Debian GNU/Linux administration, Debian Live exclusive features
Debian is a Linux distribution composed of free and open-source software, developed by the community-supported Debian Project,
which was established by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. The first version of Debian (0.01) was released on
September 15, 1993, and its first stable version (1.1) was released on June 17, 1996. The Debian Stable branch is the most
popular edition for personal computers and servers. Debian is one of the oldest operating systems based on the Linux kernel.
The project is coordinated over the Internet by a team of volunteers guided by the Debian Project Leader and three
foundational documents: the Debian Social Contract, the Debian Constitution, and the Debian Free Software Guidelines
(from Wikipedia article). SNC Delivest Office Works Suite
documentation includes comprehensive administration guide called "Debian Reference", which could be accessed by
clicking main menu entry "SNC Delivest - Manuals - GnuLinux Debian Reference".
Debian Live OS (operating system) is an operating system we
can boot from USB disk or flash key without installing, after reboot the system will remain immutable, in its original state,
a clean operating system. Any change we do, any additional software we install or file we create will disappear after reboot.
Additional configurations of persistence disk partition allow as selectivelycontrol, which our data is staying across, reboots
of the system and which is never stored and exposed to outside world. Debian Live is based on combination of
SquashFS and OverlayFS, which is extremely resistant to malware attacks, as they are individually configured per user
and distribution update. Detailed
User Manual of Debian Live Project produced Debian based live systems is available online.
Midnight Commander file manager
Midnight Commander is a feature rich full-screen text mode application
that allows you to copy, move and delete files and whole directory trees, search for files and run commands in the subshell.
Midnight Commander's features include the ability to view the contents of RPM package files, to work with common archive
formats as if they were simply another directory, and to function as an FTP or FISH client. Midnight Commander also includes
an editor called mcedit, which can be executed as a standalone program or from Midnight Commander using the F4 key.
mcedit's features include syntax highlighting for many languages, macros, code snippets, simple integration with external
tools, automatic indentation, mouse support, a clipboard and the ability to work in both ASCII and hex modes. Users also
have the option to replace mcedit with the editor of their choice (Options Menu>Configuration>[Don't] Use Internal Edit).
Lynx text mode browser
Lynx is a customizable text-based web browser
for use on cursor-addressable character cell terminals. As of 2023, it is the oldest web browser still being maintained,
having started in 1992. It has exclusive privacy features - because Lynx does not support graphics, web bugs that track
user information are not fetched, meaning that web pages can be read without the privacy concerns of graphic web browsers.
However, Lynx does support HTTP cookies, which can also be used to track user information. Lynx therefore supports cookie
whitelisting and blacklisting, or alternatively cookie support can be disabled permanently.
NeoMutt e-mail client
NeoMutt is a command line mail reader based on Mutt, text-based email client for
Unix-like systems. It supports most mail storing formats (notably both mbox and Maildir) and protocols (POP3, IMAP, etc.).
It also includes MIME support, notably full PGP/GPG and S/MIME integration. NeoMutt is fully integrated with
Autocrypt standard, which provides easy to use,
individual, passive protection against data collection. Keys are distributed via an Autocrypt header added to emails, and
user needs no extra actions to have fully encrypted e-mail correspondence - no need for paid certificates or any
centralised authorization servers.
