I cant figure out what to do with this, please help me out how to set it up, I am really new to linux, so trying out different distributions, till now tried mint, fedora and ubuntu, will try opensuse with a few days. Please tell me what to do with all these files for debian and slackware.

You need to choose one of the .iso files, which are the actual distros; usually a cd1 or a dvd1 will have the installer.

In the case of slackware, the one file that concerns you is the slackware-14.1-install-DVD which would be a disk image that you want to burn onto a DVD to create a Slackware installation disc. You then boot up your computer with that DVD and follow the instructions.

In the case of Debian you have a bunch of .torrent files which a bittorrent client program would use to download the iso images. You would then burn the onto disks as you would for the Slackware file. In the case of Debian there is a much easier way to install it if you have an internet connection? You don't really tell us too much about how you got these files and on what machine you want to install Slackware and/or Debian.
