Installing Linux Operating system

In this documentation, I am writing to brain dump the things each time I do installation.

My preffered OS

I have two free bootware USB sticks. With this it's pretty easy to install anything. The first one was gifted by Abhijit P A, Debian Developer and second one I got it during Debconf.
