The Debian GNU/Linux operating system approaches Linux system administration
differently than other popular Linux distributions, favoring text-based configuration
mechanisms over graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Debian may appear simplistic
and even slightly outdated, but it is actually very robust, scalable, and secure.
Debian's open development cycle and strict quality control by the developers
help Debian to constantly gain popularity, despite its reputation as an operating
system just for professionals and hardcore computer hobbyists.
The Debian System introduces the concepts and techniques of the Debian
operating system, explaining their usage and pitfalls, and illustrating the
thinking behind each of the approaches. The book's goal is to give the reader
enough insight into the workings of the Debian project and operating system
so that they will understand the solutions that have evolved as part of the
Debian system over the past decade. While targeted at the well-versed UNIX/Linux
administrator, the book can also serve as an excellent resource alongside a
standard Linux reference to quickly orient the reader to Debian's unique philosophy
and structure.
