Debian is a free Operating System for your laptop, server or embedded device. But it provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, with a Long Term Support cycle reaching 5 years for each stable release. Besides stable releases, Debian also provides a testing distribution channel, which is daily updated with the latest and greatest opensource software. Debian strives for correctness of implementation, as detailed in the official Debian Policy, and compliance to Free and Opensource software licensing, as documented in the Debian Free Software Guidelines. This is more or less based on the debian.org start page. If you come to a better text, I'd be happy to use it as well ! Emmanuel -- You know an upstream is nice when they even accept m68k patches. - John Paul Adrian Glaubitz, Debian OpenJDK maintainer
