The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system we created is called Debian GNU/Linux, or simply Debian for short.
An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating system is the kernel, which is the most fundamental program on the computer. The kernel does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other programs.
Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a software developed by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide.
A large part of the operating system's basic tools come from the GNU project, hence the names GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd. These tools are also free.
Of course, people want application software: programs that help them do what they want to do, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 20,000 packages (precompiled software bundled in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) — all free.
