'''siduction''' is a desktop-oriented [[operating system]] based on the "unstable" branch of [[Debian]], which uses the codename '''Sid'''. It was forked from [[aptosid]] in July 2011 for reasons that are detailed in the<ref name='sidu-blog'>{{Cite web| url =http://news.siduction.org/2011/08/why-we-fork-aptosid/ | title = Why We Fork aptosid (2011-08-09) | publisher = Ferdinand Thommes}}</ref>. The distribution is offered as an ISO image for the [[x86]] architecture, which can, after installation to a [[Live USB|USB]] flash drive, [[Live CD|CD]] or [[Live DVD|DVD]], be booted and run as-is, or installed to a hard drive with the included graphical installer. Multiple popular desktop environments are offered, including [[KDE]], [[Razor-Qt]], [[XFCE]], [[Gnome]], and [[LXDE]] and [http://lxqt.org LXQt].  The goal of the distribution is to provide a stabilized, easy-to-use [[Free and open source software|cutting-edge free and open-source]] operating system.<ref name="distrowatch">{{cite web|url=http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=siduction|title=DistroWatch.com : siduction|publisher=DistroWatch.com|accessdate=2014-05-27}}</ref>
== Features ==

Siduction is based on Debian's most modern branch, '''Sid''', also referred to as the unstable branch. This means that siduction is inherently a  [[Rolling Release|rolling-release distribution]] of Debian Linux, since the Sid repository receives software package updates on a continuous basis, supporting the development of the next stable release of Debian.  Other Linux distributions that use the rolling release model include [[Arch Linux]], [[Sabayon Linux|Sabayon]], [[PCLinuxOS]] and others.
Beginning with 2013.2 RC, the default initialization is [[systemd]]. The release notes, as well as the Debian wiki, provide information and relevant commands for using systemd and its journal.
To enhance the usability of the native Sid branch, siduction provides a number of tools and scripts, including the graphical installer and ceni for network configuration. It includes a manual<ref name='sidu-manual'>{{Cite web| url = http://manual.siduction.org | title = The Siduction Operating System Manual | accessdate = 2013-12-25 | publisher = [http://manual.siduction.org siduction.org]}}</ref> with detailed guidance for system configuration and administration.  Of course, online guidance for support of Debian systems is abundant and generally applies to siduction.

=== Live media ===

Each release comes as an ISO image<ref name='liveusb'>{{Cite web| title = How to make a Live USB from the Live CD ISO file | date = 2013-12-25 | url = http://manual.siduction.org/hd-ins-opts-oos | author = Siduction user manual }}</ref>, which is used to make a [[Live CD]], a [[Live DVD]], or (most popular) a bootable [[Live USB]] flash drive installation. These media boot to a graphical, fully functional Linux desktop. A graphical installer is included, if the user desires to perform a hard drive installation of siduction.

=== Installer ===

The graphical [[Installation (computer programs)|installation]] can be launched directly from the booted live session. Siduction can be installed to USB-connected hard disks and [[USB flash drive]]s, as well as to internal [[hard disk drive]]s.

=== Updates ===

Once siduction is installed, it can be kept up-to-date with updated packages from the Debian Sid and [http://packages.siduction.org siduction] repositories. Updates are typically run from [[command line]] using [[apt-get]]. Because of the possibility that critical new system files, including packages supporting the X server graphical display system, might be installed during an update, system updates should run outside of X (i.e. while NOT running the [[GUI]]). This prevents the possibility of pre-install and post-install scripts causing damaging conflicts with running user-space applications and/or a running X server. Therefor updates are installed in 'run-level 3' (for sysv configured systems) or in the multi-user.target level for systemd configured systems. Detailed instructions are included in the manual.
Being a distribution of Sid, the active development branch of Debian, transitions of package versions can occasionally cause a situation where it is undesirable to update a siduction system, pending correction of a conflict. To help users avoid the problem, warnings regarding upgrades are posted on the main website and in the  [http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?board=22.0 Upgrade Warnings] section of the forum.

=== Support ===

* The IRC channel #siduction at irc.oftc.net, port 6667 gives fastest response.
* The  [http://forum.siduction.org forum] is also a good place for questions, discussion, and tips, however the typical response time is longer.

=== Multilingual ===

The default language of siduction releases is English, however German, English (GB), Italian, Polish, Portuguese (BR), and Romanian ([[i18n]] support) are also provided within the DVD, selectable at boot prompt.

=== Packages ===

Siduction comes with a selection of software packages for general productivity work, system rescue/repair tasks, and internet-based surfing and communications. In the various Desktop Environments, default package suites have been selected for the released ISO image, and of course after installation the entire Debian repository is available for further adaptation of the system to the user's needs.
The complete package list for each siduction release is included in the project download directory<ref name='download directory'>{{Cite web| url = http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/iso/ | title = siduction release download page | accessdate = 2013-12-25 }}</ref>, named <release-name>.manifest.

== Releases ==

Siduction releases are prepared to coincide with major useful improvements in the underlying Debian Sid system and the desktop environments – thus they are not timed on a regular basis.  Typically the developers have offered one or two releases per year, as shown below. Siduction releases may also promote upcoming and new techniques that will be adopted by Debian later. As an example, Siduction included [[Systemd]] in December 2013, before Debian decided to change to this new init system. Also, as the first distribution on the market, we shipped a release with the new desktop environment [http://lxqt.org LXQt], that is a merge of LXDE and Razor-Qt. In doing so, siduction provides testing grounds for new techniques and new software, before they are even considered ready for mainstream. This way we can help Debian with finding bugs very early and preparing software to be included in the main distribution.

== Name ==

The part ''sid'' of the distribution name is derived from Debians Unstable Branch aka Sid (named after the [[List of Toy Story characters#Sid Phillips|Sid Phillips]] character from the movie [[Toy Story]]). The second part is derived from the English term ''seduction'' - a deliberate strong personal attraction. The names of the releases are taken from more or less famous rock and pop songs, and the artwork (wallpaper) for each release fits the corresponding release name. Release names can be proposed by users and will finally be chosen by the core team of developers.

== Software ==

Siduction releases contain only [[free software]] as defined by the [[Debian Free Software Guidelines|Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG)]]. To aid proof of compliance, a monolithic tarball containing the source for all packages used in the release is provided alongside the Live CD ISOs.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://ftp.spline.de/pub/siduction/| title=release-repository}}</ref>
Access to non-free software such as codecs, plugins and wlan firmware can be enabled by configuring contrib and non-free Debian repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

In keeping with the evolutionary nature of the "unstable" Debian branch, siduction releases do not provide an upgrade path from previous release versions. Rather, once installed, incremental updates are performed via regular "dist-upgrades". The idea of a "Release" is instead to improve Live CD hardware support, performance, flexibility and reliability, built from the current debian unstable repository and to provide current installation media for new users.

== System recommendations ==

Siduction is supported for the [[P6 (microarchitecture)|i686]] computer architecture and the [[amd64]] computer architecture.
