AboutWhat is DebianArt?DebianArt is a project in Debian Desktop. Is a place for high quality artwork and themes for the Debian Desktop. The idea is use the website for contests, creating an archive of user contributed artwork that can be freely used and included in upcoming Debian releases. What We Do? - Serve as a design firm for the Debian community, creating artwork and designs to for the Debian community on request - Provide resources (tutorials, art assets, advice) and encouragement for the use of the FOSS creative tools available in Debian, under open licenses to demonstrate the importance of the application of FOSS ideas to creative content; using FOSS tools in the creation of our artwork so it serves as a showcase for those tools; - Make it easy for ‘creative contributors’ to contribute to the Debian project.

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.
