	Debian -- The Universal Operating System
		Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer.
		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 over 18733 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

	Debian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Debian, organized by the Debian Project, is a widely used distribution of free software developed through the collaboration of volunteers from around the world.
		Debian is also known for its package management system, especially APT, the Advanced Packaging Tool, for its strict policies regarding the quality of its packages and releases, and for its open development and testing process.
		Debian Developers may resign their positions at any time by orphaning the packages they were responsible for and sending a notice to the developers and the keyring maintainer (so that their upload authorization can be revoked).

	Debian Social Contract
		The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) part of the contract, initially designed as a set of commitments that we agree to abide by, has been adopted by the free software community as the basis of the Open Source Definition.
		If the program is extracted from Debian and used or distributed without Debian but otherwise within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system.
		This document was drafted by Bruce Perens, refined by the other Debian developers during a month-long e-mail conference in June 1997, and then accepted as the publicly stated policy of the Debian Project.
