+stable and versatile research platform -- the Debian OS.
+Since 2005, NeuroDebian integrates neuroscience software into the Debian
+operating system to allow neuroscientists to benefit from the advantages of
+the universal operating system in their day-to-day research activities.
+The NeuroDebian repository
+(\url{http://neuro.debian.net}) offers the latest research software for
+all Debian suites (and various releases of Ubuntu).
+The combination of a stable generic
+operating system, Debian, and a variety of conveniently accessible research
+software creates a versatile research platform for neuroscience that offers the
+latest methodologies of the field for everyone, for free.
+These advantages make NeuroDebian increasingly popular among
 neuroscientists and scientific software developers.
