Debian is a -very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete -Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is -<A href="http://www.debian.org/intro/free">free</A> -(as in "freedom"). -<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> - -Debian is available for various kinds of computers -("architectures"), like -"IBM-compatible" PCs (<i>i386</i>), -Compaq's <i>Alpha</i>, -Sun's <i>Sparc</i>, -Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors. -Check the <A href="http://www.debian.org/ports">ports</A> page -for more information. -<P> - -<A href="http://www.debian.org/intro/about">Read more...</A> - -<P><HR><P><H2><A name="thisdisc"> -About This Disc -</H2> -</a> -<p> -This disc is labeled -<P> -<tt> - Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r5 "Etch" - Official i386 BC Binary-1 20081024-15:52 -</tt> -<P> -which means that this disc is number 1 of a set of 1 discs. -The packages on this disc contain programs ("binaries") for 'ARCH' computers. -<P> -The packages on the Binary discs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 disc -contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible -to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 disc. -It is unlikely that you will need all of the 1 discs in the set. The -higher the number in the set, the less likely it is that you will use any of -the packages on that disc; higher-number images contain mostly special-interest -programs. -<P> -The Release Notes for "etch" are available on the <A -href="http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/releasenotes">Debian web -site</A>. - - -<P><HR><P><H2><A name="install"> -Installing -</H2> -</a> -<p> - - Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation procedure - may seem a bit unusual.

This is done - preferably with the 'apt' and 'aptitude' programs. - - <P> - - You can install packages from the commandline using - <tt>aptitude</tt>. For example, if you want to install the packages - 'commprog' and 'maxgame', you can give the command - <P> - <tt> - aptitude install commprog maxgame - </tt> - <P> - Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the - '<tt>.deb</tt>' extension.
