Siduction is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and the GNU project. In addition, there are applications and libraries from Debian. The name siduction is a play on two words. The word sid, which is the codename of Debian Unstable, and seduction in the sense of seduce. Siduction is a rolling release due to its coupling with Debian sid. Specifically, this means that the release of a new version does not require reinstalling the system to get updated packages. Instead, updates are regularly incorporated into the system through software updates.
