A person who makes use of the ["Debian"] distribution of ["GNULinux"]. See DebianUserModels for a formalized version.

You are one of the most important components of a healthy open source distribution. Many of the philosophies that form the foundation of OpenSource development are based on the "many eyes make better code" idea.

Debian, and the wiki, need you to report bugs when you find them. Also the debian-user mailing list.

Pointers

Some pointers for a DebianUser :

  • .["deb"] is close to becoming a religion - mention .rpm at your peril
  • In all conversations, stable and bleeding edge need to be replaced with character names from [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ToyStory wiki:ToyStory]

  • [apt-get] update && apt-get dist-upgrade' - ahhhhhhh

    • (Clearly a ["neophyte"]. True vets put 'apt-get update && apt-get -y -d dist-upgrade' in crontab. After all, we're lazy, but we're commitment-phobic as the best of 'em.)

  • The Debian SocialContract is not just a good idea, it's a mantra to be chanted at all non-believers

  • Besides religious delusion... let's share our pragmatic experiences with particular ["DebianPackagesWithAPurpose"]
  • Linux desktop documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml

Have a look at the [http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian-worldmap/ Debian Users Worldmap] to see where we live :-)
