= Debian = '''Debian''' is a Linux-based operating system, and one of the oldest. Debian is developed and/or maintained in 6 branches: * '''Stable''' is the current release and receives periodic updates to software. * '''Oldstable''' is the previous release. It receives only security updates, and even then for just a year. * '''Testing''' is the next release. Kernels and software have been tested but not thoroughly, so both instability and frequent updates should be expected. * '''Unstable''', codenamed '''Sid''', is the active development branch. While it is expected to boot and run, code changes are checked in without testing. * '''Experimental''' is not even expected to boot and run. The releases other than unstable have rotating codenames. Currently they are: * Debian 10 (oldstable: support ended 9/10/2022) is '''Buster''' * Debian 11 (stable: support ends 7/2024) is '''Bullseye''' * Debian 12 (testing) is '''Bookworm''' <> ---- == Installation == === Upgrading === ---- == Administration == * [[Linux/Debian/Apt|apt]] * [[Linux/Systemd|systemd]] ---- CategoryRicottone
