Debian 12.5.0 DVD (DVD #1 only) (AMD64)

"bookworm" will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.

Following the 2022 General Resolution about non-free firmware, we have introduced a new archive area making it possible to separate non-free firmware from the other non-free packages: non-free-firmware - Most non-free firmware packages have been moved from non-free to non-free-firmware. This separation makes it possible to build a variety of official installation images.

Debian 12 "bookworm" ships with several desktop environments, such as: Gnome 43, KDE Plasma 5.27, LXDE 11, LXQt 1.2.0, MATE 1.26, Xfce 4.18

This release contains over 11,089 new packages for a total count of 64,419 packages, while over 6,296 packages have been removed as "obsolete". 43,254 packages were updated in this release. The overall disk usage for "bookworm" is 365,016,420 kB (365 GB), and is made up of 1,341,564,204 lines of code.

Debian 12 "bookworm" includes numerous updated software packages (over 67% of all packages from the previous release), such as: Apache 2.4.57, BIND DNS Server 9.18, Cryptsetup 2.6, Dovecot MTA 2.3.19, Emacs 28.2, Exim (default email server) 4.96, GIMP 2.10.34, GNU Compiler Collection 12.2, GnuPG 2.2.40, Inkscape 1.2.2, The GNU C Library 2.36, lighthttpd 1.4.69, LibreOffice 7.4, Linux kernel 6.1 series, LLVM/Clang toolchain 13.0.1, 14.0 (default), and 15.0.6, MariaDB 10.11, Nginx 1.22, OpenJDK 17, OpenLDAP 2.5.13, OpenSSH 9.2p1, Perl 5.36, PHP 8.2, Postfix MTA 3.7, PostgreSQL 15, Python 3, 3.11.2, Rustc 1.63, Samba 4.17, systemd 252, Vim 9.0

With this broad selection of packages and its traditional wide architecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of being "The Universal Operating System". It is suitable for many different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web, and storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages in Debian's archive ensure that "bookworm" fulfills the high expectations that users have of a stable Debian release.

32-bit PC (i386) no longer covers any i586 processor; the new minimum processor requirement is i686. If your machine is not compatible with this requirement, it is recommended that you stay with bullseye for the remainder of its support cycle.

Between releases, the Technical Committee resolved that Debian "bookworm" should support only the merged-usr root filesystem layout, dropping support for the non-merged-usr layout. For systems installed as buster or bullseye there will be no changes to the filesystem; however, systems using the older layout will be converted during the upgrade.

After 2 years, 1 month, and 9 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 11 (code name "bullseye"), which will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.

Debian 11 "bullseye" ships with several desktop applications and environments. Amongst others it now includes the desktop environments: Gnome 3.38, KDE Plasma 5.20, LXDE 11, LXQt 0.16, MATE 1.24, Xfce 4.16.

This release contains over 11,294 new packages for a total count of 59,551 packages, along with a significant reduction of over 9,519 packages which were marked as "obsolete" and removed. 42,821 packages were updated and 5,434 packages remained unchanged. "bullseye" becomes our first release to provide a Linux kernel with support for the exFAT filesystem and defaults to using it for mount exFAT filesystems. Consequently it is no longer required to use the filesystem-in-userspace implementation provided via the exfat-fuse package. Tools for creating and checking an exFAT filesystem are provided in the exfatprogs package. Most modern printers are able to use driverless printing and scanning without the need for vendor specific (often non-free) drivers. "bullseye" brings forward a new package, ipp-usb, which uses the vendor neutral IPP-over-USB protocol supported by many modern printers. This allows a USB device to be treated as a network device. The official SANE driverless backend is provided by sane-escl in libsane1, which uses the eSCL protocol.

Debian 11 "bullseye" includes numerous updated software packages (over 72% of all packages in the previous release), such as: Apache 2.4.48, BIND DNS Server 9.16, Calligra 3.2, Cryptsetup 2.3, Emacs 27.1, GIMP 2.10.22, GNU Compiler Collection 10.2, GnuPG 2.2.20, Inkscape 1.0.2, LibreOffice 7.0, Linux kernel 5.10 series, MariaDB 10.5, OpenSSH 8.4p1, Perl 5.32, PHP 7.4, PostgreSQL 13, Python 3, 3.9.1, Rustc 1.48, Samba 4.13, Vim 8.2, more than 59,000 other ready-to-use software packages, built from more than 30,000 source packages.

With this broad selection of packages and its traditional wide architecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of being "The Universal Operating System". It is suitable for many different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web, and storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages in Debian's archive ensure that "bullseye" fulfills the high expectations that users have of a stable Debian release.

After 25 months of development the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 10 (code name "buster"), which will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and of the Debian Long Term Support team.

With this broad selection of packages and its traditional wide architecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of being the universal operating system. It is suitable for many different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web and storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages in Debian's archive ensure that "buster" fulfills the high expectations that users have of a stable Debian release.

Debian Live DVD notes - AMD64/64-bit targets - these are DVDs/USB where you can boot direct to the desktop using the named Dekstop/Window Manager/environment. The Standard boots to a shell prompt - great for an experienced individual to do repairs/access other media/etc.

This new release of Debian again comes with a lot more software than its predecessor jessie; the distribution includes over 15346 new packages, for a total of over 51687 packages. Most of the software in the distribution has been updated: over 29859 software packages (this is 57% of all packages in jessie). Also, a significant number of packages (over 6739, 13% of the packages in jessie) have for various reasons been removed from the distribution. You will not see any updates for these packages and they will be marked as "obsolete" in package management front-ends; see Section 4.8, "Obsolete packages".
