4.8.1 General information

Linux or GNU/Linux are usually free, UNIX-like multi-user operating systems based on the Linux kernel and fun-
damentally on GNU software. Wide (also commercial) distribution was made possible starting in 1992 by licensing
the Linux kernel under the GPL.
The Linux version created by B&R is based on Debian 9. It already contains all the drivers required for the respective
device and can therefore be used immediately without any additional effort.
Advantages of Debian:
• High stability
• Large package selection
For more information about Debian, see http://www.debian.org.
