The recommended way to install Debian is to download the "Netinst",
which is 180MB. The webpage says:

Quite off topic here. Debian only provide Debian material ;)
Jounalists, bloggers and Wikipedia could/should help choosing. A
dedicated website may help. You could suggest people at distrowatch.com

Keep in mind that changing a computer isn't always planned. In real
life, people tend to change computer when the old one fails.
Debian provides flexible kernel, XWindow... that can adapt to lots of
different configuration without a change. Usually, you can simply move
the hard disk from the old machine to the new one, and voilà.
This is a feature I wouldn't give up, not even if I know that my
computer could be 10% faster with specifically crafted software.
(Observation/Myth: If you compare two computers, the faster being 10%
faster than the other, it means that that take 1 second on a slow
computer would take 0.9 second on the faster computer... Personally, I
wouldn't notice the difference. See Moore's law[1])

Well, ok. Linus and kernel developers are facing a new challenge. I am
pretty sure they will face and fix it.
For the rest of your email, there are many good ideas. You are welcome
to implement it ;-)
