Debian is one of the oldest operating systems based on the [[Linux kernel]] and, as of September 2023, the second oldest Linux distribution still in active development, only behind [[Slackware]]. The project is coordinated over the [[Internet]] by a team of volunteers guided by the [[List of Debian project leaders|Debian Project Leader]] and three foundational documents: the [[Debian Social Contract]], the Debian Constitution, and the [[Debian Free Software Guidelines]]. New distributions are updated continually, and the next candidate is released after a time-based [[Freeze (software engineering)|freeze]].
