Debian-JP

Debian GNU/Linux is a free Linux distribution developed by volunteers on the Internet. The home site of Debian GNU/Linux is http://www.debian.org.

Debian is installed from six floppy disks. Once the base system is installed, additional Debian packages are installed using dselect or dpkg. I favor Debian due to its modular approach and its package dependencies. The package dependencies help to allow easily customizable English-Japanese Linux systems.
