This is best.

No, you want non-US.  It has more software.

You should be able to boot it directly and install it.  The hard part is
getting X Windows working (as usual).  Installing on older computers is
usually preferred since the chipsets are well-established.  Progeny and
Knoppix are friendly Debian distributions.

Hopefully, it's Debian 3.0.  That's what I run.  I have never installed
this version from scratch -- I've only used it for upgrading my existing
system.
