    If you are going to install Debian, during the installation process
    you'll be asked if you want to erase the content of your HD, so you
    don't need to do it before.

    On the Debian home page you'll find an installation guide
    (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual) for Woody, the
    latest Debian stable version released. The new stable, Sarge, should
    be released real soon now. A lot of people have found Sarge to works
    well, but can still have some rough egdes...
