Debian joins Desktop Linux Consortium

February 7th, 2003

The Debian Project is a founding member of the Desktop Linux Consortium (DLC) which was recently founded and will be incorporated as a non-profit association. A recent survey on DesktopLinux.com indicated that Debian is the most popular GNU/Linux Distribution for the Desktop. The Debian Desktop sub-project is an example of our continuing efforts to improve Debian for Desktop GNU/Linux users.

The Desktop Linux Consortium is a vendor-neutral association which is comprised of both commercial companies and open source organizations that are developing and shaping GNU/Linux desktop technologies. The association will help shape the future of GNU/Linux on the desktop, targeting the needs of corporate, institutional, and home users.
