The page is intentionally biased for newbies. If someone already knows
what Debian is about, they wouldn't be reading it. :)
Every site should include information that covers the 5 W's (and one
H): who, what, where, when, why and how. It doesn't need a lot of
detail, but should give be inclusive and point to where more detailed
information can be found. It is to be expected that information will
be duplicated. The introduction will do exactly that, introduce. The
pages it links will give more detailed explanations.
