Debian GNU/Linux was first created by Ian Murdock in August
1993, and the name
comes from a combination of his name and his wife Deborah, hence
the name
Debian.
Debian comes with a very large repository of CDs or DVDs, so you are going to
be spoilt for choice, and all of this is bound together in perfect harmony, all
thanks to Debian's excellent Advanced Package Tool. Another good thing about
the large number of CDs/DVDs is that you do not have to download the program
files from the Internet.
Debian has stood the test of time and is perfectly suitable for general everyday
use. It is also very stable and free from bugs, which means that serious business
users that require mission-critical services will find Debian is O.K for these
people as well.
