I highly recommend downloading knoppix. It's a quick way to try out
something that is very close to a Debian system with little fuss. It's a
liveCD, which means that you can just boot the computer with the CD in
the drive, and it will load a fully functional system. You'll be able to
find the iso's linked from www.knoppix.org.
