Debian was first introduced by Ian Murdoch, a student from Purdue University, USA, on August 16, 1993, the Debian name derived from a combination of ex-girlfriend Debra's name and his name is Ian.
At first, Ian began by modifying the distribution of SLS (Softlanding Linux System). However, he was not satisfied with the SLS has been modified by him so that he believes that it is better to build the system (Linux distribution) of zero (In this case, Patrick Volkerding also tried to modify the SLS. He succeeds and its distribution is known as the "Slackware").
Debian Project grew slowly at first and released a version 0.9x in 1994 and 1995. The transfer into the architectures other than i386 starts By 1995. Version 1.x began in 1996.
In 1996, Bruce Perens replaced Ian Murdoch as a Project Leader. In the same year the debian developer Ean Schuessler, took the initiative to form the Debian Social Contract and Debian Free Software Guidelines, provide the basic standard of commitment to the development of the debian distribution. He also formed the organization "Software in the Public Interest" to overshadow the debian legally and law.
In late 2000, a project to make changes in the debian archive and release management. And in the same year the developers start the annual conference and workshop "debconf".
On April 8, 2007, Debian GNU / Linux 4.0 released, codenamed "Etch". Releases latest version of Debian, 2009, code-named "Lenny". Deb is the extension of the Debian software package format and the name most often used for binary packages that way. Such "Deb" part of the term Debian, it comes from the name of Debra, then girlfriend and now ex-wife of the founder of Debian's Ian Murdock.
Debian package is also used in distributions based on Debian, like Ubuntu and others. Debian packages are standard Unix in archives that include two gzipped, tar archive bzipped or lzmaed: one that holds the control information and the other containing the data. Canonical program for handling these packages is dpkg, most often through apt / aptitude. deb packages can be converted into other packages and otherwise use the alien.
Some core Debian packages are available as udebs ("micro debs"), and usually only used to bootstrap the installation of Debian Linux. Although the file using the filename extension udeb, they adhere to the same specifications as usual structure deb. However, unlike their deb counterparts, only the packages udeb functionally important files. In particular, documentation files are usually omitted. udeb package can not be installed on a standard Debian system.
