The Debian Project was officially founded by Ian Murdock on August 16th, 1993. At that time, the whole concept of a "distribution" of Linux was new. Ian intended Debian to be a distribution which would be made openly, in the sprit of Linux and GNU (read his [[http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ap-manifesto.en.html|Debian Manifesto]] for more details). The creation of Debian was sponsored by the FSF's GNU project for one year (November 1994 to November 1995). Debian项目由Ian Murdock于1993年8月16日正式建立。那时,“发行版”这个概念还很新鲜。Ian打算让Debian追随Linux和GNU(详细内容请阅读 [[http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ap-manifesto.en.html|Debian Manifesto]])的精神,成为一个公开制作的发行版。Debian的创建由FSF的GNU项目支持了一个(1994年11月到1995年11月)。

Debian was meant to be carefully and conscientiously put together, and to be maintained and supported with similar care. It started as a small, tightly-knit group of Free Software hackers, and gradually grew to become a large, well-organized community of developers and users.

When it began, Debian was the only distribution that was open for every developer and user to contribute their work. It remains the most significant distributor of Linux that is not a commercial entity. It is the only large project with a constitution, social contract, and policy documents to organize the project. Debian is also the only distribution which is "micro packaged" using detailed dependency information regarding inter-package relationships to ensure system consistency across upgrades.

To achieve and maintain high standards of quality, Debian has adopted an extensive set of policies and procedures for packaging and delivering software. These standards are backed up by tools, automation, and documentation implementing all of Debian's key elements in an open and visible way...
