Our extremely large user base, combined with our bug -tracking system ensures that problems are found and fixed quickly. - -</para><para> - -Debian's attention to detail allows us to produce a high-quality, -stable, and scalable distribution.

Debian also introduced many -features to Linux that are now commonplace. - -</para><para> - -For example, Debian was the first Linux distribution to include a -package management system for easy installation and removal of -software.

Its development -process is an example of just how well the Open Source development -model can work — even for very complex tasks such as building and -maintaining a complete operating system. - -</para><para> - -The feature that most distinguishes Debian from other Linux -distributions is its package management system. These tools give the -administrator of a Debian system complete control over the packages -installed on that system, including the ability to install a single -package or automatically update the entire operating system. -Individual packages can also be protected from being updated. You can -even tell the package management system about software you have -compiled yourself and what dependencies it fulfills. - -</para><para> - -To protect your system against <quote>Trojan horses</quote> and other malevolent -software, Debian's servers verify that uploaded packages come from -their registered Debian maintainers. Debian packagers also take great -care to configure their packages in a secure manner. When security -problems in shipped packages do appear, fixes are usually available -very quickly.
