| There might be a smaller basic download where you then download later what programs you want, I don't know. It certainly is easy to use though. What are you after exactly, in a Linux distro? | |||

| I know that Debian, and many other distros, can be installed over the Internet that way. I strongly urge against downloading whole CD images in favor of a network install. I have installed and upgraded Debian several times over a dialup connection, something that would not have been feasible with CD images, and should be easy on any broadband connection.
Why not just "tar -xvzf file"? |

| To start, Ubuntu, but once you get more advanced, Debian all the way. The package management is just insanely great. |
