CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Today computers can be found in almost every government office, company, school, or even household. The rapid development of computer technology, especially in the software field, making the computer to be more user friendly and have made it a requirement for a specific community, such as businesses. In doing their work is highly dependent on computers. Computers are no longer just used as a substitute for typewriters or calculators, but is now also widely used to help make important decisions. As a result, the stored information requires safeguards to protect against access to people who are not entitled.
1.2 Purpose and Intent
Purpose and The Purpose of thisare :
- To understand the history ofLinux and its developmentespecially in Debian Distro.
- To understand and be able to install Linux Distro Debiansystem.
- The Personal Computer (PC) and the Notebook.
- Can menstetting network on Linux systems

HISTORY LINUX DEBIAN
2.1 Understanding Linux Debian
Debian is a free operating systemdeveloped openly by many volunteerprogrammers (developers of Debian) incorporated in the Debian Project. Debianoperating system is a combination ofsoftware developed by the GNU license, and primarily use the Linux kernel, so it is popularly known as Debian GNU / Linux. Debian operating system using the Linuxkernel is one of the most popular Linux distributions with stability. Taking into account the Debian-based distros, likeUbuntu, Xubuntu, Knoppix, Mint, and so on, then Debian is a Linux distribution in theworld's most widely used.
2.2 History Linux Debian
Debian was first introduced by Ian Murdock, a student from Purdue University, USA, on August 16, 1993. Debian name comes from the combination of the name of Ian with ex-girlfriend Debra Lynn: Deb and Ian.
At first, Ian began by modifying the distribution of SLS (Softlanding Linux System). However, he was not satisfied with the SLS that has been modified by him that he found a better build system (a Linux distribution) from zero (in this case, Patrick Volkerding also tried to modify the SLS. He succeeds and distribution known as "Slackware").
Debian Project grew slowly at first and released version 0.9x in 1994 and 1995. Diversion to other than i386 architecture began in 1995. Version 1.x began in 1996.
In 1996, Bruce Perens replaces Ian Murdoch as Project Leader. In the same year the debian developer Ean Schuessler, took the initiative to form the Debian Social Contract and Debian Free Software Guidelines, provide basic standards of commitment to the development of Debian distribution. He also formed the organization "Software in the Public Interest" to overshadow the debian legal and law.
In late 2000, the project to make changes in the debian archive and release management. And the same year the developers begin the annual conference and workshop "debconf".
At the April 8, 2007, Debian GNU / Linux 4.0 released with code name "Etch". Debian releases latest version 2009, code-named "Lenny". Debian releases latest version 2009, code-named "Lenny". deb is the extension of the Debian software package format and the name most commonly used for binary packages that way.
Debian package is a standard Unix archives that include two gzipped, bzipped or lzmaed tar archives: one that holds the control information and other data. Canonical program to deal with these packages is dpkg, most often via apt / aptitude.
Some of the core is available as a Debian package udebs ("micro deb"), and is usually only used to bootstrap Debian Linux installation. Although the file using the file name extension udeb, they adhere to the same specifications as usual structures deb.
However, unlike their counterparts deb, only the packages udeb functionally important files. In particular, the documentation file is usually omitted. udeb package can not be installed on a standard Debian system.
Debian package is also used in Debian-based distributions, such as Ubuntu and others. Currently, there have been dozens of Linux distributions based on the Debian, one of the most prominent and the phenomenon is Ubuntu.
2.3 Excess and Shortage
2.3.1 Disadvantages operating system debian
1. Friendly Admin
Admin is meant is "SystemAdministrator" (sysadmin), that person is responsible forthe stability and security ofthe server computer.
2. User Friendly
At first OS Linux is known as the OS Server, not the OSDesktop. Along with the development of Linux users, the more OS Linux that further enhance the "user comfort" without sacrificingperformance, stability andsecurity. For example, OSMandrake Linux (Redhat based), or OS Xandros Linux(based on Debian), etc.. Of course, the OS Debian Linuxalso experienced the sameevolution.
3. Hardware Friendly
Often a "feature" cutting edge of an OS will be costly tosupport hardware that is very "posh". And if an OS optimizedperformance, can run onhardware that may be quite long. For example, the OSLibranet Linux 2.8.1, the minimum hardware is an IntelPentium 100 processor, 64 MB RAM, and a 4GB hard driveruangkosong. While the OSDebian Linux 3.1, the OSDesktop Intel PentiumProcessor required at least100, 64 MB RAM, and 3GB ofhard drive space.
4. Achitecture Indipendent
Debian beginning to run onmultiple processors, up to the latest release of Debian can run on 11 processorarchitectures, namelyInteli386/i486/i586, Alpha, serif;">IA-64, Motorola 68k,MIPS, PA-RISC, PowerPC,Sparc (and UltraSparc), IBMS/390, and Hitachi SuperH.
