I am a big fan of Debian Linux, and while I do believe it is completely possible to install Debian on an Asus ROG, I would recommend using Ubuntu LTS instead if you are nervous. Ubuntu LTS is stable, easy to install, and the user support is stellar. I've been dual booting Ubuntu LTS on my G56SX for a couple years. I even had OpenIndiana, PC-BSD, and NetBSD in a quadruple boot setup with Windows 7 on my gaming laptop. So what you ask is completely do-able. I would recommend finding out the exact model number of your laptop, then google around. If it is an older model, you are more likely to find information about gotchas other users have run into dual-booting Asus ROG laptops with Windows. Your mileage may vary. I just purchased the GL551JW, and will be dual-booting with it soon. I just hope Linux plays nice with the Optimus graphic card selector.
