Debian Distribution For Linux: By: Felipe Salazar and Cherub Ngirazi

Debian is an Linux distribution that offers more stability than Ubuntu as it only upgrades features after thorough testing. It is better suited for experienced programmers and comes with more configuration options that must be set manually. Debian does not include a default desktop environment, making it more lightweight than Ubuntu. It is developed and maintained by volunteers worldwide rather than a single company. File manipulation and creation uses the same commands as Ubuntu, such as cat to create files and ls to list files.
