What makes Debian special |
|
Debian is one of the world's oldest surviving Linux distributions, having produced new versions for 30 years and counting. Debian is also one of the largest distributions in terms of the number of members, the number of maintained packages, and CPU architectures supported. Why is Debian so large, flexible, and widely used (both in its vanilla form and as a base for child distributions)? In an overview of the project Lars Wirzenius covers some of Debian's highlights and talks about what sets the distribution apart. "Debian is a large, complex operating system, and a huge open source project. It’s thirty years old now. To many people, some of its aspects are weird. Most such things have a good reason, but it can be hard to find out what it is. This is an attempt to answer some such questions, without being a detailed history of the project." |
