I remember that some of the processors of AMD are 32-bit. I don't know which version of Debian is supposed to install in such machines. However you can find your processor details in /proc/cpuinfo file. > Also, I checked the link for Debian. It seems that one has to > download upto 5 DVD. Got a doubt, there is one more below the 5th DVD > link, for some update , is that too necessary? This depends on what you are going to do. If you are planning to do a fresh installation or a previous release to Lenny upgrade (for example Etch to Lenny) then you have to download the first 5 DVDs. If you are planning to do an upgrade with in Lenny (for example Lenny R1 to Lenny R4) then you need only the Update DVD. Either way, you have to download either first 5 DVDs or the Update DVD; not both. If you have a 24hrs Internet connection and you don't want to share the DVDs with others then you don't have to download the DVDs at all. You can do a dist-upgrade over the Internet.
