+
    +
  • Free Software
    • +
  • 100% created and governed by volunteers
    • +
  • Very very stable
    • +
  • Very very big
    • +
  • Flexible...
    • +
+

Debian is "the universal Operating System"

+
+
+

Debian - very flexible...

+
    +
  • Flexible: good
    • +
  • Very flexible: very good
    • +
+
+
+

Debian - too flexible!

+
    +
  • Flexible: good
    • +
  • Very flexible: very good
    • +
  • Very flexible: very confusing!
    • +
+

Debian is maybe too flexible: confusing or even scary...

+
+
+

Debian - ways to simplify

+
    +
  1. Tolerate it: Use it as-is
    2. +
  2. Remove choice: Use e.g. Ubuntu
    3. +
  3. Use a Debian Pure Blend
    4. +
+
+
+

Debian - simple if generic defaults are ok

+
    +
  • Mainstream (but not too new) hardware
    • +
  • GNOME desktop

  • Iceweasel web browser (= Firefox)
    • +
  • Exim MTA

  • Apache web server

+
    +
  • Nicer than Debian - if you like the defaults
    • +
+
+
+
