<p>There are a number of distributions based on Debian. Some users might want to take a look at these distributions <em>in addition to</em> the official Debian releases. This is done for a number of reasons (better localization support, specific hardware support, simplified installation, etc.).</p> <p>Debian welcomes and encourages organisations that want to develop new distributions based on Debian. However, in the spirit of Debian's <a href="$(HOME)/social_contract">social contract</a>, we ask them to contribute their work to the main distribution so that ultimately, all users can benefit from improvements.</p> <p>The following distributions are based on Debian (in alphabetical order, not chronological).
