Happy anniversary indeed. 30 years for anything is a significant milestone particularly an all, or nearly all, volunteer project that doesn't have a single person who is the benevolent dictator for life but instead has had a number of elected project leaders over that time. This is very much an accomplishment and all involved may take a well deserved bow.
My personal foray into Debian began 24 years ago next month, as I recall. I installed Slink from a pile of floppies onto a castoff IBM Thinkpad 760ED. Most everything worked except for the internal modem and sound as both were tied to a proprietary DSP that never had support added to the kernel. In January 2000 I replaced the by that time obsolete libc5 based Slackware '96 installation on my desktop and was running the soon to be stable Potato in short order. I wish I could say that those original installations had been upgraded and migrated uninterrupted over the intervening years but I did distro hopping yet always came back to Debian and also bumped up to amd64 along the way. Here's to many more anniversaries. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
