Debian, is a package of software tools combined together 
under the open-licensed GNU (General Public Library) and some other free software, of the Linux operating systems which means it uses the Linux kernel. This operating system is the most popular and one of its best OS versions is the UBUNTU operating system.
Since you want to get with your operating system some basic tools, and of course some extra efficient tools, instead of finding each program that you find that you need, the Debian package has been created to contain the basic tools that are needed for and operating system.
The Debian package is being used both for Server and for Desktop operating systems, again the Debian package is the core of those operating system which are built upon the Debian package, like UBUNTU Linux distribution system.
So with all of those Linux distributions out there, why choose Debian? well, it is quite simple:
- A non-commercial totally free distribution.
- A true GNU/Linux distribution based on the Unix command style. This assures that the core that you are using will not be changed as time passes since it is the core of things.
- Easy to maintain – so you can easily get it updated and up to date, there is a mechanism that knows how to identify missing packages and update on required dependencies.
- Automatic updating – You can use automatic updates using a single command, which will collect the needed required updates from the internet, and install them automatically.
- The Debian distribution only uses real free software and it contains already around 25,000 applications and utilities.
- Help is accessible through forums, chat rooms of the community. You can get answers to almost any question you might have and there are developers who improve it daily.
- Performance is excellent and of course cheap since it uses any type of hardware, and does not require hardware upgrades or requires stronger equipment.
- Reliability and stability are the core focus of Debian, and you do not need to reboot it contantly.
— You can read more about the Debian packages at http://www.debian.org/ and get http://www.debian.org/, even though I would recommend working with Ubuntu than on Debian directly.
The reasons why Debian can be the perfect server are because it contains many common software tools, for almost any purpose that servers are being used for like those basic ones:
-
- Web server – Apache, PHP, Python, Mysql
- Mail server – Postfix.
- DNS server – Bind9
- FTP server – Proftpd
- File Server – Samba

Thanks for the tips you have shared here. One more thing I would like to state is that laptop or computer memory demands generally rise along with other developments in the technological know-how. For instance, if new generations of cpus are made in the market, there is usually a corresponding increase in the scale preferences of both the laptop memory and hard drive space. This is because the software program operated by simply these processor chips will inevitably rise in power to make new technological innovation.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
But think of if you added some great photos or videos to give your
posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche.
Terrific blog!
