9 Debian (GNU/Linux)
9.1 General information
A Linux or GNU/Linux system is an open, Unix-like multiuser operating system based on the Linux kernel and GNU
software. Widespread use and commercial applications were made possible starting in 1992 with the licensing of
the Linux kernel under the GPL.
The Debian 6.0 operating system developed by B&R already contains all of the necessary drivers for the devices
and can be used immediately without additional work.
Advantages of Debian:
•
High degree of stability
•
Wide selection of packages
•
Suitable packages with real-time kernels already available
