hi, Which flavour of debian is easy to install.
Depends on what you want to use it for. But sarge from PCQ dvd was very easy for desktop use. Similarly knoppix (single live cd. (the latest version is two live cds) , woody (rock stable) and other debian based distros. Although sarge is working very well for me, it is not advisable for newbies.
How many CDs are essential.
Depends on use again, but the first three are enough for the vast majority. The others cds 7 for woody and 10 for sarge (afaik) have stuff like development libraries and electronic, chemical and other engineering stuff.
are the CDs at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/torrents/ good enough(easy to install.
All debian distros are the same. But check the mirror update policy. some of them might be a few weeks out of sync.
