Types of computers
There exist many different types of computers that can not use each other's software. Debian software is available for the following types of computers ("architectures"), first the most popular:
| amd64 |
All current desktop and laptop PCs since ca. 2004, using
64-bit processors by AMD with "AMD64" extensions, namely
since Athlon64 and Opteron,
and also Intel with "EM64T"/"Intel 64" extensions,
namely Xeon and Core 2 and higher.
Also Apple "Intel" Macs and MacBooks from 2006 until fall 2020. |
|
Further, Debian software is also available for several
architectures that are used less often:
| |
| armhf |
ARM processors in the little-endian EABI variant with
hardware floating-point operations,
in ARMv7, ARM Cortex-Ax, TI OMAP3xxx, Freescale iMX5,
and higher.
For example various tablets and smartphones, embedded devices, Raspberry Pi-2, BeagleBone. Read more... |
| arm64 |
ARM processors with
64-bit AArch64 / A64 support: ARMv8-A and higher, Cortex-A34 and higher.
For example various recent tablets and smartphones, Raspberry Pi-3/4. Read more... With some handiwork also usable on Apple Silicon M1 and M2, ca. 2020 - 2023. |
| ppc64el |
The 'PowerPC' processors by IBM, specifically POWER8 and POWER9,
with 64-bit support.
For example IBM "Power Systems" high-end servers. Note: Can not be used on PowerPC Mac computers (PowerMac). Read more... |
| riscv64 |
The open-source RISC architecture, fifth generation,
with 64-bits support.
Mostly single-board systems, such as from StarFive, SiFive. Read more... |
| s390x |
IBM "System z" mainframes, within the usual virtualisation,
with 64-bit support.
Read more... |
This means all desktop and laptop PCs, since ca. 2004.
=> If your computer is a Mac or MacBook from 2006 up to fall 2020 (Intel processor), then amd64 is suitable for it.
For everything except amd64, there usually are special requirements. Before ordering, please carefully study all information available via http://www.debian.org/ports.
The source codes on the Source DVDs and Blurays are architecture-independent and can be compiled anywhere.
Special attention: i386 and armel
Since Debian 13, i386 and armel are not fully supported any longer. No DVDs, Blurays and USB-sticks are available for that reason.
In case you currently have an i386
system installed,
then it is advised to do a completely new install using the
Debian 13 amd64 installer.
When your computer can not run that, there is unfortunately no solution
available.
On i386,
be sure to not upgrade to Debian 13,
because as far as that is still available in Debian 13,
it will only run on 64-bit capable processors (SSE3 extension).
From Debian 13 onwards, i386
is only meant to be used within an
amd64 system
to run 32-bit applications that do not originate from Debian.
In case you currently have an armel system installed, you can do an online upgrade to Debian 13. New installations are not supported any more.
For more information, see the Release Notes.
Installer DVDs and Blurays
On Installer DVD-1 and Bluray-1, the installation starter is included. For amd64, you can directly boot from them; both BIOS and EFI supported, PC and Mac. For other architectures, some special actions will usually be required to get the installation starter running, as described in the corresponding Installation Manual.
Further, installable software packages are available on the Installer DVDs and Blurays, ordered by decreasing popularity. On DVD-1 resp. Bluray-1, the most popular software packages are included. Then on DVD-2, somewhat less popular software; etc. The last DVDs and Blurays are mainly filled with specialty software concerning for example academic use, computational biology, astromony, and so on. On a Bluray disc, the same software is available as on approximately 5 DVDs, equally ordered by popularity.
DVDs / Blurays can be used in any combination, and you certainly do not need to order the full set. Actually, all software can be automatically downloaded from the internet, whenever it is not included on the DVDs/Blurays that you have available. Most users will find that the DVD-1 plus DVD-2 set is excellently usable, or Bluray-1 of course.
The exact contents of all DVDs and Blurays can be found via the search tool.
Installer USB sticks
The Installer USB sticks are simply copies of Installer DVD-1 resp. Bluray-1. They are directly bootable on PC and Mac, possibly after enabling that in BIOS/UEFI setup.
We supply "regular" good quality USB sticks. You can re-use them by partitioning and formatting them as you desire.
Live-Desktop DVDs and USB sticks
Several "Live" DVD flavors are available for amd64 computers. These DVDs will boot directly into a compact Debian environment which runs completely from the DVD. The computer's harddrive will not be used at all. Most hardware including network and video cards will be auto-detected, but expect some rough edges for the very newest hardware.
Here also, the Live-Desktop USB sticks are identical to DVDs.
Nine flavors of Live DVDs are available, namely containing the seven most popular graphical environments, and another one containing a textual console environment ("Standard"). There is also the "Junior" flavor: suitable for children from 2 to 12 years old, with the easy IceWM graphical environment, and numerous games and educational software directly usable.
When the computer is connected to a network, additional software packages can be downloaded and installed immediately from the internet into the running Live system. Since this happens entirely inside the working memory of the computer, it will be gone after a reboot.
More information is available here. For exact contents, see the .packages files.
Firmware, a.k.a. WiFi
Many WiFi chips that enable access to wireless networks, require loadable firmware that is supplied by the manufacturer but can not be inspected or changed. Since Debian 12, this firmware is included on all official Debian Installer and Live media, as a service to users.
However, not all WiFi chips can be supported by Linux, since not all manufacturers wish to cooperate. In such cases, a USB WiFi dongle may be useful.
Debian Edu ("Skolelinux")
Debian Edu offers a variant containing a fully automated installer for servers, workstations and laptops in schools and other educational institutions. This means preselected options in the installer, preselected packages to be installed, including suitable configuration. For teachers or assistants, this makes it very easy to set up and administer a school network.
The Edu Bluray and Edu USB-stick are all-inclusive and offer full installation without any internet access required.
"Netinst" Install-Starter variants
Two limited-content DVDs are available to start specific installs, which will then continue using online downloads:
- Netinst MacMini2,1 is bootable on Mac Mini 2,1 computers, specifically A1176 model with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, ca. 2007-2009. Because of bugs, these will not boot from the regular installer DVDs. More information here.
- Netinst Edu is a DVD to start the Edu installer, intended for computers that do not have a Bluray drive but do have a good internet connection.
Source
The Source DVDs/Blurays contain all compilable source code that was used to create the installable packages on the Installer media. During daily use of a Debian system, this source code is absolutely useless. It is made available mainly to comply with license terms of the GNU General Public License and variants.
Programmers that like to work with source code are better advised to use source packages from the Debian "unstable" online archive, since that is where the newest development occurs and cooperation is highly appreciated.
Source code packages on the Source DVDs/Blurays are sorted alphabetically, from "a" on Source DVD-1 up to "z" on Source DVD-22. This does not match Installer media that have packages sorted from highest to lowest popularity. To know which Source or Installer DVD contains any particular package, a search function is available.
"What do I actually need?"
- If you want to install Debian: the installation can be started from Installer DVD-1 or Bluray-1, or the USB stick versions of these.
- If you want all useful software: our advice is using Installer DVD-1 and DVD-2.
- If you also want all "useless" software: all other Installer DVDs or Blurays.
- If you want to use Debian without installing: any Live-Desktop DVD or USB stick.
- If you want to install a school network: a Debian Edu variant.

Payment
The order will only be produced and shipped after payment has been received. Paying is possible in several ways:
Netherlands:
Within the Netherlands, you can pay in two ways:| 1) | Send us cash money by regular ('snail') mail. Postal services never guarantee correct and timely delivery of anything, unless you pay them more. |
| 2) | Transfer the payment to our bank account via the usual procedures. Note: this is not iDeal or automatic payment, you will need to initiate the transfer yourself. |
Abroad:
For payments from abroad, the same two possibilities apply:| 1) | Send us cash money in euro coins and bank notes by regular ('snail') mail. This usually takes less than a week. |
| 2) |
From countries within the Euro zone that have adjusted their financial
regulations to match European directives, payment can also be
transferred to our Dutch bank account using a cheap IBAN international
transfer.
It may take up to a week before a bank transfer arrives in our account.
Transfers without IBAN and from outside the Euro zone are unacceptable due to the very high costs (EUR 15+ for both sender and receiver). |
In all cases: detailed instructions, account numbers and addresses, will be given after you have placed the order. Note that you have no payment obligation whatsoever; if you do not pay, we will not ship.
Donations:
Everything you pay more than the calculated price, will be regarded as donation. At least half of that will be transferred to the Debian project. The other half (or less) will be used by the DDDI to promote Debian in the Netherlands and/or Europe. If you want a different division, just place a remark on the next page.
Order processing and shipping
We stock only blank media, and will start producing your order after we have received your payment. For reasons of efficiency, we will usually process orders in clusters, often in one session per week. So the estimated shipping time will be about a week after we have received and confirmed your payment. For destinations abroad, there will be additional transit time of multiple days.
When you really can not wait for your order to arrive, tell us via the remarks form on the next page. We will try to give you the best service possible.
Ordering
Ordering is easily done using our automated ordering system, in 7 small steps.
Note: by placing an order, you indicate that you agree with our "very limited warranty" regulations.
