<p>The <b>Debian Hamradio Pure Blend</b> is a project of the <a
href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHams/">Debian Hamradio Maintainers Team</a>
who collaborate on maintenance of amateur-radio related packages for Debian.
Every <a href="https://blends.debian.org/">Pure Blend</a> is a subset of Debian
that is configured to support a particular target group out-of-the-box. This
blend aims to support the needs of radio amateurs.</p>
<p>The Blend is built from a curated list of amateur radio software in Debian.
The two main outputs from the Blend are a collection of "metapackages" and live
images that can be put onto a DVD or a USB stick.</p>
<h2>Metapackages</h2>
<p>Metapackages in Debian are packages that can be installed just like other
packages but that do not contain any software themselves, instead instructing
the packaging system to install a group of other packages.</p>
<p>See <a href="./get/metapackages">using the metapackages</a> for more
information on which metapackages are available and how to install the
metapackages on an existing Debian system.</p>
<h2>Live Images</h2>
<p>If you're new to Debian and you'd like to try the Debian Hamradio Pure Blend
without installing it on your computer, or if you'd like to perform a fresh
installation of Debian with all the amateur radio software ready-to-go, you
might find the live images useful. Images are produced that can be run from
DVDs or USB sticks on both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architectures.</p>
<p>See the <a href="./get/live">live images page</a> for more information.</p>
