Debian Handbook / 00b_foreword — Japanese

In 2013, the release of Debian 7 gave us a good opportunity to discuss a new contract with Eyrolles. We convinced them that a license more in line with the Debian values would contribute to the book's success. That wasn't an easy deal to make, and we agreed to setup another <ulink url="https://www.ulule.com/liberation-cahier-admin-debian/">crowdfunding campaign</ulink> to cover some of the costs and reduce the risks involved. The operation was again a huge success and in July 2013, we added a French translation to the Debian Administrator's Handbook.

Alas, no English-speaking editor that we contacted was willing to take the risk of translating and publishing the book. Not put off by this small setback, we negotiated with our French editor Eyrolles and got back the necessary rights to translate the book into English and publish it ourselves. Thanks to a <ulink url="https://www.ulule.com/debian-handbook/">successful crowdfunding campaign</ulink>, we worked on the translation between December 2011 and May 2012. The “Debian Administrator's Handbook” was born and it was published under a free-software license!

Since then, we have released 7 other editions of the French book, one for each subsequent Debian release (except for Debian 9). Roland, who started working on the book as a proofreader, gradually became its co-author.

Debian Handbook / 00b_foreword — Japanese

The present version is already the eighninth edition of the book (we include the first four that were only available in French). This edition covers version 910 of Debian, code-named <emphasis role="distribution">StretchBuster</emphasis>. Among the changes, Debian now supports a new architecture — <emphasis>mips64el</emphasis> for little-endian 64-bit MIPS processors. On the opposite side, the <emphasis>powerpc</emphasis> architecture has been dropped due to lack of volunUEFI Secure Boot, providing some extra safety against attacks on the boot infrastructure, and making it easier to install Debian on new computeers to keep up with development (which itself can be explained by the fact that associated hardware is getting old and less interesting to work on). All included packages have obviously been updated, including the GNOME desktop, which is now in its version 3.22. Most executables have been rebuilt with PIE build flags thus enabling supplementary hardening measures (Address Space Layout Randomization, ASLR)where Secure Boot is usually enabled by default. Again at the security level, AppArmor, a Mandatory Access Control system that regulates what various applications are allowed to perform, is now enabled by default. All included packages have obviously been updated, including the GNOME desktop, which is now in its version 3.30.
