4.13.1 General information

Linux and GNU/Linux are usually free, Unix-like multi-user operating systems based on the Linux kernel and es-
sentially on GNU software. The wide, also commercial distribution was made possible by the licensing of the Linux
kernel under the GPL starting in 1992.
The Linux-based Debian 9 operating system developed by B&R already contains all of the necessary drivers for
the devices and can be used immediately without additional work.
Advantages of Debian:
• High degree of stability
• Wide selection of packages
