Lingo and terminology you'll hear bandied about among the users and developers of SprezzOS:

  • d-i. The Debian installer, on which s-i is based.
  • DBTS. The Debian Bug Tracking System (custom software) at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/.
    • Appropriate bugs are forwarded there from Sprezzabugs.
  • deb. The Debian software package format, used by SprezzOS and other Debian-based distributions.
    • debs are generally served from an APT repository.
  • udeb. "Microdeb" aka μdeb. A deb used in the installer, stripped down to bare essentials. See Chapter 3 of the d-i manual, "D-I Components or udebs".
