A New Stable Release of Debian
by Larry Ayers
In 1993 Ian Murdock created the Debian Linux distribution, initially under
the auspices of the Free Software Foundation's GNU project. Although the
direct connection with FSF/GNU is a thing of the past, Debian is still the
only major distribution which is not connected with a commercial entity and
which is maintained solely by a loosely-knit band of volunteers. The
parallels with Linux itself make this distribution appealing to Linux users
who value the ideals of the free-software world, including those who may
disagree with the purist views of the FSF.
