Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 18733 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.
If you are not going to do dual boot, download and burn the Debian net installer CD. It will install the full version of Debian to your hard drive directly from the Debian Repository. You do not have to tell it what to load. I have loaded Debian several times on computers this way.
