-{pve} is based on Debian. This is why the install disk images (ISO files)
-provided by Proxmox include a complete Debian system as well as all necessary
-{pve} packages.
+Since {pve} is based on Debian GNU/Linux, the installer ISO files
+provided by Proxmox include a complete Debian system as well as all
+necessary {pve} packages.
-TIP: See the xref:faq-support-table[support table in the FAQ] for the
-relationship between {pve} releases and Debian releases.
+{pve} can be installed via different methods:
-The installer will guide you through the setup, allowing you to partition the
-local disk(s), apply basic system configurations (for example, timezone,
-language, network) and install all required packages. This process should not
-take more than a few minutes. Installing with the provided ISO is the
-recommended method for new and existing users.
+* The recommended method is the creation of an
+xref:installation_prepare_media[installation medium], to boot the
+convenient xref:installation_installer[interactive installer].
-Alternatively, {pve} can be installed on top of an existing Debian system. This
-option is only recommended for advanced users because detailed knowledge about
-{pve} is required.
+* As an alternative to the interactive installer, advanced users may
+wish to xref:installation_unattended[install {pve} unattended].
+
+* With sufficient Debian and {pve} knowledge, you can also
+xref:installation_on_debian[install {pve} on top of Debian] manually.
+
+TIP: See the xref:faq-support-table[support table in the FAQ] for the
+relationship between {pve} releases and Debian releases.
