FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DebCentral.org launches users group for Debian based distributions

Abilene, TX – The DebCentral team is proud to announce the official 
launch of DebCentral.org, the first online community dedicated to both 
Debian GNU/Linux, and the many derivative distributions it has spawned. 
DebCentral's goal is to provide a place where users of any Debian based 
or derivative distributions can come together for news, support, 
collaboration, and to exchange views and information with each other. We 
are aiming to provide a place that is welcoming to users, 
administrators, and developers of all levels. No matter if you have just 
recently moved to a Debian style distro, or you are a highly experienced 
guru, you will be more than welcome at DebCentral.org.

DebCentral was originally conceived to bring the spirit of cooperation 
shown by the members of the DCC (Debian Core Consortium) to the many 
users and administrators who depend on and love these distros. It has 
been founded by volunteer users of several distros including users of 
Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, MEPIS, Kanotix, Knoppix, and more. We actively 
look for new people willing to help out in all areas, from forum posting 
and moderation, to writing and researching our own original articles as 
well as news from around the world of Debian-centric distros and 
software, to helping to promote and grow our own community as well as 
their chosen distributions.

“Too often, we have seen people working in ways that are 
counter-productive to promoting cooperation and sharing among Debian 
based distributions” said Josh King, Project Leader for DebCentral. “We 
will begin the work to change that. Yes, there are differences among the 
distros, but when the users, administrators, and developers who depend 
on this incredible software begin to learn from each other and work 
together, everyone stands to gain.”

If you are interested in contributing to and promoting the world of 
Debian-centric software stop by http://debcentral.org and join the 
community.
