A Custom Debian Distribution (also known as a CDD) is a subset of the Debian Linux distribution that is configured to support a particular target group out-of-the-box. The changes are integrated to the official Debian archives, e.g.: Debian Jr. When a CDD is in development, such as Sacix, developed for the city of São Paulo, some changes can be merged back to the Debian project but the CDD build and all the new or modified packages remains a separate entity.[citation needed]

A Custom Debian Distribution can contain multiple flavors (or profiles) (e.g. Skolelinux has flavors for main-server, workstation, and thin-client-server).

Most of the distributions based on Debian, for example Knoppix, are called children distribution, but not custom Debian distributions.
