Debian features & resources

Universality

Through the use of purely open-source software that has no restrictions, Debian is known as a ‘universal operating system’ that runs practically everywhere. A reasonable default configuration is provided for every package, as well as regular security updates during the packages' lifetimes. For its complete set of functions and supported hardware and software, Debian is unrivalled. Most impressive is the package management with dpkg (Debian Package Manager) as well as the constant testing of applications and architectures, which helps to ensure you can install Debian on numerous systems and platforms and use the programs and tools you want.

Excellent stability

Debian has a couple of different ‘channels’; the primary ones include stable, testing and unstable. It waits to release a new version until almost every bug is eliminated from all packages. Once a new stable version is released, the developers release updates for critical or security issues only so as to not disturb the stability of the system by introducing anything major.

Strong security

With the numerous community developers, if security vulnerabilities are discovered, it’s usually only a couple of days before new, corrected packages are uploaded. But the vast majority of security gaps are discovered and rectified before the release of a new stable version. Debian focuses strongly on encryption, with optimal protection for sending and receiving electronic messages. Authenticated and encrypted connections to other machines can also be established via SSH (Secure Shell), which can communicate via the network protocol.
