Bug#783670: www.debian.org: Update w.d.o/misc/children-distros web page
I went through the children-distros.wml file and (I think) updated all
the entries correctly. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
#use wml::debian::template title="Software distributions based on Debian" BARETITLE=true
<p>There are a number of distributions based on Debian. Some users
might want to take a look at these distributions <em>in addition to</em> the
official Debian releases. This is done for a number of reasons (better
localization support, specific hardware support, simplified installation,
etc.).</p>
<p>Debian welcomes and encourages organisations that want to develop
new distributions based on Debian. However,
in the spirit of Debian's <a href="$(HOME)/social_contract">social
contract</a>, we ask them to contribute their work to the main distribution
so that ultimately, all users can benefit from improvements.</p>
<p>The following distributions are based on Debian (in alphabetical order,
not chronological). This list is far from complete and might be out of date,
if you find inaccurate data, want to contribute information or add
a distribution not listed here
please <a href="$(HOME)/contact#infrastructure">contact us</a>.
</p>
<p><em>Note</em>: we also have a
<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census";>census page</a>
in the Debian Wiki, to gather detailed information about Debian derivatives.
</p>
<p><em>Note</em>: for more detailed information of these distributions
including release dates, contents and reviews, please visit <url

<h2><a name="corel">Corel Linux</a></h2>
<p>Corel developed a distribution based on Debian bundled with its
WordPerfect and other Corel software. Corel chose Debian because
<q>...it offers an excellent fit with the company's existing
customer base and Linux mission. Debian has a solid charter, a strong
worldwide developer base and a thorough testing period</q> as
described in its
# http://www.corel.com/news/1999/may/may_1999_faqs.htm
FAQ (no longer available).
It was released in <a href="$(HOME)/News/weekly/1999/44/">November
1999</a>, after a few public <a
href="http://old.lwn.net/1999/features/CorelLinux/";>betas</a>. This
opened some discussion due to the fact that Corel had elected KDE
for its GUI, and KDE license issues were not yet solved within
Debian. Three different editions were published from 1999 to the end
of the year 2000. However, in the year 2001 it <a
href="http://www3.corel.com/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/AppLogic+FTContentServer?pagename=Corel/PressRelease/Details&id=ZZZZ8DJU78T";>announced</a>
its intention to spin off the Linux distribution.
</p>
<p>Corel Linux was available from http://linux.corel.com/.
Users wishing to upgrade to newer Debian releases can use, as a guideline,
the <a href="$(HOME)/News/weekly/2000/25/mail#2">Corel to Debian
micro-howto</a> published in Debian support mailing lists.
</p>
<p>However, afterwards it was licensed to a new company called
Xandros Corporation <url "http://www.xandros.net/"; /> (see the <a
href="http://www3.corel.com/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/AppLogic+FTContentServer?pagename=Corel/PressRelease/Details&id=ZZZZ8DJU86H";>press

installation, disk partitioning or any related issues, since it works
from a bootable CD-ROM. Demolinux includes the GNOME and KDE

emphasises ease-of-use, ease-of-install and, thanks to Debian and apt,
ease-of-updating. In such, it is a hybrid: the usefulness of a regular
livecd, and a dependable way to get a Debian install on your
harddisk. It does contain certain non-free drivers (nvidia driver),
which can be chosen at boottime, but these can be disabled for full
Debian compliance.
</p>
<p>Besides the custom-made opensource installer, the people behind
Morphix are active on creating a number of extra tools and
applications to increase the usefulness of Morphix for newer
users. These tools are also licensed under the GPL.

<h2><a name="ucs">Univention Corporate Server</a></h2>
<p><a href="http://www.univention.de/";>UCS</a> is a standardized and
easy to operate Linux-Solution that includes an extensive management
system besides the actual operating system which is based on
Debian. With this identity- and infrastructure-management-system UCS
provides, besides its standard services, every important function to
manage smaller and larger IT-environments. It fits perfectly into
existing systems and is extendable with a great number of certified
applications (groupware, backup, fax, network-monitoring,
virtualization etc.) by different producers.
