Free debian software for linux

Ubuntu is a Debian based linux distribution.

Welcome to Gutsy Gibbon a.k.a Ubuntu 7.10

Debian Operating System is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system is called Debian GNU/Linux, or simply Debian for short. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel.
Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software.
Debian comes with over 8000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) - all of it free. Its a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools.
Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together.
Among versions of Linux, Debian is fairly unique, unlike most distributions it isnt backed by any for profit venture and instead is an all volunteer organization. There is no for profit company, or business plan behind Debian, it is a wide ranging project along the lines of GNU. Debian also provides the basis for a number of other Linux distributions, such as Lindows, Xandros, Libranet, and Knoppix.
The linchpin of Debian is a combination package management system and distribution network called forth by the mighty apt-get command. What makes this network so exceptional is that the dpkg-deb files which make up Debian packages contain information on their underlying dependencies so installing a package from the Debian network will call up all of its dependent packages.
As an example, installing a KDE application would make sure that KDE, X windows, and everything underneath was already installed on the system, and if the prerequisite packages werent already installed than the packages would automatically be downloaded and installed from the Debian network.
Enhancements:
- The Debian project has updated the stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (code name Etch). This update adds security updates to the stable release, together with a few corrections to serious problems. As always, the first point release also corrects a few issues that have been noticed too late in the release process to stop the release, but still should be fixed. This point release for Etch also includes an updated release of the installer, which includes the following changes: kernels used in the installer have been updated to ABI 2.6.18-5; updated mirror list; support added for certain USB CD drives that were not being detected; incorrect setup of GKSu fixed when user chooses to install with the root account disabled...

Elive is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution and LiveCD featuring the Enlightenment window manager. Besides being pre-configured and ready for daily desktop use, it also includes "Elpanel" - a control centre for easy system and desktop administration.

Debian Live is a Debian SID Live CD.

UbuntuTrinux seeks to integrate elements (and code, where appropriate) of Trinux with the Debian/Ubuntu mkinitramfs infrastructure to allow easy development and packaging Ubuntu binary (and ultimately package and repository) compatible ramdisk distributions using recent 2.6.x kernels. As before, the most common use is network security monitoring and analysis.

Trinux: A Linux Security Toolkit was a ramdisk-based Linux distribution that was under active development from 1998-2003.

Debian Package Tools FE application is the first part of the Debian Package Tools FE based on python-qt3.
Debian Package builder FE is a frontend for dh-make, dpkg-dev, debhelper. It is a tool to learn to build packages for Debian based systems without any knowlegde concerning the above command line applications. Debian Package builder cannot fix build dependences and repair non-standard sources. It is only a graphical frontend.
This debug release is only for testing on your system. Debian Package Tools FE is not intended for non Debian based systems. If it works, you are lucky, but if it does not, I will not restrict the ability of the application for the shake of a restricted system. (It will not work on SUSE, because Qscintilla package does not contain the full version Qscintilla.)
Debian Package Builder FE was not tested on Ubuntu. Theoretically, it could work from Breezy, but the package dependences may not allow you to install it. In this case, I will include an Ubuntu version, just test it.
This is a debug release. In case of any error, you can test it by the command (from running from the console):
dpkg-tools-fe full_path_to_the_tarball/tarball_name.tar.gz or tar.bz2,
or without argument:
dpkg-tools-fe.
Enhancements:
- Threading improvements to increase process stability
- A solution for a python-qt bug in Debian 4.0.
- Postinst script improvements. Prerm script to clean-up.
