开发版：Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 Beta 2发布

来源: LUPA开源社区

Debian计划是由以创造一份自由操作系统为共同目标的个人团体所组建的协会。这份操作系统就叫作Debian GNU/Linux，或者简称为Debian。Debian系统目前采用Linux内核。Linux则是一套完全免费的软件，它由Linus Torvalds创建，并得到了全世界成千上万位程序员的支持。当然，人们需要有应用软件来帮助他们达到各种目的，这包括编辑文档、进行业务交易、玩游戏 以及编写更多的软件。Debian提供了20000多套软件，它们是已经编译好了的软件，并按一种出色的格式打成包，可以供你在机器上方便地安装。这一切 都可以免费获得。这种结构有一点像城堡，它以系统内核为基础，之上是所有的基本工具，接下来是你可以在计算机上运行的所有软件，城堡的最顶层就是 Debian――精良的组织和装配使得这一切可以协同运作。
