Many people complain that Debian isn't a good intro system for Linux. It's too hard to get it working (so they say). I started with a Debian system (Corel Linux) and while the Corel part was junked fairly quickly, I've never been sorry I chose Debian. So, as people have told you, any currently (or even not so current) available processor should be usable. The tricky bits are the video and modems. You seem to have the video worked out, but modems... So many are Winmodems that it becomes important to check for compatibility first. >> >>My point in the email was: if you can buy it on the market, you should >>be able to run Debian on it.
