<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system.
This operating system that we have created is called Debian.
</p>
<p>
At the core of an operating system is the kernel.
The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer and does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start
other programs.
Debian systems use the Linux kernel. Linux is a piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands
of
programmers worldwide.
