Shopping for a linux distro

Installation media

Unetbootin

DVD

Installing mint

Installing ubuntu

Debian

Download & verify

Download for your preferred medium from https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/

If you are confused about whether your machine is 32 or 64 bits, in linux do:

$ uname -m

x86_64 means a 64-bit kernel and i686 means a 32-bit kernel.

Verify the md5 or sha256 checksum of the .iso file with:

$ md5sum debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso

or

$ sha256sum debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso

and compare the output with key listed for debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso in respectively http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/MD5SUMS and http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/SHA256SUMS Other checksums are also given.

Basic install

Boot from the USB, CD- or DVD-ROM and in the Isolinux bootloader menu choose install.Choose language (this sets language for both the installation process as well as for the to-be-installed linux):Select location. It doesn't have to be where you actually are. And you can change it later.

Installing a stripped debian (running *only* what you need)

Stealth install

Making your own images
