Why Debian?


Debian GNU/Linux, however, is in a class of its own.

Easy upgrades, Inclusion of more than 25,113 integrated software packages, Rock-solid stability, there is no need to reboot for standard updates or upgrades, Superior system security, Proven reliability in real world situations by thousands of demanding commercial, industrial, academic and non-profit organizations around the globe, The most carefully thought out policy of any computing platform, Provides significant consistency among packages, Requires separation of configuration, code, and data, Packaging modularity requirements allow for a smaller footprint.

Consistent help interface: Man pages are required, info(1) is optional, Institutionalizes the value of working to support 100% of users without disadvantaging any type of user, Default configurations should work for most users without configuration, Relatively straightforward configuration and upgrade ability, Source code availability to help us find bugs, fix security flaws without waiting for patches, and customize features to better meet business objectives, Support by a community that includes over 1,200 registered developers, Supported by a guiding vision in its Social Contract and Software Guidelines that will ensure a dedicated army of people from all around the globe to keep Debian improving on a sustainable basis, The best bug tracking system of any Linux distribution to rout out bugs and misfeature's, Like the Linux kernel, Debian developed as the spontaneously collaborative initiative of hundreds and eventually thousands of individuals. Phenomena that spontaneously organize have a primacy in their constitution that is rare, special, long-lived and fundamentally re-orienting for society and markets, The synergistic effect of these advantages is that our Debian-focused development is less expensive and more robust than if we based our software on other Linux distributions
