What is Debian?
Debian is an operating system which is composed primarily of free and open-source software, most of which is under the GNU General Public License, and developed by a group of individuals known as the Debian project. Debian is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for several other Linux distributions.

About this image
The debian:latest tag will always point the latest stable release (which is,
at the time of this writing, debian:wheezy). Stable releases are also tagged
with their version (ie, debian:wheezy is currently also the same as
debian:7.4).
The rolling tags (debian:stable, debian:testing, etc) use the rolling suite
names in their /etc/apt/sources.list file (ie, deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main).
