Debian Distribution for linux

By: Felipe Salazar and Cherub Ngirazi

Differences with Ubuntu
• What differs?
- Debian is better suited for experienced
programmers than Ubuntu.
- Debian comes with more configuration options,
but they need to be set manually.
- Debian does not accept packages of other owned
software.
• Why it differs?
- The aim was to create a user-friendly distro that
could have the same functionality without being as
confusing to use.
• How it differs?
• Debian offers more stability compared to Ubuntu as
Debian is only upgraded after new features have been
thoroughly tested.
• Debian does not have a default desktop environment
and is therefore more lightweight than Ubuntu.
• Debian is a community-driven project, free of
centralized control so it is maintained by community
members and developed by programmers worldwide
while Ubuntu is developed and maintained by
Canonical but also has a strong community of users
that contribute to its development.
Creating and editing
files in Debian
•Creating a file in Debian is similar to creating a file in
Ubuntu since Cat commands can be used for both.
•Cat command in Debian can be when:
• Creating a text file
• Printing contents of a text file in your Terminal
• Printing contents of a text file to another text file
Adding the following command to the terminal creates
a file:
cat > "filename.txt"
Manipulation of
contents
• Manipulating files uses the same
commands as Ubuntu such as:
• Ls command to list files with all the
attachments included like –al.
• Piping uses the same "|" command and it
requires command piped to another
command.
• Cd commands to move from directories.
• "echo" commands used to input text
is used the same way as Ubuntu
