this the episode 2 of the series where we install debian.So first you might ask "what is debian?" so here is the answer:
DEBIAN:debian is a linux distribution which most server uses because of how fast and easy to install and manage it is.It also has a
distro family,in the debian family there is ubuntu,kali,etc.
Now you may also ask "why debian and not Kali?"
Now the simple answer is that kali installation process is almost same as debian.Only advantage of kali is that it has pre-installed
hacking tools,suppose there are 100 tools in kali most of the time you only use maximum 2 to 5 tools at a time and these tools will
be considered as bloat(items taking extra space in an OS),So thats why we are installing debian instead of kali because if you wanted to download
anything you can download it as your liking.Also you can customize debian easily.
Lets talk about the requirements to install debian:

- INSTALLATION media.A USBdrive or a DVD disk to put the installation media in it.
- RAM.i am using 2GB of ram but 4GB is best
- STORAGE.i am using 20GB of space but you can use greater then 20GB.please use a different drive as the grub boot menu could
- interfere with the windows boot menu but you can set it up later.
- BOOTMODE.a system with UEFI or bios(partitioning for both are different)
- PROCESSOR.a 64 bit processor

NOW the partitioning for UEFI and BIOS will be different
BIOS:
step1: enter 4GB of space then continue(or you can enter as your liking swap should be double the amount of ram means if ram is 2gb then swap should be 4GB)
step1.2:select primary then continue.
step1.3:now select use as then continue
step1.3:find swap area and select it then continue
step1.4:select done setting up the parition then continue.
step2:select the free parttion then continue
step2.1: enter the space as your liking i am using 7.5 GB for my home partition
step2.2:select primary then continue.
step2.3:select mount point then set it to /home then continue
step2.4:select done setting up the partition.
step3:select the free partiton then continue
step3.1:enter the amount of space you want to give the root partition
step3.2:select primary then continue.
step3.3:select done setting up the partition then continue
.
step4: select finish partitioning..... then continue
step5:select yes then continue
UEFI
step1: enter 2 GB for swap (i have less space thats why i am using 2GB only)then continue (or you can enter as your liking swap should be double the amount of ram means if ram is 2gb then swap should be 4GB)
step1.2:select beginning then continue.
step1.3:now select use as then continue
step1.3:find swap area and select it then continue
step1.4:select done setting up the parition then continue.
step2:select the free partition then continue
step2.1:enter 0.5GB of space for the EFI partition
step2.2::select beginning then continue.
step2.3:select use as then find EFI sysem partition then continue
step2.4:select done setting up the partition(if the boot flag is off then turn it on)
step3:select the free parttion then continue
