  14 NeuroDebian_ is not a *Linux distribution* in a traditional sense because we
  15 are working within Debian_ project thus not providing our custom installer
  16 etc.  But we are a Linux-distribution providing a repository of up-to-date
  17 builds and maintaining a :ref:`chap_vm` deployment of Debian.  Because of the
  18 openness and modularity of Debian other enthusiasts develop customized
  19 derivative solutions to address their particular needs.
  20
  21 This page presents some of such *derivative* projects which are tuned for
  22 particular domains of application in neuroscience and rely on NeuroDebian_ as
  23 the origin of necessary tools.
  24
  25 .. note::
  26
  27    These projects are not maintained by NeuroDebian_ team.  Please direct all
  28    you support inquiries to respective authors/maintainers.
