which os to choose.
when selecting Debain for first time you have a choice of partition or
fully install Debain (like we all did with other OS's)
then it installs Debian from internet took me 40 minute and you only
have to do than once of course.

see screen shot here http://goodbye-microsoft.com/screenshots/

I have done this and it worked well impressed!!

note there is a ubunto one like this but you will have to google it
