<p>There are multiple ways to get and use Debian.</p>

<ul>
  <li>We have installation images, supporting installation and use on
    many types of system: laptops, desktops and servers.</li>
  <li>We also make live images so that you can run Debian on your
    computer directly without having to install it first.</li>
  <li>Finally, we
    publish <a href="https://cloud.debian.org/images/">cloud
    images</a>, specially targeted for running Debian in your own
    cloud computing setup or on most common commercial clouds
    such as AWS, GCP or Azure.
</ul>

<p>All of these are available for free download from Debian servers
  and mirrors all over the world. You do not need to pay for a licence
  to download or use Debian, and we encourage you to share it with
  your friends. See <a href="FIXME">FIXME!</a> for more details about
  this. Debian makes no money directly, so we depend on donations and
  sponsorship to pay our bills. If you would like to contribute,
  click <a href="FIXME">here</a> for more details.</p>

      <li>It's a good idea to proof your downloaded files on correctness and
        integrity so the installing later can work properly without possible
        flaws otherwise.</li>
      <li>To do so Debian is providing hash sums of the images which are created
        while the images are created. Your downloaded file needs to fit these sum
        so you can be sure the file is completely equal and valid to the original
        file.</li>
