DebianDebian one of the major distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system (OS). 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. The Debian project was started in August 1993 by Ian Murdock as a new distribution. 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. Debian for BusinessBusiness owners can save a great deal of money by jumping off the proprietary software licensing and forced upgrade band wagon and switching to a free software solution. Debian GNU/Linux not only avoids any need for licensing accounting and the threat of software audits, but also provides realistic free alternative to many types of proprietary software. Business can also save money by extending the life of older hardware. Debian GNU/Linux can easily support older hardware configurations longer and lets businesses save more money by avoiding unnecessary hardware upgrades or reducing the requirements for leading edge equipment. Additional savings are realized since the software and any upgrades are free. Free software applications can be downloaded and installed at little or no cost, and the open office applications are free. Debian GNU/Linux is easy to install on a network and is compatible with other operating systems, systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, and UNIX. Your staff should quickly adapt by using familiar Internet and productivity tools, while your business gets the rewarded with stability, security, and a virus-free computing the GNU/Linux has to offer. Debian GNU/Linux automatically supports multiple-CPU based motherboards, and you will be able to take advantage of the benefits of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) in more advanced computing environments that require greater CPU power. Debian GNU/Linux can support 16 processor chips (16-way) on a single motherboard which exceeds the requirements of most businesses. Typically, single processor systems and dual processor workstations or servers will meet the needs of most small businesses. Ubuntu can address up to 64GB of RAM Memory, allow individual file sizes in excess of 2GB, and [theoretically] host the demands of billions of users. Debian GNU/Linux supports the creation and use of an inexpensive yet efficient work environment. By eliminating the costs of maintaining software licenses, you can acquire productive and efficient multi-user system for less than the cost of just the proprietary software licenses alone. These cost savings can be applied to training your staff or purchasing notebook computers, providing remote access capabilities to your network or just added to your profit margin. 64-Bit ComputingDebian fully supports AMD64 and Intel EM64T processors, and we recommend that you use the 64-bit Version of Debian to get the maximum benefit from these new advanced processors. GNU/Linux was the first operating system to support this new technology by utilizing the power of the x86-64 bit architecture.
