Debian and Ubuntu
Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.
About Debian
Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is built".
Debian is a volunteer project to develop a GNU/Linux distribution. Debian was started more than a decade ago and has since grown to comprise more than 1000 members with official developer status and many more volunteers and contributors. It has expanded to encompass over 20,000 "packages" of free and open source applications and documentation.
About Ubuntu
Sponsored by Canonical, the Ubuntu project attempts to work with Debian to address the issues that keep many users from using Debian. Ubuntu provides a system based on Debian with frequent time-based releases, corporate accountability, and a more considered desktop interface. Ubuntu provides users with a way to deploy Debian with security fixes, release critical bug fixes, a consistent desktop interface, and to never be more than six months away from the latest version of anything in the open source world.
Ubuntu and Debian
Ubuntu and Debian are distinct but parallel and closely linked systems. The Ubuntu project seeks to complement the Debian project in the following areas:
Package selection
Ubuntu does not provide security updates and professional support for every package available in the open source world, but selects a complete set of packages making up a solid and comprehensive desktop system and provides support for that set of packages.
For users that want access to every known package, Ubuntu provides a "universe" component (set of packages) where users of Ubuntu systems install the latest version of any package that is not in the supported set. Most of the packages in Ubuntu universe are also in Debian, although there are other sources for universe too. See the Ubuntu Components page for more detail on the structure of the Ubuntu web distribution.
Releases
Ubuntu makes a release every six months, and supports those releases for 18 months with daily security fixes and patches to critical bugs.
As Ubuntu prepares for release, we "freeze" a snapshot of Debian's development archive. We start from the development version in order to give ourselves the freedom to make our own decisions with regard to release management, independent of Debian's release-in-preparation. This is necessary because our release criteria are very different from Debian's.
As a simple example, a package might be excluded from Debian 'testing' due to a build failure on any of the 10+ architectures supported by Debian, but it is still suitable for Ubuntu if it builds and works on only three of them. A package will also be prevented from entering Debian 'testing' if it has release-critical bugs according to Debian criteria, but a bug which is release-critical for Debian may not be as important for Ubuntu.
As a community, we choose places to diverge from Debian in ways that minimize the difference between Debian and Ubuntu. For example, we usually choose to update to the very latest version of Gnome rather than the older version in Debian, and we might do the same for key other pieces of infrastructure such as X or GCC. Those decisions are listed as Feature Goals for that release, and we work as a community to make sure that they are in place before the release happens.
Development community
Many Ubuntu developers are also recognized members of the Debian community. Through their work on Ubuntu they continue to stay active in contributing to Debian and they often continue to work directly in Debian.
When a bug is reported in the Debian bug tracking system and then later fixed in Ubuntu, the fixes are often automatically communicated back directly to the debian bug system. Patches are also published automatically on patches.ubuntu.com. The long term goal of that work is to ensure that patches made by the full-time Ubuntu team members are immediately also included in debian packages where the debian maintainer likes the work.
In Ubuntu, team members can make a change to any package, even if it is one maintained by someone else. Once you are an Ubuntu maintainer it's encouraged that you fix problems you encounter, although we also encourage polite discussions between people with an interest in a given package to improve cooperation and reduce friction between maintainers.
Freedom and Philosophy
Debian and Ubuntu are grounded on the same free software philosophy. Both groups are explicitly committed to building an operating system of free software.
Differences between the groups lie in their treatment of non-computer applications (like documentation, fonts and binary firmware) and non-free software. Debian distributes a small amount of non-free software from their Internet servers. Ubuntu will also distribute binary drivers in the "restricted" component on its Internet servers but will not distribute any other software applications that do not meet its own Ubuntu Licensing Guidelines.
Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives
There are many other distributions that also share the same basic infrastructure (package and archive format). Ubuntu is distinguished from them in a number of ways.
First, Ubuntu makes patches available to Debian as soon as bugs are fixed during the Ubuntu release process, not just when the release is actually made. With other Debian-style distributions, the source code and patches are made available in a "big bang" at release time, which makes them difficult to integrate into the upstream HEAD. Ubuntu patches are published automatically on an ongoing basis.
Second, Ubuntu includes a number of contributors who are also Debian developers. Many of the other distributions that use Debian-style packaging do not include any active debian contributors.
Third, Ubuntu makes much more frequent and fresher releases. Our release policy of releasing every six months is (at the time of writing) unique in the Linux distribution world. Ubuntu aims to provide you with a regular stable and security-supported snapshot of the best of the open source world.

Ubuntu和Debian是两个不同但很类似，并且联系紧密的两个系统。Ubuntu项目在以下方面寻找Debian项目的补充
Package selection
软件包的选择
Ubuntu does not provide security updates and professional support for every package available in the open source world, but selects a complete set of packages making up a solid and comprehensive desktop system and provides support for that set of packages.
Ubuntu不为开源世界的每个可用包提供安全更新和专业支持，而是挑选了一套软件包来组建一个固定和全功能的桌面系统，并为这套软件包提供支持
For users that want access to every known package, Ubuntu provides a "universe" component (set of packages) where users of Ubuntu systems install the latest version of any package that is not in the supported set. Most of the packages in Ubuntu universe are also in Debian, although there are other sources for universe too. See the Ubuntu Components page for more detail on the structure of the Ubuntu web distribution.
对于想使用没一个已知包的用户，Ubuntu提供了一个“universe”组件，用户可以用它安装最新版本的软件包，这些软件包都不被支持。大多数在Ubuntu universe中的软件包也可以在Debian中找到，尽管universe也有其他来源。你可以在Ubuntu的网站上的Components（组件）页查看更多细节。
Releases
版本
Ubuntu makes a release every six months, and supports those releases for 18 months with daily security fixes and patches to critical bugs.
Ubuntu每六个月发布一个新版本，并且为这些版本提供18个月的日常安全更新和修复重大bug的补丁
As Ubuntu prepares for release, we "freeze" a snapshot of Debian's development archive. We start from the development version in order to give ourselves the freedom to make our own decisions with regard to release management, independent of Debian's release-in-preparation. This is necessary because our release criteria are very different from Debian's.
Ubuntu准备发行的时候，我们会“冻结”Debian的某个开发档快照。我们从开发版开始，是为了给我们自己在版本管理问题上做决定的自由，不受Debian的待发行版的影响。
As a simple example, a package might be excluded from Debian 'testing' due to a build failure on any of the 10+ architectures supported by Debian, but it is still suitable for Ubuntu if it builds and works on only three of them. A package will also be prevented from entering Debian 'testing' if it has release-critical bugs according to Debian criteria, but a bug which is release-critical for Debian may not be as important for Ubuntu.
举个简单的例子，某个软件包由于在超过十个Debian的版本上编译（？）失败而被排除在Debian的‘testing’列表之外，但是如果能在只有三个Ubuntu版本上编译和运作，那么它仍然适用与Ubuntu。某个软件包根据Debian的评判标准存在release-critical bugs也会被阻止进入Debian的“testing”目录，但是一个release-criticalbug对于Ubuntu来说可能不是那么重要。
As a community, we choose places to diverge from Debian in ways that minimize the difference between Debian and Ubuntu. For example, we usually choose to update to the very latest version of Gnome rather than the older version in Debian, and we might do the same for key other pieces of infrastructure such as X or GCC. Those decisions are listed as Feature Goals for that release, and we work as a community to make sure that they are in place before the release happens.
作为一个社区组织，我们选择了一个最小化Debian和Ubuntu差异的方式来区分Debian以定位自己。（这一句实在是别扭得很啊啊啊啊）

许多Ubuntu的开发者同时也是Debian社区的注册会员。尽管他们努力地在做Ubuntu，但是他们也继续积极参与为Debian做贡献，而且他们也常常继续直接在Debian里工作
When a bug is reported in the Debian bug tracking system and then later fixed in Ubuntu, the fixes are often automatically communicated back directly to the debian bug system. Patches are also published automatically on patches.ubuntu.com. The long term goal of that work is to ensure that patches made by the full-time Ubuntu team members are immediately also included in debian packages where the debian maintainer likes the work.
当debian的bug追踪系统报告了一个bug，随后在Ubuntu中被修复了，那么这些修复常常会自动反馈到Debian的bug系统中
In Ubuntu, team members can make a change to any package, even if it is one maintained by someone else. Once you are an Ubuntu maintainer it's encouraged that you fix problems you encounter, although we also encourage polite discussions between people with an interest in a given package to improve cooperation and reduce friction between maintainers.
在ubuntu中，队员可以修改任何软件包，及时这个包是由另外一个人维护的。如果你是Ubuntu的维护者，我们鼓励你解决你遇到的问题，尽管我们也鼓励对某个包有兴趣的人们之间的友好的讨论，以减少维护者之间的摩擦。
Freedom and Philosophy

Debian和Ubuntu基于相同的自由软件哲学。两个组织都明确表示要建立一个自由软件操作系统
Differences between the groups lie in their treatment of non-computer applications (like documentation, fonts and binary firmware) and non-free software. Debian distributes a small amount of non-free software from their Internet servers. Ubuntu will also distribute binary drivers in the "restricted" component on its Internet servers but will not distribute any other software applications that do not meet its own Ubuntu Licensing Guidelines.
组织之间的不同在于他们对非计算机应用（比如文档，字体和二进制韧体？？？）和非自由软件的态度。Debian 从他们的服务器上分发少量的非自由软件。Ubuntu也会在“restricted（受限）”组件中分发Internet服务器上的二进制驱动，但是不会分发任何不符合它自己的Ubuntu许可证指导方针的软件应用。
Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives
Ubuntu和其他的Debian衍生版
There are many other distributions that also share the same basic infrastructure (package and archive format). Ubuntu is distinguished from them in a number of ways.
有很多其他的发行版有相同的基础结构？（软件包和档案格式）。Ubuntu和他们有许多方面的不同。
First, Ubuntu makes patches available to Debian as soon as bugs are fixed during the Ubuntu release process, not just when the release is actually made. With other Debian-style distributions, the source code and patches are made available in a "big bang" at release time, which makes them difficult to integrate into the upstream HEAD. Ubuntu patches are published automatically on an ongoing basis.
首先，Ubuntu 在它的发行过程中，bug一被修复，Ubuntu就会制作Debian可用的补丁，而不仅仅是在新版本制作完成之后。对于其他的Debian式发行版，源代码和补丁数量在发布的时候程大爆炸式出现，这使得他们（是指源码和补丁吧？）难以融入上游。Ubuntu的补丁在持续进行的基础上放出。
Second, Ubuntu includes a number of contributors who are also Debian developers. Many of the other distributions that use Debian-style packaging do not include any active debian contributors.
其次，Ubuntu容纳许多同时也是Debian开发者的贡献者。许多其他用Debian式打包的发行版没有Debian贡献者。
Third, Ubuntu makes much more frequent and fresher releases. Our release policy of releasing every six months is (at the time of writing) unique in the Linux distribution world. Ubuntu aims to provide you with a regular stable and security-supported snapshot of the best of the open source world.
第三，Ubuntu频繁发布了更多更新的版本。（这句译了几次~~~）我们每六个月发布一个新版本的发行策略在Linux发行版世界中是绝无仅有的。

当debian的bug追踪系统报告了一个bug，随后在Ubuntu中被修复了，那么这些修复常常会自动反馈到Debian的bug系统中
In Ubuntu, team members can make a change to any package, even if it is one maintained by someone else. Once you are an Ubuntu maintainer it's encouraged that you fix problems you encounter, although we also encourage polite discussions between people with an interest in a given package to improve cooperation and reduce friction between maintainers.
在ubuntu中，成员可以修改任何软件包，即使这个包是由另外一个人维护的。如果你是Ubuntu的维护者，我们鼓励你解决你遇到的问题，尽管我们也鼓励对某个包有兴趣的人们之间的友好的讨论，以减少维护者之间的摩擦。
Freedom and Philosophy
自由和哲学
Debian and Ubuntu are grounded on the same free software philosophy. Both groups are explicitly committed to building an operating system of free software.
Debian和Ubuntu基于相同的自由软件哲学。两个组织都明确表示要建立一个自由软件操作系统
Differences between the groups lie in their treatment of non-computer applications (like documentation, fonts and binary firmware) and non-free software. Debian distributes a small amount of non-free software from their Internet servers. Ubuntu will also distribute binary drivers in the "restricted" component on its Internet servers but will not distribute any other software applications that do not meet its own Ubuntu Licensing Guidelines.
组织之间的不同在于他们对非计算机应用（比如文档，字体和二进制固件）和非自由软件的态度。Debian 从他们的服务器上分发少量的非自由软件。Ubuntu也会在“restricted（受限）”组件中分发Internet服务器上的二进制驱动，但是不会分发任何不符合它自己的Ubuntu许可证指导方针的软件应用。
Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives
Ubuntu和其他的Debian衍生版
There are many other distributions that also share the same basic infrastructure (package and archive format). Ubuntu is distinguished from them in a number of ways.
有很多其他的发行版有相同的基础结构（软件包和档案格式）。Ubuntu和他们有许多方面的不同。
First, Ubuntu makes patches available to Debian as soon as bugs are fixed during the Ubuntu release process, not just when the release is actually made. With other Debian-style distributions, the source code and patches are made available in a "big bang" at release time, which makes them difficult to integrate into the upstream HEAD. Ubuntu patches are published automatically on an ongoing basis.
首先，Ubuntu 在它的发行过程中，bug一被修复，Ubuntu就会制作Debian可用的补丁，而不仅仅是在新版本制作完成之后。对于其他的Debian式发行版，源代码和补丁数量在发布的时候程大爆炸式出现，这使得它们难以融入上游。Ubuntu在持续进行的基础上放出补丁。
Second, Ubuntu includes a number of contributors who are also Debian developers. Many of the other distributions that use Debian-style packaging do not include any active debian contributors.
其次，Ubuntu拥有许多同时也是Debian开发者的贡献者。许多其他用Debian式打包的发行版没有活跃的Debian贡献者。
Third, Ubuntu makes much more frequent and fresher releases. Our release policy of releasing every six months is (at the time of writing) unique in the Linux distribution world. Ubuntu aims to provide you with a regular stable and security-supported snapshot of the best of the open source world.
第三，Ubuntu频繁发布了更多更新的版本。我们每六个月发布一个新版本的发行策略在Linux发行版世界中是绝无仅有的。Ubuntu的目标是周期性发布稳定安全的开源世界“缩影”。[/quote]

Debian and Ubuntu
Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.
Ubuntu和Debian 联系非常紧密。Ubuntu 建立在Debian的基础之上，但是拥有自己的社区和进度。
About Debian
关于Debian
Debian is "the rock upon which Ubuntu is built".
Debian是 “Ubuntu的磐石”
Debian is a volunteer project to develop a GNU/Linux distribution. Debian was started more than a decade ago and has since grown to comprise more than 1000 members with official developer status and many more volunteers and contributors. It has expanded to encompass over 20,000 "packages" of free and open source applications and documentation.
Debian是一个志愿者项目，主要开发GNU/Linux发行版。Debian开始于十多年前，现在已经壮大到拥有超过1000名官方开发者，还有海量的志愿者和贡献者。它现在包含超过2万个自由和开源的应用程序和文档，并封装成“包”。
About Ubuntu
关于Ubuntu
Sponsored by Canonical, the Ubuntu project attempts to work with Debian to address the issues that keep many users from using Debian. Ubuntu provides a system based on Debian with frequent time-based releases, corporate accountability, and a more considered desktop interface. Ubuntu provides users with a way to deploy Debian with security fixes, release critical bug fixes, a consistent desktop interface, and to never be more than six months away from the latest version of anything in the open source world.
由Canonical公司赞助的Ubuntu项目致力于和Debian协作，寻找和解决使人们不用Debian的问题。Ubuntu提供了一个基于Debian的按时更新，由企业负责和更加亲和的桌面界面，并且不会被开源世界的最新进展落下6个月以上。
Ubuntu and Debian
Ubuntu和Debian
Ubuntu and Debian are distinct but parallel and closely linked systems. The Ubuntu project seeks to complement the Debian project in the following areas:
Ubuntu和Debian是两个不同但很类似，并且联系紧密的系统。Ubuntu项目对Debian项目的补充在如下方面
Package selection
软件包的选择
Ubuntu does not provide security updates and professional support for every package available in the open source world, but selects a complete set of packages making up a solid and comprehensive desktop system and provides support for that set of packages.
Ubuntu不为开源世界的每个可用包提供安全更新和专业支持，而是挑选了一套软件包来组建一个稳定、全功能的桌面系统，并为这套软件包提供支持。
For users that want access to every known package, Ubuntu provides a "universe" component (set of packages) where users of Ubuntu systems install the latest version of any package that is not in the supported set. Most of the packages in Ubuntu universe are also in Debian, although there are other sources for universe too. See the Ubuntu Components page for more detail on the structure of the Ubuntu web distribution.
对于想使用已知包的用户，Ubuntu提供了一个“universe”部分，用户可以通过它获取这些不被支持的软件包。大多数在Ubuntu universe中的软件包也可以在Debian中找到，尽管universe也有其他来源。你可以在Ubuntu的网站上的Components（组件）页查看更多细节。
Releases
版本
Ubuntu makes a release every six months, and supports those releases for 18 months with daily security fixes and patches to critical bugs.
Ubuntu每六个月发布一个新版本，并且为这些版本提供18个月的日常安全更新和修复重大bug的补丁
As Ubuntu prepares for release, we "freeze" a snapshot of Debian's development archive. We start from the development version in order to give ourselves the freedom to make our own decisions with regard to release management, independent of Debian's release-in-preparation. This is necessary because our release criteria are very different from Debian's.
Ubuntu准备发行的时候，我们会“冻结”某个从Debian截取的版本。我们从开发版开始，是为了给我们自己在版本管理问题上做决定的自由，不受Debian的待发行版的影响。
As a simple example, a package might be excluded from Debian 'testing' due to a build failure on any of the 10+ architectures supported by Debian, but it is still suitable for Ubuntu if it builds and works on only three of them. A package will also be prevented from entering Debian 'testing' if it has release-critical bugs according to Debian criteria, but a bug which is release-critical for Debian may not be as important for Ubuntu.
举个简单的例子，某个软件包由于在超过十个Debian的构架版本上编译失败而被排除在Debian的‘testing’列表之外，但是如果能在只有三个Ubuntu版本上编译和运作，那么它仍然适用与Ubuntu。某个软件包根据Debian的评判标准存在release-critical bugs也会被阻止进入Debian的“testing”目录，但是一个release-criticalbug对于Ubuntu来说可能不是那么重要。
As a community, we choose places to diverge from Debian in ways that minimize the difference between Debian and Ubuntu. For example, we usually choose to update to the very latest version of Gnome rather than the older version in Debian, and we might do the same for key other pieces of infrastructure such as X or GCC. Those decisions are listed as Feature Goals for that release, and we work as a community to make sure that they are in place before the release happens.
作为一个社区组织，我们选择了一个使差异的最小化的方式，以定位自己而区分于Debian。例如，我们选择更新至最新版本的Gnome而不是Debian那样较为过时的版本，同样的策略也应用在X和GCC上。
Development community
开发社区
Many Ubuntu developers are also recognized members of the Debian community. Through their work on Ubuntu they continue to stay active in contributing to Debian and they often continue to work directly in Debian.
许多Ubuntu的开发者同时也是Debian社区的注册会员。尽管他们努力地在做Ubuntu，但是他们也继续积极参与为Debian做贡献，而且他们也常常继续直接在Debian工作。
When a bug is reported in the Debian bug tracking system and then later fixed in Ubuntu, the fixes are often automatically communicated back directly to the debian bug system. Patches are also published automatically on patches.ubuntu.com. The long term goal of that work is to ensure that patches made by the full-time Ubuntu team members are immediately also included in debian packages where the debian maintainer likes the work.
当debian的bug追踪系统报告了一个bug，随后在Ubuntu中被修复了，那么这些修复常常会自动反馈到Debian的bug系统中
In Ubuntu, team members can make a change to any package, even if it is one maintained by someone else. Once you are an Ubuntu maintainer it's encouraged that you fix problems you encounter, although we also encourage polite discussions between people with an interest in a given package to improve cooperation and reduce friction between maintainers.

With other Debian-style distributions, the source code and patches are made available in a "big bang" at release time, which makes them difficult to integrate into the upstream HEAD. Ubuntu patches are published automatically on an ongoing basis.
首先，Ubuntu 在它的发行过程中，bug一被修复，Ubuntu就会制作Debian可用的补丁，而不仅仅是在新版本制作完成之后。对于其他的Debian式发行版，源代码和补丁数量在发布的时候程大爆炸式出现，这使得它们（可能指源码和补丁）难以融入上游。Ubuntu的补丁是持续进行地上放出。
Second, Ubuntu includes a number of contributors who are also Debian developers. Many of the other distributions that use Debian-style packaging do not include any active debian contributors.
第二，Ubutnu的很多贡献者也是Debian的开发者。很多其它的Debian式软件包结构并没有Debian的积极贡献者。
Third, Ubuntu makes much more frequent and fresher releases. Our release policy of releasing every six months is (at the time of writing) unique in the Linux distribution world. Ubuntu aims to provide you with a regular stable and security-supported snapshot of the best of the open source world.
第三，Ubuntu发新版本更频繁更新鲜。我们每六个月发行一版的策略是很特别的。Ubutnu旨在为您提供开源世界稳定安全最好的发行版本。
