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.

Wiki

You can see the ?PageIndex, or use the search box.

If you are new to Wiki, you might want to visit the ?HelpPage, set your ?UserOptions, and then play around on the ?SandBox.

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 ToyStory (See {Wikipedia: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.)

    • (Novice users should use one of the ["GUI"]s like ["Synaptic"] or ["dselect"], before complaining about a non-working apt-get.)

  • 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"]

  • Debian documentation: http://www.debian.org/doc/

  • Debian/Linux ["Firewalls"], the general DNAT problem: [Firewalls-dnat-redirect]

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