Debian

The most versatile Linux distribution.

Debian is one of the hundreds of different Linux distributions currently available on the market, being the main distribution on which Ubuntu is based. But unlike most general distributions, this one has been developed for the main purpose of being installed on servers.

  It is a free operating system that is available for 12 different platforms ( i386, AMD64, alpha, SPARC, armel, ARM, PowerPC, HPPA, ia64, MIPS, s390 and m68k), includes more than 23.000 packages, that cover all kinds of software that any user may need, from databases or programing applications, to office suites or design tools.

  Among the packages that are available with Debian we will be able to find: OpenOffice, GIMP, Iceweasel, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Apache, PHP Samba and Perl, to name just a few.

  Even though it includes GNOME as the default desktop environment, it is also possible to use other like KDE, Xfce, LXDE or Enlightenment.

  Requirements: This download requires a broad band Internet connection to install the operating system. This download requires a ZIP compatible compressor.
