List of Linux Distributions Based On Debian
Tak terasa sudah lebih dari dua tahun ini menggunakan distro linux Debian. Salah satu distro linux tertua di dunia yang populer dengan kestabilannya. Debian dikenal karena pilihannya yang beragam. Rilis stabil saat ini memuat lebih dari 29000 paket perangkat lunak untuk 9 arsitektur komputer.
Fitur yang menonjol dari Debian adalah APT sistem pengaturan paket, repositori dengan jumlah paket yang banyak, kebijakan paket yang ketat, dan kualitas rilis yang terjaga. Praktik ini memungkinkan pemutakhiran yang sederhana antar rilis, begitupun untuk penghapusan paket.
Saat ini terdapat berbagai macam distro linux yang merupakan varian dari Debian, diantaranya Ubuntu, MEPIS, Dreamlinux, Damn Small Linux, Xandros, Knoppix, BackTrack dan Linspire.
