RE: Switching to Debian

Hi, I am a Windows switcher who wants to give Debian a try. I want to know that is the cd 1 enough for running a desktop system and if I need the other cds for software or can I use apt-get and install more software from the repositories. Is one cd enough for the basic GUI installation?

If so why are there 10+ cds for debian installation? If they are for software will I be good with cd1 and aptitude?

Thanking You,
Samad Rafeek
