Debian GNU/Linux

Updated by FastRunner on Monday, April 09th 2007.

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more than 8710 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Licence : Open Source

Debian is the only community run linux distribution. If you
are thinking wait a minute what about fedora. Think again,
and have a look at how fedora's policies are made in
particular long term policy. This in itself I think is enough
reason to use Debian and actively dis-regard other distributions,
at least for the politically minded. By using Debian and thereby
adding to its user base, you ensure that the future of linux
and such things as linux standards would not be controlled
by co-orporate lobbies but by the community at large.

The best distro with some glitchs...

Debian only lacks sofware optimization. All packages should be compiled at least for i586. Or at least have a way to recompile them before installing, a la gentoo.

This is one NICE operating system. Easy to install and configure for newbies, yet powerful. The package installation/removal system is superb!

Debian as a destination...

It is funny, I was at the LWE in NYC this year, when I overheard a guy make this statement... it is so true, the evolutionary scale of a Linux user if you will:

"Everyone should start out with RedHat or maybe Caldera, they are simple and for the most part harmless and they are enough to at least get the new user over fear of *Linux* -- then, next stop should be Slackware, it is like that old piece of shit car you had as a teenager, you spend most of your time working on it and your friends all laugh at you for owning it, but you learn a lot about keeping a system going (the hard way) and later on down the road, you'll be glad you picked up what you did -- next stop is SuSE, this is Linux refined, powerful and loaded with applications, now you are starting to realize all you can do with Linux. But you will have miss the ability to get under the hood like you used to and fine tune things the way *you* like'em -- Now, time to step up, Debian GNU/Linux, you have made it, Linux perfection!"

I guess one needs to add a fork in the road somewhere for those who end up with Mandrake?

Debian == Work | Play == Mandrake



Professional Linux

Yes, of course it is. At last ! A linux who doesn't care
about the last version of package-....., but instead uses
the STABLE version. As i am sys/net admin, i must admit
Debian is pro.
you want to upgrade your system ?
apt-get update && aptg-get upgrade ...
it seems it will not waste time anymore searching for rpms.
