# Standing on the shoulders of Giants

- Tanglu is a Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution, derived from and compatible with Debian.
- Tanglu uses the GNOME desktop. It's fast, easy to use and lets you focus on the things which are really important without getting in your way while you are working.
- Our innovations and desktop-focus, the rapid development of Debian and the values we share with as well as the huge package database make Tanglu one of the most attractive desktop operating systems available to home users.
