History
Debian was first released in 1993 by Ian Murdock while at Purdue University. Murdock wanted the software to be completely free and open so other users could edit and modify his code to improve the operating system, unlike other operating systems at the time. Debian grew very slowly from 1993-1994, but in early 1995, it started to get ported out to other operating systems.Features
Because Debian is the basis for many of other Linux operating systems, it is relatively similar to others. The package management feature allows users to update the installation easily, rather than having to reformat or do some other complicated configuration. All of the features of the Debian operating system are developed by volunteers.-
