It's a rite of passage for every serious GNU/Linux user and developer.
Sooner or later you get fed up with commercial Linux distros and realize it's time to:

Installing Debian

Of course, installing Debian is a nightmare right? Wrong!! We'll look at the various installers that are available for Debian, look at which branch of Debian meets your needs, how to get an installation CD, and discuss post-install tweaking and back-port servers.

Time permitting, we'll go through the installation process with 2 or 3 different installers and go through the post-install process up to the point where we'll have a fully configured desktop workstation.
