-====== Stratum ======
-**A functional layer for Debian.**
-In geology, a stratum is a distinct layer of rock or sediment, characterized by properties that distinguish it from the layers surrounding it. It forms part of a larger structure while retaining its own identity, purpose, and characteristics.
-**Stratum applies the same principle to Debian.**
-Stratum is an extension layer that sits on top of a standard Debian installation, adding functionality, tooling, configuration, and operational capabilities without replacing or forking the underlying operating system.
-Debian remains the foundation. Stratum provides the additional layer.
-Rather than creating another Debian-based distribution, Stratum builds upon Debian as it is — preserving its packages, ecosystem, stability, and established workflows while providing additional capabilities for systems that require a more structured and consistent operational environment.
-Stratum can provide everything from system administration tools and standardized configurations to security policies, monitoring, automation, management agents, and other functionality that extends the capabilities of a Debian system.
-The result is a layered architecture:
-**Debian provides the foundation.
-Stratum provides the additional capabilities.
-The system remains Debian.**
-Stratum is designed to be modular and transparent. Components can be installed according to the needs of a system, allowing the same underlying Debian platform to serve different roles without introducing an entirely separate operating system or distribution.
-This approach keeps the boundary clear: Debian remains upstream, while Stratum provides the additional layer required to build consistent, manageable, and capable systems on top of it.
-**Stratum is not a distribution. It is a layer.**
