Release history. Debian 1.0 was never released as a vendor accidentally shipped a development release with that version number. The package management system dpkg and its front-end dselect were developed and implemented on Debian in a previous release. A transition from the a.out binary format to the ELF binary format had already begun before the planned 1.0 release.
Raspbian is the Foundation’s official supported operating system. You can install it with NOOBS or download the image below and follow our installation guide.
Raspbian comes pre-installed with plenty of software for education, programming and general use. It has Python, Scratch, Sonic Pi, Java and more.
The Raspbian with Desktop image contained in the ZIP archive is over 4GB in size, which means that these archives use features which are not supported by older unzip tools on some platforms. If you find that the download appears to be corrupt or the file is not unzipping correctly, please try using 7Zip (Windows) or The Unarchiver (Macintosh). Both are free of charge and have been tested to unzip the image correctly.

You might be in a situation where you have a sytem with an old Debian version that has reached end of life, like Etch, Sarge, Woody, etc., and a distribution upgrade is not an option for you (maybe because you have customized the system so much that you fear breaking the system by doing a distribution upgrade). The 'normal' repositories for these old versions do not exist anymore, which means you cannot install new software or update existing packages using apt. This tutorial shows how you can modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to still get packages for your old Debian version using apt.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
Please don't get me wrong - I don't want to promote not upgrading your Debian system to the latest stable version - in fact, I do recommend to do this.! But sometimes life isn't just as easy as that, and there might be situations where an upgrade is not an option. For situations like these I provide this tutorial.
2 Modifying /etc/apt/sources.list
After a Debian version has reached EOL (end of life), its repositories go to the Debian archive. Therefore we can use this archive to get packags for our distribution. The syntax for our /etc/apt/sources.list is as follows:
So for Debian Etch, you'd comment out all other repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following lines:
Run
afterwards to update the packages database.
If you get an error like
just install the debian-archive-keyring package...
... and run
again.
