A [Linux] distribution.



The (http://www.debian.org/ Debian) project is a voluntary organisation that maintains a Linux distribution.  It is distinguished by its commitment to [FreeSoftware Free Software] (as distinct from OpenSource) and its superb package management tools [apt].



The Debian distribution is also available for a wide range of platforms, in addition to the ubiquitous x86/pc.
