Debian is well-known for its [package management system]?, apt, which allows a relatively painless upgrade from really old versions of Debian and nearly effortless installs of new packages.
The Debian system exists in three branches at different stages of development: stable, testing, and unstable. These are named after characters from the movie [Toy Story]?. In August 2001 stable is "potato" and testing is "woody". Unstable is always named "sid".
Debian is also the name of the group of developers who mantain, package and distribute the Debian system. The Debian project is support by donations provided through [Software in the Public Interest]? (http://www.spi-inc.org/), a non-profit organization.
The name Debian comes from the names of its founder, Ian Murdock, and his wife, Debra.
