Most of those 14 CDs contain software. The Deb repository is enormous, and it's doubtful that you would need every bit of it. You can install Deb with just a single CD, then use apt-get to load up on software.

Go here: Daily CD Images (http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily) to select the ISO file that'll work on your system.

Then see: Debian Home Page (http://www.debian.org) for documentation.
