Compare that to typical phone +support: hours spent on the phone, for money, only to get someone who doesn't +know the system well enough to even understand your question. + +\paragraph{You wouldn't be alone in your choice} + +A wide range of organizations and individuals use Debian. See our Who's Using +Debian? page for a description of some high-profile sites which use Debian, and +have chosen to submit a short description of how they use Debian and why. + +\paragraph{The best packaging system in the world.} + +Tired of old files from software three versions old cluttering your system? Or +installing a piece of software only to find it causes your system to crash +because of software conflicts? Dpkg, Debian's endured packaging system, takes +care of these issues for you. + +\paragraph{Easy installation} + +If you have heard that GNU/Linux is difficult to install, then you haven't +tried Debian lately. We are constantly improving the installation process. You +can do the installation directly from CD, DOS, floppies or even over the +network. + +\paragraph{Incredible amounts of software} + +Debian comes with over 25000 different pieces of software. Every bit of it is +free. If you have proprietary software that runs under GNU/Linux, you can still +use it - in fact, there may even be an installer in Debian that will +automatically install and set up everything for you. + +\paragraph{Packages well integrated} + +Debian surpasses all other distributions in how well its packages are +integrated. Since all software is packaged by a coherent group, not only can +all packages be found at a single site, but you can be assured that we have +already worked out all issues regarding complicated dependencies. While we feel +that the deb format has some advantages over the rpm format, it is the +integration between the packages that makes a Debian system more robust. + +\paragraph{Source code} + +If you are a software developer, you will appreciate the fact that there are +hundreds of development tools and languages, plus millions of lines of source +code in the base system. All of the software in the main distribution meets the +criteria of the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). This means that you can +freely use this code to study from, or to incorporate into new free software +projects. There are also plenty of tools and code suitable for use in +proprietary projects. + +\paragraph{Easy upgrades} + +Due to our packaging system, upgrading to a new version of Debian is a snap. +Just run apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade (or aptitude update; aptitude +dist-upgrade in newer releases) and you can upgrade from a CD in a matter of +minutes or point apt at one of the over 300 Debian mirrors and upgrade over the +net. + +\rotatebox{90}{\includegraphics[height=.9\columnwidth]{distro-dev}} +\rotatebox{90}{Description} + +\paragraph{Multiple architectures and kernels} + +Currently Debian supports an impressive number of CPU architectures: alpha, +amd64, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, and sparc. It also +runs on GNU Hurd and FreeBSD kernels besides Linux, and with the debootstrap +utility you will be hard-pressed to find a device that can't run Debian. + +\paragraph{Bug tracking system} + +Debian's bug tracking system is publicly available. We don't try to hide the +fact that software doesn't always work the way users want. Users are encouraged +to submit bug reports and are notified when and why the bug was closed. This +system allows Debian to respond to problems quickly and honestly. -buga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga duga -\columnbreak -buga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga duga \section*{Acknowledgements} -\columnbreak \end{multicols} @@ -96,7 +170,7 @@ slkdjf \section*{Who is using NeuroDebian} \noindent -\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{usage_worldmap} +%\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{usage_worldmap} buga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga dugabuga duga
