|
<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
|
|
information.</p>

<p>After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can
|
|
use CDs, DVDs, local collections, or networked servers (FTP,
|
|
HTTP) to automatically install software from (.deb
|
|
<em>packages</em>). This is done preferably with the ‘apt’ and
|
|
‘aptitude’ programs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can install packages from the commandline using
|
|
apt-get. For example, if you want to install the
|
|
packages ‘commprog’ and ‘maxgame’, you can give the
|
|
command:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

|

<code>apt-get install commprog maxgame</code>

|
|
<p>Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the
|
|
‘.deb’ extension. ‘Apt’ will figure this out
|
|
itself.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of
|
|
available Debian packages.</p>
