I too can recomend Debian via the web. But unlike the writer I would
recomend not getting greedy with packages at install time. The Internet
isn't as quick as a DVD install, you could potentially endup leaving the
install running for longer than it would have taken the iso to download.
So instead take the base system and your prefered main shell, maybe a couple
of little apps to get you started. You then get a quick win that will spur
you on. Then add the rest as and when you want them, adding software is
always easy with apt-get.
