Debian. ;) And you only need a few flopies to install it. Now realize that this isn't a windows installer but it's also not that hard. Go to debian.org and look at the floppy images for i386. It takes me about 1 1/2 hours to install Debian via floppy on an old Compaq.

I wanted to install debian, but i found it difficult to install its to frigging confusing. How did you do it?

http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/index.html is a beginner linux tutorial that does actually contain a debian installation walk-through, which may be helpful.
