Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.

Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 18733 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. [more]

At Organic Design we install Debian on our servers using the install new server procedure. Part of the procedure is to install the organicdesign-server package which installs and configures all the software necessary to perform all the procedures required by our services and projects.
