I’m new to debian and would like to give it a try in my computer.Â* I noticed that there are two options for download.Â* CD or DVD?Â* Is one better than the other?Â*
My second question is there are a number of difference files to download.Â* Which one would I use download if I’m running an IBM Levono ThinkCenter M55e Tower Core Duo 2.13 Ghz.
Â*
Thanks!

If you have a descent connection CD 1 is fine. If you have access to a descent
connection but you intend to install at a location that doesn't have the
greatest connection the DVD's might be better for you. CD 1 will get you a
base system installed including a desktop environment and then you will be
able to retrieve any additional packages and updates via the net.
You can chose between 32 or 64 bit. I would suggest to go with Lenny/Testing
as it is about to become the stable release by the end of the month.

I'd go for the debian-live-lenny-i386-gnome-desktop.iso.
