	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, 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 -- 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 Weekly News is an in-depth summary of what's happened in the world of Debian.

		Debian's installer needs to be told these things because of a design tradeoff: Because it doesn't autoprobe for this data, the installer can be stable and usable even on bizarre hardware that tends to confuse autoprobe programs.

	Planet Debian
		Debian may ultimately decide its has outgrown SPI and wants its own foundation but it's role in providing an umbrella for other free software project also makes a lot of sense.
		A major point of friction I've gathered from many (Debian) sides stems from the fact that many developers are largely unsatisfied with how Canonical/Ubuntu cooperates and "gives back" to the Debian community: essentially, at the moment all we get are monolithic patches describing the differences between Debian packages and their Ubuntu counterparts.
		Nevertheless, it seems that some of the frictions we are currently facing between Debian and Ubuntu still have their roots in the bad feelings from those times (which may well still exist in the individual case).

	NewsForge \| How to Install Debian Linux on a desktop computer
		Debian is the old grandfather of Linux and was one of the first Linux distributions out there.
		Debian is divided into three branches: stable, testing, and unstable.
		Their idea of unstable is in regards to server use and is perfectly suited for desktop users.

	Debian Administration :: Debian Unstable gets X.org
		Debian was one of the earlier distributions to announce their intention to migrate, but due to the Sarge release the actual change took longer than other distributions.
		This is not serious to give such a piece of advice, as unstable is on the verge to become more and more unstable, til the 2 transitions are both complete.
		The xfree86 i810 driver that is in the debian package has several bugs, these bugs were fixed by the newer source (xorg).

	OSNews.com
		Because installing debian is a very rare event in a debianusers life (once installed, and with a little CLI-knowledge and support, there is no need to ever ever reinstall Debian other than hardware failure or something totally f*cked up like a rm -rf / as root) the debian-installer hasn't been significantly altered in years.
		Debian unstable really is unstable, and from the debian message board a lot of people seem to think testing is even more unstable thatn unstable.
		Debian may have a great installation system, but it is not without it's share of problems.

	Debian Installers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The standard Debian installer fits a very broad set of needs: flexible installs on multiple architectures from a range of media with minimal assumptions as to graphical support, modular, usable over any and all network transports and other console access mechanisms, and resistant to hardware problems.
		If you publish an ignorant review decrying the "Debian installer" but solely discussing a third-party image, you'll be gently mocked, especially if you flub that distinction a second time after being set straight.
		As with all Debian installers, it is expected that you will not persist in using the precompiled installation kernel long-term, but rather pick one truly suited to your hardware from the available kernel-image-* packages (or make your own), as one of your first post-installation steps.

	What about kde3 beta / rc packages in unstable ? - Debian Planet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The place to get help on a Debian problem (after reading docs) or to just chat and chill is #debian on irc.oftc.net.
		If Debian has "proven to be stable" it is only because people have been banging on it long enough to make it stable.

	Debian is unstable - LinuxQuestions.org
		Debian This forum is for the discussion of Debian Linux.
		I use a debian computer as a router here and it is very stable, minimal uptime of 2 months (usually it reboots cuz a new kernel version is out).
		Debian showed me this sort of behaviour with many other applications on different sessions.

		Debian GNU/Hurd source packages are those found in the pool, e.g.
		You are in the unstable Debian distribution which uses 2.95.3 but you install 2.95.2 cross-compiler (obviously).
		The latest Debian packages should be pretty straight forward (do not waste your time with unreleased Packages, do the current available packages in unstable).

	OpenOffice.org in Debian
		But still, if you want a OpenOffice.org with production quality, use the i386 one, either in a chroot, on a i386 system or using ssh -X. We also are working on "fake" _amd64.debs containg the 32-bit stuff for installing on native machines built directly with the _i386 debs which is 99% done.
		I am also wondering about uploading those debs to Debian experimental but this might quickly get a dependency nightmare (depending on when what is built) andI'd need to increase the debian revision anyhow somehow, so I don't think I'll do that.
		Because it has NEW binary packages again (and was renamed back to openoffice.org) it again waits for FTP master approval in the NEW queue.

	Philadelphia Area Debian Society (PADS)
		The Philadelphia Area Debian Society (PADS) was founded in May 1999 by CJ Fearnley to organize a working group of users and developers for improving Debian GNU/Linux based distributions (including Skolelinux, Libranet, Xandros, Knoppix, Floppix, DemoLinux) and our understanding of them.
		It is necessary for Debian developers to use and test the unstable releases to prepare the next stable release of the distribution.
		Advanced users may also want to test pre-release versions of Debian and use newer versions of upstream software as well as any new packages that are only available in unstable.

	debian: A less unstable unstable.
		Hell, it seems anyone who doesn't use Debian as a server uses unstable, and half the folks running servers do as well.
		I switched to that a while ago when a whole bunch of stuff was stuck in 'unstable' and I wanted KDE 3.1.
		But even though I haven't had any trouble with it, I know that 'unstable' means unstable, and I want to move back down to 'testing'.

	Apt-Pinning for Beginners
		This is caused because apt's cache is too small to handle all of the packages that are included with stable, testing, and unstable.
		This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
		Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.

	Debian Administration :: unstable nfsroot on stable?
		Let's pretend that I just manually copy the whole three of an installed unstable and then configure dhcpd/tftpd to point clients to it as nfsroot with an additional selection in pxe boot menu.
		And then i'll have to spend nights updating it from one of the clients running unstable.

		You might be sketchy about running Debian unstable, but I can tell you this...
		I have had less problems running Debian unstable on my desktop for the past year and now on my laptop than I did trying RedHat 8.0 on my laptop for two days.
		My laptop was already set up to boot from the CD so all that was required was inserting the CD and rebooting the computer (note, I had already setup my linux partitions using partition magic in windows).

	Debian Backports

		David Nusinow uploaded xorg-x11 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 to unstable a few days ago, so I updated the backport for sarge to 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4sarge1, based on the new version in unstable.
		In the meantime, the backport of xorg-x11 was also updated to 6.8.2.dfsg.1-3sarge1, which is based on 6.8.2.dfsg.1-4 from unstable.

		Also my repository still contains the old (stable,testing,unstable) directories and users will certainly never see the new changes because the primary repository is mirrored with wget.
		Now stable is sarge, testing is etch and unstable is sid.
