Debian GNU Linux turns 19 years old
The distribution on which almost all main stream GNU / Linux
distributions turned 19 years old.
20 years in active development and still up and running
Thumbs up for
the Debian guys :)
Debian first release came out on 16 August 1993. The Debian
philosophy and goals were outlined by the Debian distro "creator"
Ian Murdock in
Debian Manifesto. The original Debian
manifesto is available for reading as part of Debian documentation
in
/usr/share/doc/debian/debian-manifesto
I've used almost all of available major Linux distributions but I
haven't found better than Debian or Debian based derivatives for
both server and desktop installs.
I've red there is a sort of tradition that Debian users celebrate
each Debian anniversary with a huge cake eating parties.
Unfortunately yesterday I was sick so I couldn't enjoy deb's
birthday.
Happy Birthday Debian ! :)
