# <p><strong>However, bookworm benefits from Long Term Support (LTS) until
# 30th June, 2028. The LTS is limited to i386, amd64, armel, armhf and arm64.
# All other architectures are no longer supported in bookworm.
# For more information, please refer to the <a
# href="https://wiki.debian.org/LTS">LTS section of the Debian Wiki</a>.

<p>To obtain and install Debian, see
the <a href="debian-installer/">installation information</a> page and the

<p>Last but not least, we have a list of <a href="credits">people who take
