Debian Overview

Debian is a Free operating system created by the Debian Project.

Images Overview

There are two Debian releases available through the Linux-on-Android project: the testing branch, currently Debian 8.0 Jessie; and the original (for this project) Lenny release.

Debian Testing (Jessie)

The Core image is 1GiB extracted; includes a basic debian install with the OpenBox Window Manager. This image is a good base for building your own image files. See the note about selinux below.

The Small image is 2GiB extracted; includes the LXDE desktop and suite of programs.

The Large image is 4GB extracted; includes the KDE Plasma Desktop and LibreOffice. Note: The selinux-policy-default package is from Sid and not located in the Jessie repositories on the date of upload. This package is required for dbus compatibility with Android 4.3; dbus is required for KDE and XFCE4 among others.

How images are created

Debian Testing image files were created using debootstrap and qemu; as with all Debian based distros.
