Debian GNU+Linux

Debian is a GNU+Linux distribution. Debian is notable for being one of the earliest distributions, and one of the most influential. Debian comes with no proprietary software by default, nor is there any in the default Aptitude repositories, but the FSF damns Debian as they host non-free software on the same server.

Why use Debian?

  • Can be as bare as desired; often used on servers.
    • Also, Stable renown for stable.
  • Easy to customize/rice.
  • Excellent selection of software.
  • Minimal, visually appealing logo.
  • The Debian Project often does neat things, like Debian/kFreeBSD and Debian/Hurd.
