I recently switched from Red Hat to Debian.
To avoid downtime, I tried debootstrap and
it worked pretty well, although I had to do
a few things by hand. Anyway, I was able to
install a Debian system onto a second hard
disk while I continued working in Red Hat.

The Debian install guide has some instructions
for this method.
