Designed by various volunteer developers at linuxcnc.org, it is typically bundled as an ISO file with a modified version of Debian Linux which provides the required real-time kernel. Due to the tight real-time operating system integration, a standard Linux desktop PC without the real-time kernel will only run the package in demo mode.
It is developed for the Debian Linux distribution, and is closely integrated with Debian's package management system, dpkg. When packages are being installed, debconf asks the user questions which determine the contents of the system-wide configuration files associated with that package.
Emdebian Grip is a discontinued small-footprint Linux distribution based on and compatible with Debian.Compared to Debian, it provides more fine-grained control over the package selection, size, dependencies and content, enabling that way creation of small and efficient Debian packages for use on resource-limited embedded systems.
Debian GNU/Hurd is a flavor based on the Hurd kernel (which, in turn, runs on the GNU Mach microkernel), instead of the Linux kernel. Debian GNU/Hurd has been in development since 1998, [ 252 ] and made a formal release in May 2013, with 78% of the software packaged for Debian GNU/Linux ported to the GNU Hurd. [ 253 ]
Debian Unstable, known as "Sid", contains all the latest packages as soon as they are available, and follows a rolling-release model. [6]Once a package has been in Debian Unstable for 2-10 days (depending on the urgency of the upload), doesn't introduce critical bugs and doesn't break other packages (among other conditions), it is included in Debian Testing, also known as "next-stable".
The term GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux is used by the FSF and its supporters to refer to an operating system where the Linux kernel is distributed with a GNU system software. Such distributions are the primary installed base of GNU packages and programs and also of Linux. The most notable official use of this term for a distribution is Debian GNU/Linux.
dpkg is the software at the base of the package management system in the free operating system Debian and its numerous derivatives. dpkg is used to install, remove, and provide information about .deb packages.
