Cool, let's do it!  

What do you want it to do?

Pointers:  

First, use a network install.  It's part of the debian installer and it works 
well.

Then, use dselect, which does all the apt-monkey for you.  

/etc/apt/sources.list

has all of your mirror sites.

When you are in select "/" calls a search "+" selects a package for install.

Every now and then, do an "apt-get update" followed by an "apt-get upgrade".  

If you don't get X working first try, let Knoppix or Mepis figure it out and 
copy the XF86Config-4 parts you need.

Sarge (testing) is working well but Woody (stable) is a rock.  What you want 
to run depends on what you need to do.  Have fun!
