This is one of the CD-ROMs of the
|
|
<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian GNU/Linux</a>
|
|
distribution. Debian is a
|
|
very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete
|
|
Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is
|
|
<A href="http://www.debian.org/intro/free">free</A>
|
|
(as in "freedom").
|
|
<P>
|
|
An operating system is the set of basic programs
|
|
and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating
|
|
system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the
|
|
computer, which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other
|
|
programs.
|
|
Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the
|
|
<A href="http://www.linux.org/">Linux</A> kernel but work is
|
|
in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using
|
|
<A href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html">the Hurd</A>.
|
|
Most of the basic operating system tools
|
|
come from the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</A>; hence the name
|
|
GNU/Linux.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Debian is available for various kinds of computers
|
|
("architectures"), like
|
|
"IBM-compatible" PCs (<i>i386</i>),
|
|
Compaq's <i>Alpha</i>,
|
|
Motorola's 680x0 (<i>m68k</i>),
|
|
Sun's <i>Sparc</i>,
|
|
Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors.

<P>
|
|
The programs on the Binary CDs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 CD

contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible

Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation procedure

<i>alongside</i> your current OS, or as the <i>only</i> OS on your computer.

After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CD-ROMs,
|
|
local collections, or networked servers (FTP, HTTP) to automatically
|
|
install software from (<tt>.deb</tt> <i>packages</i>). This is done
|
|
preferably with the `apt' and `aptitude' programs.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
You can install packages from the commandline using
|
|
<tt>apt-get</tt>. For example, if you want to install the packages
|
|
`commprog' and `maxgame', you can give the command
|
|
<P>
|
|
<tt>
|
|
apt-get install commprog maxgame
|
|
</tt>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the
|
|
`<tt>.deb</tt>' extension. `Apt' will figure this out itself.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available
|
|
Debian packages.
