| | Debian GNU/Linux - definition of Debian GNU/Linux in Encyclopedia |
 | | Debian, created by the Debian Project, is a widely used distribution of free software developed through the collaboration of volunteers from around the world. | | | Debian is supported by donations through Software in the Public Interest, a non-profit umbrella organization for free software projects. | | | Debian was founded in 1993 by Ian Murdock, then a student at Purdue University, who wrote the Debian Manifesto which called for the creation of a Linux distribution to be maintained in an open manner, in the spirit of Linux and GNU. |

| | Create Debian Linux packages |
| | Every Debian binary package should have a filename that follows this format: packagename_version_arch.deb, where "packagename" is the name of the package, "version" is the package version with major, minor, and revision numbers, and "arch" is the architecture for the package. | | | The Debian packaging system is one of the most elegant methods of installing, upgrading, and removing software available. | | | There are a number of companies and projects that create and distribute Debian packages of their software. |

| | Guest Editorial: A constructive critique of Debian Linux |
| | The Debian Linux distribution is widely regarded as a stable, albeit difficult to use, operating system. | | | Overall, I consider Debian to be a competent, robust distribution -- having few flaws as an operating system, but possessing some critical ones that have led to the unfortunate perception of it being an elitist distribution. | | | Also, Debian's standards-based approach is found throughout the distribution, as illustrated in file layout and configuration. |

| | Installing Debian GNU/Linux on the Mac Mini |
| | Debian has several "branches", several of which are in continuous development. | | | Due to the open source nature of the Linux kernel and the Debian operating system, it is possible to build the same software to run on the PowerPC processor found inside the Mac Mini. | | | Debian is very popular on Intel i386 compatible systems. |

| | Getting Acquainted with Debian GNU/Linux |
| | Debian is more likely to have the package you want since it has almost 9000 packages in its stable distribution and over 13,000 in its unstable distribution. | | | Debian recognizes that the Linux kernel is just one slice of the pie and calls itself Debian GNU/Linux to reflect the makeup of the entire system. | | | Debian is the the best GNU/Linux distribution around, for many reasons: |

| | Another good source of information for newcomers is the Debian Wiki. | | | If you are new to Debian we recommend you start first by reading the Release Notes, Installation Guide and the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ before you make your first Debian installation, it will probably answer many questions and help you work with your new Debian system. | | | You might also be interested in the installation guide for Debian 2.2, which is an on line tutorial. |

| | Embedded Debian -- The Universal Embedded Operating System |
| | Debian's multiarchitecture support, vendor independence, social contract and huge software base make it an attractive choice for all sorts of systems, but the main distribution is very much aimed at systems with at least desktop resources (big hard discs, plenty of memory). | | | Embedded Debian is currently very much a work-in-progress: plenty of people are already using Debian in their devices and systems, but there is huge potential to make doing this easier. | | | Embedded Debian is a project to make Debian GNU/Linux a mainstream choice for embedded projects. |

| | TuxMobil: Debian GNU/Linux Laptop and Notebook Distribution - Proposal |
| | Independent development groups can use the system for different sub-flavors of Debian, which may or may not really be of general interest (for instance, a flavor of Debian built with gcc bounds checking). | | | Writing the Linux Mobile Guide - Installing, Maintaining and Tuning of Linux on Mobile Computers, I noticed there is no Linux distribution dedicated to the needs of laptop and notebook users available. | | | They are "packages that depend on a group of packages that relate to a common activity, like playing games or developing C programs." Therefore it might better not to call such a project a 'distribution'. |
