    Download GenieOS. It is pure Debian stable. The only thing different from Debian is that it allows you to install a KDE or Gnome desktop in a hurry. One CD afaik for the most basic stuff and you install the rest later from the net.

    Go for it... the netinstall is quick and painless for the most part.

    It should, if Debian will work on your laptop. But for laptops, I rather recommend Kanotix, which is completely built on laptops for laptops by Kano, the developer. And it is a great pure Debian system you get.

    Actually, you just have to download the first one. Other CDs contain many other packages that can be installed later.
