Is this too advanced for the new user? [1]https://www.wikihow.com/Install-Debian
It is a guide for someone who has a windows computer that is installing Debian over it. There is also this e-book / handbook [2]https://dflinux.frama.io/thebeginnershandbook/ Sometimes people might find the task of making a bootable USB drive or CD or DVD a bit too dificult. In that case you could also point them at vendors of installation media. [3]Global List of Install Media for Debian https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ [4]A vendor that ships USB drives with the media on it in the USA https://www.linuxcollections.com/products/debian/debian.htm There is Free Software that can run on any platform. A good starting point is to run something like Spacemacs or Emacs, Firefox, Thunderbird, and VLC are all great. I hope that helps you and the BPL patron out. -Marcus On Mon, Jan 27, 2020, at 1:33 PM, Don Saklad wrote: Where online are easy to understand pages about How to install Free Software, an Operating System on a new computer out of the box?
