No, the 'r' stands for "revision". When downloading an image, always
pick the highest revision. But if you already have an older revision
lying around, upgrading is easy, so you don't necessarily have to
download the newest version.

Yep, disc 1 should contain almost or even everything you need.

CD or DVD? The DVD will most certainly contain everything you need, but
for CDs you might also need #2. Search for your packages here:

http://www.debian.org/CD/

"Latest official release of the "stable" CD images: 4.0 rev1."

Assuming it's a web server, it'll eventually be networked, yes? Then,
you can add on anything CD1's missing from the repositories. Or is
this a standalone development server? You may need to pull down more
than CD1 somehow. Sneakernet from a friend with a fast connection?

Do you know about apt-cdrom? Since you're new to Debian, I recommend
wiki.debian.org for lots of great pointers.
