- <title>What is &debian;?</title>
-<para>

-The combination of Debian's philosophy and methodology and the GNU
-tools, the Linux kernel, and other important free software, form a
-unique software distribution called &debian;. This
-distribution is made up of a large number of software
-<emphasis>packages</emphasis>. Each package in the distribution
-contains executables, scripts, documentation, and configuration
-information, and has a <emphasis>maintainer</emphasis> who is
-primarily responsible for keeping the package up-to-date, tracking bug
-reports, and communicating with the upstream author(s) of the packaged
-software. Our extremely large user base, combined with our bug
-tracking system ensures that problems are found and fixed quickly.

-Debian's attention to detail allows us to produce a high-quality,
-stable, and scalable distribution. Installations can be easily
-configured to serve many roles, from stripped-down firewalls to
-desktop scientific workstations to high-end network servers.

-
-Debian is especially popular among advanced users because of its
-technical excellence and its deep commitment to the needs and
-expectations of the Linux community. 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. It was also the first Linux distribution that could be
-upgraded without requiring reinstallation.
-
-</para><para>
-
-Debian continues to be a leader in Linux development. Its development
-process is an example of just how well the Open Source development
-model can work &mdash; 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. With Debian's simple update options, security fixes can
-be downloaded and installed automatically across the Internet.
-
-</para><para>
-
-The primary, and best, method of getting support for your &debian;
-system and communicating with Debian Developers is through
-the many mailing lists maintained by the Debian Project (there are
-more than &num-of-debian-maillists; at this writing). The easiest
-way to subscribe to one or more of these lists is visit
-<ulink url="&url-debian-lists-subscribe;">
-Debian's mailing list subscription page</ulink> and fill out the form
-you'll find there.
