Happy Birthday Debian!

My open source journey started with Slackware in 1995, then Red Hat from 
1996, and then Fedora. I first encountered Debian at a new job in 2007, 
and switched my desktop to Debian/sid in 2012. I installed my current 
Debian/sid desktop in April 2017 and it has been rolling ever since, 
which I consider an extraordinary achievement. Well done Debian!


Thank you everyone who keeps Debian going.

Kind regards,

Happy Birthday 30 years of the Debian Linux Project


I consider Debian to be a major intellectual achievement,  Collective, but still 
a major achievement.


My first Linux ran on an IBM PS/2 L40 SX laptop with a monochrome display.  I 
had to recompile part of the kernel to get the 640x480 display to work.  That 
took over 3 hours on that machine.  An excellent keyboard.


I tried Redhat and SuSE, but finally moved to Debian and never looked back.

Happy Birthday Debian !

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

Remembering Ian Murdock for a moment, I didn't know him personally. Another

Also available as ASCII:

Looks like originally it was meant as a kind of Proto-Sid:

 "2) Debian will contain the most up-to-date of everything. The system
 will be easy to keep up-to-date with a 'upgrading' script in
 the base system which will allow complete integration of
 upgrade packages."

Here i see a good argument in case Debian ever discusses to discontinue
the ISO sets with all packages:

 "6) Debian will make Linux easier for users who don't have access to the
 Internet. [...]"


Happy Birthday Debian !


Have a nice day :)
