Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Hello debian lemmies,

If anybody is interested, I've made an alternative debian installer targeted for laptops and workstation PCs. It has some nifty features over the official installer, have a look.

Personally, I prefer setting up without backports and non-free and enabling them as needed. That said, I think the default should be more like your installer. New and inexperienced users are not going to know how to setup backports or enable non-free, or even know they exist. Nice job.
