In this opportunity, we will see how to install LinuxDebian 6. We will start with a little general information and then to ours, the installation of this great distro, with screenshots included for a better visualization of each plunge. |
According to the official wiki, Debian Linux is a free operating system, developed by more than a thousand volunteers around the world, who collaborate through the Internet.
Debian's dedication to free software, its volunteer base, its non-commercial nature, and its open development model sets it apart from other distributions of the GNU operating system. All these aspects and more are collected in the call Debian Social Contract.
It was born in 1993, with the idea of ​​creating a GNU system using Linux as a kernel. In turn, the Debian project, the organization responsible for its maintenance today, develops GNU systems based on other kernels (Debian GNU / Hurd, Debian GNU / NetBSD and Debian GNU / kFreeBSD).
One of its main objectives is to separate free software from non-free software into its versions. Unlike other distros, the development model is independent of large companies: it is developed by the users themselves, without depending in any way on commercial needs. Debian does not sell its software directly, it makes it available to anyone on the Internet, although it does allow individuals or companies to commercially distribute this software as long as its license is respected.
Debian Linux can be installed using a variety of installation mechanisms such as DVD, CD, Blu-Ray, USB sticks and floppy disks, and even directly from the network.
