Subject: Debian 1.2 Released
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 96 11:13 PST
Message-ID: <m0vYGZd-00HyqdC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
bruce>
bruce> Software in the Public Interest
bruce>
bruce> Presents
bruce>
bruce> *** Debian GNU/Linux 1.2 ***
bruce>
bruce> * 848 software packages. Twice as many as in Debian 1.1!
bruce> * 120 active package maintainers. Largest staff of any Linux distribution!
bruce> * Compatible with RPM and Slackware packages!
bruce> * Upgrade-in-place means you never have to re-install a Debian system.
bruce> * Retrieves and installs new software packages automatically via FTP!
bruce>
bruce> Debian is a free Linux distribution. Its creators are 160 unpaid
bruce> volunteers from all over the world who collaborate via the Internet.
bruce> The quality of Debian can be favorably compared with the best of
bruce> commercial Unix and Linux systems. A detailed catalog of the software
bruce> packages in Debian can be found at http://www.debian.org/FTP/ .
bruce>
bruce> Debian 1.2 is a special release for us. With this release we have shown
bruce> that Debian is a mature system, and we're capable of becoming the leading
bruce> Linux distribution. Debian's dedication to free software, our non-profit
bruce> nature, and our open development model make us unique among Linux
bruce> distributions.
bruce>
bruce> The Debian 1.2 system features the Linux 2.0.27 kernel. A
bruce> distinguishing feature of Debian is the most comprehensive package
bruce> system available for any Unix or Linux system. The package system
bruce> retrieves software packages from a Debian FTP site automatically or
bruce> reads them from a disk or CD-ROM, and can upgrade, install, or
bruce> un-install packages at your request. Package "dependencies", a feature
bruce> pioneered by Debian, mean that if one package requires another package
bruce> to work the package system will offer to retrieve and install the
bruce> required package. A new feature is automatic conversion of Red Hat or
bruce> Slackware packages to Debian packages using our "alien" program. The
bruce> converted packages are capable of installing, upgrading, and
bruce> un-installing themselves just as native Debian packages do.
bruce>
bruce> There are ports of Debian 1.2 to the m68k, ALPHA, and SPARC in
bruce> progress. Prototype systems for the 68k and ALPHA already exist and
bruce> are available to developers. SPARC is just being bootstrapped, and a
bruce> MIPS port is expected eventually.
bruce>
bruce> There are two versions of the Debian distribution: the "stable", and
bruce> the "development" version. The "stable" directory currently contains
bruce> Debian 1.2.0 . Point releases of "stable" happen every few weeks as
bruce> bug-fixes are submitted, but there are no large changes until the next
bruce> major release. The "development" version is where we are building
bruce> Debian 2.0 . The development directory is updated continuously, and you
bruce> can retrieve packages from the "development" archive on our FTP sites
bruce> and use them to upgrade your system at any time. Thus, users who need
bruce> stability are well-supported, and those who wish to be constantly at
bruce> the leading edge are accommodated just as well.
bruce>
bruce> Debian was created by Ian Murdock in 1993, and Ian's work was sponsored
bruce> for one year by FSF's GNU project. Debian should be considered a direct
bruce> descendent of the GNU system. Although we're a separate organization
bruce> from FSF, our goals are similar and we maintain cordial relations with
bruce> them.
bruce>
bruce> FTP Sites:
bruce>
bruce> Debian FTP sites are everywhere from Kansas to Croatia! A list of them
bruce> is available at http://www.debian.org/ftplist.html . Some sites have not
bruce> caught up with the Debian 1.2 distribution. Those that have caught up will
bruce> have a "Debian-1.2" directory. Two good FTP sites are:
bruce>
bruce> ftp://www.debian.org/debian
bruce> ftp://debian.crosslink.net/debian
bruce>
bruce> The above sites carry a mirror listing in the file README.mirrors, so that
bruce> you can find your local FTP mirrors.
bruce>
bruce> The installation floppy disk images and a full installation manual are
bruce> in the Debian-1.2/disks-i386/current subdirectory on these sites.
bruce> You can access the installation manual using the URL
bruce> ftp://www.debian.org/debian/Debian-1.2/disks-i386/current/install.html .
bruce> The rest of the software packages are in the Debian-1.2/binary-i386
bruce> subdirectory.
bruce>
bruce> Web Site
bruce>
bruce> Visit our web site http://www.debian.org/ for more information about
bruce> Debian.
bruce>
bruce> Mailing Lists
bruce>
bruce> To subscribe to the mailing lists, send the word "subscribe" to one of
bruce> these addresses:
bruce>
bruce> debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org
bruce> There are a lot of experienced users on this list who can answer
bruce> any question you might have. There can be 50 messages a day or more
bruce> on this list.
bruce>
bruce> debian-announce-REQUEST@lists.debian.org
bruce> Major system announcements. Averages only a few messages per month.
bruce>
bruce> debian-changes-REQUEST@lists.debian.org
bruce> This is a list for announcements of new package uploads with bug fixes
bruce> for the stable version of the Debian system. It may carry many
bruce> announcements per day.
bruce>
bruce> debian-devel-changes-REQUEST@lists.debian.org
bruce> This is a list for announcements of new package uploads and bug fixes in
bruce> the development version of the Debian system. This is where you'll find
bruce> out about programs that have just been packaged for Debian. It may carry
bruce> many announcements per day.
bruce>
bruce> The mailing lists have a "spam filter". As soon as you subscribe, you'll
bruce> be sent the mailing list rules, and you must agree to them before posting.
bruce>
bruce> Questions and Answers
bruce>
bruce> Q: How should Debian be compared to other Linux systems?
bruce>
bruce> A: Debian is at least as good as any other Unix or Linux distribution,
bruce> even the most professional. Debian's most important feature is it's
bruce> package system, which is the most comprehensive available for any Unix
bruce> or Linux system. Red Hat's "RPM", used by a number of Linux
bruce> distributions, is the only comparable package system. RPM has picked
bruce> up a number of features that were pioneered in Debian, including our
bruce> use of package dependencies. Now we've made Debian capable of converting
bruce> Red Hat packages automatically, so that commercial programs for these
bruce> other Linux distributions can be installed on Debian.
bruce>
bruce> One major difference between Debian and other Linux distributors is
bruce> that Debian is a non-profit organization, and the others are commercial
bruce> companies. Debian's aim is to work together with other Linux distributions
bruce> rather than compete with them. We respect these organizations and their
bruce> employees. We encourage all creators of Linux distributions to derive
bruce> components or their entire distributions from Debian.
bruce>
bruce> Q: How compatible is Debian?
bruce>
bruce> A: We communicate with other Linux distribution creators in an effort
bruce> to maintain binary compatibility across Linux distributions. Most
bruce> commercial Linux products run as well under Debian as they do on the
bruce> system upon which they were built. Our "alien" program allows you to
bruce> treat packages created for these other systems as if they were Debian
bruce> packages.
bruce>
bruce> Q: What about Internationalization?
bruce>
bruce> A: There's an active subgroup of our developers who are internationalizing
bruce> Debian. Translations of Debian documentation are available in several
bruce> different national languages.
bruce>
bruce> Q: How do I become a Debian Developer?
bruce>
bruce> A: We're looking for people who would like to contribute work to Linux
bruce> and be members of an international community of software developers
bruce> that's making something that matters! You can find all of the
bruce> developer's information in the "Debian Policy Manual" and "Dpkg
bruce> Programmer's Manual", available on our web site http://www.debian.org .
bruce>
bruce> Q: Can I make and sell Debian CDs?
bruce>
bruce> A: Go ahead. You don't need permission to distribute anything we've
bruce> _released_, although you should tell us you're making a CD so that we
bruce> can help you avoid a few costly mistakes. You don't have to pay us
bruce> anything. We will, however, publish a list of CD manufacturers who
bruce> donate money, software, and time to the Debian project, and we'll
bruce> encourage users to buy from manufacturers who donate, so it's good
bruce> advertising to make donations. Of course all CD manufacturers must
bruce> honor the licenses of the programs in Debian. For example, many of the
bruce> programs are licensed under the GPL, which requires you to distribute
bruce> their source code.
bruce>
bruce> Q: What is "Software in the Public Interest"
bruce>
bruce> A: It's a non-profit organization we formed to sponsor the Debian
bruce> effort. The purpose of the organization is to develop and distribute
bruce> free software. Our goals are much like those of FSF except that our
bruce> main project is a Linux system. We encourage programmers to use the GNU
bruce> General Public License or another license that allows free
bruce> redistribution and use of software.
bruce>
bruce> * * *
bruce>
bruce> The trademarks "Unix", "Red Hat", "Slackware", and "RPM" are the
bruce> property of their respective owners. Ownership of the name "Linux" is
bruce> currently in dispute.
