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'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!!"** :-> )
Hmm, I still haven't jumped on the Ubuntu bandwaggon, it's alright, but it's nothing particularly special... I'd much rather have something that I know is going to survive, long term...
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.
I wonder if now is a good time to point out that ubuntu uses the debian installer, and there are *very* few changes to d-i in ubuntu, a bit of preseeding, IIRC, and possibly some extra udebs for some nasty drivers.
