-{pve} ships as a set of Debian packages, so you can simply install it
-on top of a normal Debian installation, or download the installation
-CD-ROM and use that to install {pve} on your hardware.
+{pve} is based on Debian and comes with an installation CD-ROM 
+which includes a complete Debian ("jessie" for Proxmox VE 4.x) system as 
+well as all necessary Proxmox VE packages. The
+installer just asks you a few questions, then partitions the local
+disk(s), installs all required packages, and configures the system
+including a basic network setup. You can get a fully functional system
+within a few minutes. This is the preferred and recommended installation method.

 
 

-Installing on top of an existing Debian installation looks easy, but
-it presumes that you have correctly installed the base system, and you
-know how you want to configure and use the local storage. Network
-configuration is also completely up to you.
+Alternatively, Proxmox VE can be installed on top of an existing Debian system. 
+This option is only recommended for advanced users since detail knowledge about 
+Proxmox VE is necessary.
