But the ISO size is huge (~2.7 GB), something beyond my per-day bandwidth limit of 1.5 GB (actually 2 GB, but .5 GB is spent in other personal things). And I also found that Debian ships with a large pack of softwares and does not have (official) support for propertiary drivers.

Hi!

I found this [1] 1.3GB image.  (“standard” = no DE, just text console.  But you can add any DE you want later with “sudo tasksel”.)  That’s just barely under your stated daily bandwidth allowance of 1.5GB.  Everything else (the images that include a DE GUI) is hovering around 2.5GB.

You can also get it from bittorrent at [2].  Bittorrent is recommended if you have a choice, because it minimizes the load on the debian.org servers.

Hope it helps!

Rick
