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.
