Debian

<p>Debian is pronounced Deb, as in Debra, and ian, as in Ian, because the Debian project was started by Ian Murdock with the help of his wife Debra.</p>

<p>You can download Debian from <a href="http://debian.org/">debian.org</a> or one of the many mirror servers around the world. Some ISPs have their own mirror and let you download Debian free from download charges. If you live near my place, I am happy to give you a free CD containing Debian and prefer to give you an Ubuntu CD because Ubuntu is easier for most uses.</p>

<p>There are notes about Debian on this site. You can read lots of detail about Debian on the Debian site. If you are new to Linux, I suggest you practice with Ubuntu before tackling Debian, the equivalent to learning to drive a car using an automatic gearbox instead of a manual gearbox.</p>
