Linux is one of the biggest technical projects the world has ever seen. Since 2005, over 14,000 individual developers have contributed code to the project. In fact, it is so big that in 2003, Wired magazine speculated that it could be the biggest collaborative project in human history!

Debian is one of the most popular Linux distros around today, and it is known for its stability and reliability. In fact, it is the second-oldest active distro!
