[3] Official website www.debian.org Debian (/ˈdɛbiən/) is an operating system composed of free software mostly carrying the GNU General Public License, and developed by an Internet collaboration of volunteers aligned with the Debian Project. It is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for other Linux distributions. Debian 2 Debian was announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents. New distributions are updated continually and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze. As one of the earliest distributions in Linux's history, Debian was envisioned to be developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. This vision drew the attention and support of the Free Software Foundation, who sponsored the project for the first part of its life.

  • How Do I Pick a New Linux Laptop System and Distro? (Excerpts from Emperorlinux-Lincolns-Logbook)
    How do I pick a new Linux laptop system and distro? (Excerpts from EmperorLinux-Lincolns-Logbook) Lincoln D. Durey, Ph.D. May 5, 2004 Portable Linux Enthusiast, Today's article has relevance to all of us at some time or another. It is the nature of hardware to get old and slow. So, we all find ourselves needing new Linux laptop about every 3 years. Lincoln's new Linux Laptop: As the founder and president of a Linux laptop company, I get quite a few questions about which machine I use, and which Linux distro I use. While those are interesting questions with easy answers which we'll get to, I also field the age old question of "How can I take my data with me?" from our returning customers (as we've been at this Linux on laptops thing for 5 years now, we have many customers coming back after a 3-4 year run on one of our systems, and it's time to upgrade). So, I'm going to roll all these questions into one essay and answer: "How do I pick a new Linux laptop system and distro, and then move my data, and my work flow to it?" I took delivery of an EmperorLinux Toucan T21 in January of 2001, and used it approximately 12-16 hours a day for over three years. The Toucan T21 (named "tori") ran Red Hat 7.3, with all the same modifications to the kernel (the empkernel), and the config files that our customers enjoy. Recently, tori started making not-happy-disk noises, and the LCD back-light was flickering.

Fedora’s flexibility makes it capable of serving as a digital repository for a variety of use cases. The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.[5] One of Fedora's main objectives is not only to contain software distributed under a free and open source license, but also to be on the leading edge of such technologies.[6][7] Fedora developers prefer to make upstream changes instead of applying fixes specifically for Fedora—this ensures that their updates are available to all Linux distributions.[8] Compared to more mainstream non-Linux operating systems, Fedora has a short life cycle.
