I've just had an attempt at installing Woody, but fell at, if not the first hurdle, the next one.
I'd strongly advise installing a Ubuntu distro (latest is 5.10 Breezy Badger) if you want to try out Debian.
I've got Knoppix to play with.
I'm a dedicated Debianite and also a total convert to Ubuntu after setting up a dial-up PC for a non PC literate friend a couple of months back (Quote: "Wow this is as good as Windows!!"** :-> )

I'm sure someone on the list has some of the latest Ubuntu Live+Install CD packs (I've got some of the previous 5.04 Hoary Hedgehog packs).
IMO the install is a dream.
Well, I have a seven CD Debian thingy, as well as a few other bits for it - XFree 4.3; KDE 3.1.1; Gnome 2; and other things on DVD - a drive for which which has only recently been added to the box.
