Shipping CDs and DVDs in jewel cases would mean extra shipping costs, so paper sleeves are used instead. (Except Netinst/Businesscard, see below.) Empty jewel cases are available at your local record shop, computer or electronics store, and various other places. If you want, you can print artwork yourself.

Types of computers

Debian software is available for many different types of computers ("architectures"):

• i386: the 'ordinary' PC, processors ranging from the Intel 80386 up to the newest Pentium, Celeron, Xeon and Core, and compatibles like AMD K5 and up, Athlon-variants, and VIA C3 and up
• alpha: the 'Alpha' processors of first Digital Equipment Corp., then Compaq and now HP; read more...
• amd64: full 64-bit support for the newest 64-bit processors of (first) AMD with "AMD64" extensions, namely Athlon64 and Opteron, and (now also) Intel with "EM64T" extensions, namely new Xeon and Core 2. These processors can also be used as i386, but then only in 32-bit mode; read more...
• arm: the older variant for 'ARM' and 'StrongARM' processors (in Corel's NetWinder, various palmtop computers, etc.); read more...
• armel: the new little-endian EABI variant for modern 'ARMv4t' and 'ARMv5t' processors (in Linksys NSLU2, etc.); read more...
• hppa: the 'PA-RISC' processors of HP (in HP-UX workstations and some HP-UX servers); read more...
• ia64: Intel's 64-bit Itanium processors in some high-end systems, not sold much (so not the modern 64-bit Xeon and Core 2 processors with "EM64T" extensions, for those see amd64 above); read more...
• mips: the processors of MIPS, big-endian variant (in SGI Indy and Indigo2 workstations, etc.); read more...
• mipsel: the processors of MIPS, little-endian variant (in Digital DECstations, etc.); read more...
• powerpc: the 'PowerPC' processors, including G3/G4/G5, of Motorola/IBM (in Apple's PowerMac, iMac, Mac Mini, etc.); read more...
• s390: the S/390-series servers of IBM; read more...
• sparc: the 'Sparc' and 'UltraSparc' processors of Sun (in SPARCstation workstations, etc.); read more...

=> If your computer runs (or can run) Windows 95/98/200x/ME/XP/Vista, then i386 is suitable for it.

If you have a new "64-bits" computer, you could order amd64. But we still advise i386 because third-party software runs better on it (such as Flash, Adobe Reader, Java, Firefox plugins) and for many applications there is hardly any noticable difference in speed.

The source codes on the Source CDs and DVDs are architecture-independent and can be compiled anywhere.

For anything except i386, there usually are special requirements. Before ordering, please carefully study all information available via http://www.debian.org/ports.

What is on which CD and DVD?

The installable programs on the Binary CDs and DVDs is ordered by decreasing popularity. The source codes on the Source CDs and DVDs is sorted alphabetically. The DVDs have the same content as approximately 7 CDs.
To summarize:

(Not all types of computers have the same amount of CDs and DVDs; see the ordering form below.)

The exact contents of all CDs and DVDs can be found via the search function. Try for example "gnucash _i386" or "gnucash .tar" (without the quotes) to find i386-binary resp. source packages of gnucash. Mind the space between the search terms.

The Extras CDs and DVDs

First of all, the Extras CDs and DVDs contain often-used software from the Debian archive that is not included on any Official Binary CD and DVD. In general, this means software from the sections 'contrib' and 'non-free'. (So this provides the physical transmission that is required to set up this part of a Debian mirror.) Also, the "Marillat" archive of multimedia programs is included, as well as some non-Debian-specific software such as the "free edition" of WordPerfect 8 for Linux.

The remainder of the Extras CDs is filled with interesting software packages from the Binary-6 up to 32 CDs. The Extras DVDs are filled up with interesting software packages from the Binary-2 up to 5 DVDs. Software on these CDs and DVDs is hardly ever used, so practically nobody has any need for them. The very few interesting packages from these CDs and DVDs are included on the Extras CDs and DVDs. Together with the Binary-1 up to 5 CDs resp. the Binary-1 DVD, this forms an excellently usable combination.

The Netinst and Businesscard CDs

Especially for people who always want to carry Debian with them, there are three kinds of small-format CDs available. You can put these in your pocket (or wallet) much easier than normal CDs or DVDs, so you never have to leave them at home. Very handy when, during some party, someone suddenly asks you to "check that %#^* computer since you're here anyway"...

Netinst : A round 8-centimeter CD, bootable, from which you can install a very minimal Debian system on a harddrive. After that, you can take your time to sort out the network connection, and have all other Debian software downloaded. The largest part of the install happens via internet, hence the name of the CD.

Businesscard : A rectangular CD, as wide as a credit card but slightly higher. It is bootable, but doesn't hold any software that can be installed on a harddrive. If you want to install, a network connection must be available at that time. (So this method will actually get more software via internet than the "Netinst" CD; the naming is a bit confusing due to historical reasons.)

Live CD "Standard" flavor : A round 8-centimeter CD. See under "Live CDs" below.

Even though there is little or no installable software, the (pre-)install environment on the Netinst and Businesscard CDs is fully identical to that on the normal CDs and DVDs. So via the "expert" mode, you already have many tools available to check and possibly repair a computer that's been acting up, for example fdisk, dd and wget, but also an ssh client and even an ssh server.

You can order the Netinst 8cm-CD using the letter 'N' in the "Separate items" section at the bottom of this page, and the Businesscard using the letter 'B'. The Businesscard is a printable CD, that will by default get a simple text marking like all CDs and DVDs. But if you'd rather print it yourself, shipping it blank is possible as well. Just indicate your wishes using the comments facility on the next page.

Since cases and sleeves for these formats are hard to come by in regular stores, the Businesscard will be shipped with a plastic sleeve, and the Netinst CD with both a plastic sleeve and a slimcase. So there is always something that will fit your usage pattern.

NOTE: The Netinst and Businesscard CDs work only in CD/DVD drives with a tray, and usually not in slot-loading drives. These drives may damage the CDs, swallow them permanently and/or break down completely!

The Multi-Arch CDs and DVDs

The sequel to the Netinst CDs is meant for people who regularly encounter different types of computers and want to install Debian onto them. Instead of two or three Netinst CDs, a single standard-format CD may then be more practical. Such a Multi-Arch CD is bootable on three different types of computers ("architectures"), and is comparable to a Netinst CD for each of them. So using a Multi-Arch CD, you can install a very minimal Debian system on a harddrive, and then have the rest downloaded from the internet.

The Multi-Arch DVD is mostly meant to be distributed at conferences and trade shows, so that people do not need to think about what type of computer they have. The Multi-Arch DVD is bootable on the two most common types of computers (i386 and amd64), and contains the software of approximately two and a half CDs for each of them. Even without a network connection, this will allow the installation of a reasonably useful Debian environment.

Live CDs

Starting with Debian 5.0, several official "Live CD" flavors are available for i386 and amd64 computers. These CDs boot directly into a compact Debian environment which runs completely from the CD. Most hardware including network and video cards will be auto-detected, but expect some rough edges since the Live CDs are a relatively new development.

Six flavors of Live CDs are available:

GNOME : Graphical environment with the GNOME desktop.
KDE : Graphical environment with the KDE desktop.
LXDE : Graphical environment with the LXDE desktop.
XFCE : Graphical environment with the XFCE desktop.
Rescue : Text environment with many sysadmin programs.
Standard : 8-cm CD, quite minimal text environment.

For the purpose of repairing computers on location, the "Standard" flavor 8-cm CD provides some more functionality than the "Netinst" 8-cm CD. The "Rescue" flavor is a normal-size CD, and includes much additional software such as lynx/links/w3m, gcc/g++/make, mc, ssh, ppp/pppoe/pptp, dosfstools/ntfs-3g, tcpdump, and many others. Note that these programs are not available on any of the graphical desktop Live CDs, as these are meant purely for desktop use with software like iceweasel (firefox) and OpenOffice.org.

More information is available on live.debian.net and the Alioth page. For exact contents, see the .packages files for i386 and amd64.

You can order the Live CD flavors using the lettercodes 'LG', 'LK', 'LL', 'LX', 'LR' and 'LS' in the "Separate items" section at the bottom of this page.

NOTE: The "Standard" flavor 8-cm CDs work only in CD/DVD drives with a tray, and usually not in slot-loading drives. These drives may damage the CDs, swallow them permanently and/or break down completely!

Which CDs or DVDs do I need?

• If you want to install Debian: at least the Binary-1 CD or DVD.
• If you want all useful software: the Binary-1 up to 5 and Extras CDs; or the Binary-1 and Extras DVDs;
• If you also want all "useless" software: all other Binary CDs or DVDs.
• If you want to use Debian without installing: any Live CD desktop flavor.
• If people sometimes just ask you to repair their computer: a Netinst or Businesscard CD, or a Live CD "Standard" or "Rescue" flavor.
• If you are a programmer and like to play around with source code, but don't like to download the newest(!) source code from the internet every once in a while: also all Source CDs or DVDs. So: almost nobody has any real use for these!

Many users will compile a new kernel at some time, so the source code of the kernel is included on the Binary CDs and DVDs. You do not need any Source CD/DVD for this.

Our Prices

The prices for all possible orders are calculated automatically by the form below. A complete overview would be too big for this page, and also too complex because of the automatic discounts for large orders and the stepwise increasing shipping costs depending on the weight.

Two popular "standard sets" are on sale for a reduced price (the form also calculates this correctly). These special prices are valid only when shipping within the Netherlands.

"Starter - CD":   Official Binary-1 CD   + Official Binary-2 CD   + Official Binary-3 CD   + Official Binary-4 CD   + Official Binary-5 CD   + Unofficial Extras CD   incl. shipping, incl. VAT		EUR 9.50    -2.5%  *)
"Starter - DVD":   Official Binary-1 DVD   + Unofficial Extras DVD   incl. shipping, incl. VAT		EUR 14.75    -2.5%  *)

*) There is a 2.5% discount on all prices for customers who have done business with us before. This will be calculated automatically.

Payment

The order will only be shipped after payment has been received. This is possible in several ways:

Netherlands:

Within the Netherlands, you can pay in two ways:

1)	Send us cash money per regular ('snail') mail. This method is fast, but the postal service never guarantees delivery of anything (unless you pay them more).
2)	Transfer the payment to our bank account using the usual procedures. Note: this is not automatic payment, you'll need to initiate the transfer yourself. In some extreme cases (depending on the banks), it may take up to two weeks before a transfer arrives in our account.

Abroad:

For payments from abroad, there may also be two possibilities:

1)

Send us cash money (in euro coins/bank notes) per regular ('snail') mail. This usually takes less than 7 days.

2)

From countries within the Euro zone which have adjusted their financial regulations to match the European directives, the payment can also be transferred to our Dutch bank account using a cheap international transfer (namely "EuroBasis/SHA" with BIC and IBAN). Note: this usually requires filling in a special form available at your bank. The time taken by international transactions varies quite much, from several days to several weeks. Transfers without BIC/IBAN and from outside the Euro zone are unacceptable due to the very high costs (EUR 15+ for both sender and receiver).

In all cases: precise instructions (account numbers, addresses) will be given after the order has been placed.

Donations:

Everything you pay more than the calculated price will be regarded as donation. At least half of that will be transferred to the Debian project. The other half (or less) will be used by the DDDI to promote Debian in the Netherlands and/or Europe. If you want a different division, just say so via the comments facility on the next page.

Ordering

Ordering is easily done using our automated ordering system, in 7 small steps.

Note: by placing an order, you indicate that you agree with our "very limited warranty" regulations.

DISCOUNT:

If you have ordered from us before, enter the number of that order to get a 2.5% discount.

Also, your address information will be fetched from our archives and supplied as default options on the next page. If things have changed, you can easily adjust them.
