hardware requirements

hardware requirements @ least of kernel , gnu toolsets. debian s recommended system requirements depend on level of installation, corresponds increased numbers of installed components:



the real minimum memory requirements depend on architecture , may less numbers listed in table. possible install debian 60 mb of ram x86-64; installer run in low memory mode , recommended create swap partition. installer z/architecture requires 20 mb of ram, relies on network hardware. similarly, disk space requirements, depend on packages installed, can reduced manually selecting packages needed. of august 2014, no pure blend exists lower hardware requirements easily.


it possible run graphical user interfaces on older or low-end systems, installation of window managers instead of desktop environments recommended, desktop environments more resource-intensive. requirements individual software vary , must considered, of base operating environment.

embedded systems

debian supports variety of arm-based nas devices. nslu2 supported installer in debian 4.0 , 5.0, , martin michlmayr providing installation tarballs since version 6.0. other supported nas devices buffalo kurobox pro, glan tank, thecus n2100 , qnap turbo stations.


devices based on kirkwood system on chip (soc) supported too, such sheevaplug plug computer , openrd products. there efforts run debian on mobile devices, not project goal yet since debian linux kernel maintainers not apply needed patches. nevertheless, there packages resource-limited systems.


there efforts support debian on wireless access points. debian known run on set-top boxes. work ongoing support am335x processor, used in electronic point of service solutions. debian may customized run on cash machines.


beagleboard, low-power open-source hardware single-board computer (made texas instruments) has switched debian linux preloaded on beaglebone black board s flash.
