Debian logo.

Debian is a Linux distribution on which many other distributions (such as Ubuntu) are based. It uses GNOME as a desktop environment by default, but other desktops such as KDE, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon, LXDE and LXQT can also be used. For further information visit Debian on Wikipedia.

On 30th August 2024, OWG announced that OSM servers had been migrated to Debian 12 Bookworm after 18 years of Ubuntu.

As of 27 December 2024, the current stable version is Debian 12.8 Bookworm, the testing version is called Trixie, and the unstable version (a.k.a. rolling upgrade version, with more up-to-date package versions) is called Sid; the name of the Unstable version never changes.

Software

Many packages related to OpenStreetMap can be found in the official Debian repositories. The DebianGis project provides a list of the Debian GIS Openstreetmap packages.
