If you want to obtain Debian on CD/DVD or USB stick, see below for the
available options. In case of problems, please check the FAQ about Debian CDs/DVDs.
If you simply want to install Debian and have an Internet connection on the
target computer please consider the Network
Install media which is a smaller download.
- Download CD/DVD images using HTTP.
Many mirrors supply direct HTTP download links you can download with your
browser or command line tool.
- Buy finished Debian media. They are cheap
- we do not make any profit with them! If your Internet connection
is charged by the minute, this is your only choice. You might also
consider buying media if you only have a slow internet connection,
as downloading all the images might take a very long time.
- Download CD/DVD images with jigdo.
The "jigdo" scheme allows you to pick the fastest out of
300 Debian mirrors worldwide for your download. It features easy
mirror selection and "upgrading" of older images to the latest
release. Also, it is the only way to download Debian DVD
images for all architectures.
- Download CD/DVD images with BitTorrent.
The Bittorrent peer to peer system lets many users cooperatively download
images at the same time, with minimal load on our servers.
DVD images are only available for some architectures.
- Download live images using HTTP, FTP or BitTorrent.
Also offered as a new alternative to the standard images are live images
which you can use to try Debian first and then install the contents of the
image.
Official CD/DVD releases are signed so that you can verify they are authentic.
Debian is available for different computer architectures - make
sure you are getting images that match your computer! (Most people
will need images for amd64
, i.e. 64-bit PC-compatible systems.) Once you have
created your own discs, you might be interested in the artwork for covers of Debian discs.
