Introduction
#ifdef OUTPUTtext
< br / > ============
#endif
< / h2 >
< 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 >
< p > Debian is available for various kinds of computers
(“ architectures” ), like “ IBM-compatible” PCs (< em > i386< / em > ),
Compaq's < em > Alpha< / em > , Sun's < em > Sparc< / em > , Motorola/IBM's
< em > PowerPC< / em > , and < em > (Strong)ARM< / em > processors. Check the
< a href = "http://www.debian.org/ports" > ports< / a > page for more
