| < < | Debian GNU/Linux is the computer operating system that I use when I get to choose. It's a version of the GNU/Linux operating system that's developed cooperatively by people around the globe. It's very stable, very high-quality, and you can decide for yourself whether you want older, more proven software, or newer software, or bleeding-edge software. Freedom and control.

It's much quicker than downloading an ISO because you only get the files that you need. woody minimal cdrom image - if you don't have access to the 'net during your installation then these images might do the trick: they're very small but can build a minimal system that includes some useful stuff. http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/ | |||||||

There's a repository of Iceweasel backports at http://mozilla.debian.net/ so you can install newer versions of the browser on older versions of Debian. | |||||||
