Starting points
Try or Install Debian
The following files are ISO images which can be used to make a bootable CD or USB key used to start your system with. More details about this, specially how to create such media in other operating systems, are available on the FAQ.
To try Debian (and optionally, install it), you can boot from a 64-bit Live CD (GNOME desktop): Debian 6 (stable, aka Squeeze) / Debian 7 (testing, aka Wheezy)
To install Debian, multi-architecture installers (32 bit and 64 bit) are also available: Debian 6 / Debian 7
Other versions, types and sizes of installers (including installers for older computers, network-based, servers, etc.) are available for more experienced users

Ubuntu
Developer resources
Utnubu is Ubuntu spelled backwards. One of Ubuntu's activities is frequently redistributing packages originally from Debian to Ubuntu's users. Well, Utnubu is about the reverse, copying packages from Ubuntu to Debian.
