Question Debian Might Work!

Hello, i:

You mentioned Debian and I just found a version of the program that is a port to Debian. Here's the description: "Sfrotz 0.02, an SDL-based port of Frotz to Debian Linux, by Aldo Cumani. Based on Frotz 2.40 by Stefan Jokisch and Windows Frotz by David Kinder. Supports Blorb graphics and sounds, and includes partial support for the Standard 1.1 extensions."

Does this sound to you like it might work? If so, my first question is whether or not there is a version of Debian that can be run from a CD/DVD, much like Ubuntu? I would very much like to make sure the program actually does what I hope it does on my desktop prior to loading on the Kindle.

Then, my next question will be: how does one load Debian onto the Kindle and then how does one load a program into that Debian on Kindle?

I realize some of this might be on this forum but I don't seem to have a lot of luck finding what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the information and in advance for any further information you can provide.
