An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. %pause Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more than 3950 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. %pause It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together. %pause Although Debian believes in Free Software, there are cases where people want or need to put commercial software on their machine. Whenever possible Debian will support this. There are even a growing number of packages whose sole job is to install commercial software into a Debian system. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %bgrad 0 0 48 0 1 "black" "blue" What can Debian do for you? %pause completely free operating system %pause well tested, rock stable operating system %pause clear policy %pause option to do things yourself %pause increase %pause usability %pause security %pause spreading over the world %pause availability to different architectures %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %bgrad 0 0 48 0 1 "black" "blue" Debian is a do-it-yourself system %pause if you want software get included you can %pause do it yourself if you are skilled \ (in general upstream maintainers are very skilled) %pause ask for it to get included %pause normally software which is needed will be packaged %pause kind of evolution principle %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %bgrad 0 0 48 0 1 "black" "blue" Why not just ship a Debian package ... ... but \ include \ the software right into debian %%fore "red" %%fore "white" %pause dependencies %pause mirrors %pause architectures %pause wide user base %pause bug system %pause security team %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %bgrad 0 0 48 0 1 "black" "blue" What about "Dependencies"? %%size 4 %%filter "cat installexample.dat" %%endfilter %font "typewriter", fore "green", size 4 # >apt-get install DrugDesign %font "typewriter", fore "yellow", size 3 Reading Package Lists...
