This Linux software is a simple and desktop-focused distribution derived from Ubuntu. It is characterized by its minimalist design and streamlined interface.
Debris Linux follows a policy of providing only one application per task, which keeps things clean and concise. Despite owning numerous features, the software is still compact, with the ISOs for stable releases under 200MB, and it can be run efficiently on older hardware. The software also seeks to provide only free (libre) applications to avoid any licensing issues, but it offers ways to access the commonly used "non-free" stuff.
The software is based on Ubuntu and follows its release cycle closely, which makes it fully compatible with Ubuntu's releases. You can use any Ubuntu package with Debris Linux, and it has a small repository of customized applications and tools of its own.
The Debris Linux team consists entirely of volunteers, with Renegat3 as the main developer. The team does not demand any money or rewards, but if you enjoy their work, you can choose to donate.
Debris Linux offers an array of essential software such as GNOME desktop, AbiWord word processor (with ODF import/export and PDF export), Gnumeric spreadsheet (with ODF import/export), Evolution Groupware/PIM, ePDFViewer document viewer, GQView image viewer, Audacious media player, Firefox (with Gnash for Flash support), Evolution E-Mail client, Pidgin Instant Messaging/Chat, gFTP FTP client, gParted partition manager, NetworkManager network manager, Firestarter firewall manager, NDISwrapper MS driver usage, Leafpad GUI editor, JOE CLI editor, custom Linux Kernel that enables you to use a wide variety of hardware, custom Installer DebI, and a Save Settings Script that lets you save your settings while using the LiveCD.
