Deploying Debian GNU/Linux With ICE-Linux

Debian GNU/Linux is a collection of GNU applications compiled and distributed with the Linux kernel. Together they are called a dist, or distribution, of the Linux operating system. Debian GNU/Linux is unique. It is among the most complex of the Linux distributions because of its flexibility in providing distributions for other hardware architectures and operating system kernels. It also standardizes software packaging on all these hardware platforms and kernels while deliberately presenting the least amount of upstream source code management and code customization. Both the upstream source code maintainers and the users of code from a particular source are often most familiar with the defaults provided for their code.
