Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 18733 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Debian is the distro. from which the original Ubuntu 4.10 comes (Debian Sarge) however in latter releases Ubuntu is as far removed from Debian as it could be although still sharing the same DEB package management system the two are almost entirely incompatible. I recall working with Ubuntu 6.10 and Ubuntu 7.04 where Debian packages could easily be patched. The same cannot be said of today. Despite this Canonical still claim Debian to be a close relation
