I don’t have a lot of experience in Linux environment but anyway I got the job to install a new webserver at my work. The old server was running on debian already so I decided to take the same linux distribution.

The newest ISO you get from here from here:
www.debian.org

For my installation I just needed the CD1. Because I wanted to try it out first I decided to install debian on VMWare Server.
