Nope, raspian. From my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi # Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source' #deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ jessie master-sim deb-src http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ jessie master-sim no debian in site other than whats been thru the raspian "filter".
