<a id="idm1228101588" class="indexterm"></a> <a id="idm1222978596" class="indexterm"></a> Many Linux distributions are derivatives of Debian and reuse Debian's package management tools. They all have their own interesting properties, and it is possible one of them will fulfill your needs better than Debian itself.

The Debian project fully acknowledges the importance of derivative distributions and actively supports collaboration between all involved parties. This usually involves merging back the improvements initially developed by derivative distributions so that everyone can benefit and long-term maintenance work is reduced.
</div><div class="para">
This explains why derivative distributions are invited to become involved in discussions on the <code class="literal">debian-derivatives@lists.debian.org</code> mailing-list, and to participate in the derivative census. This census aims at collecting information on work happening in a derivative so that official Debian maintainers can better track the state of their package in Debian variants. <div xmlns="" class="url">→ <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://wiki.debian.org/DerivativesFrontDesk">http://wiki.debian.org/DerivativesFrontDesk</a></div><div xmlns="" class="url">→ <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census">http://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census</a></div>

Let us now briefly describe the most interesting and popular derivative distributions.
