Really nice overview by @sjvn on the legacy of Ian Murdock and #debian, which just celebrated its 30th anniversary. I use a Debian derivative OS every single day and am amazed at the versatility and stability of Debian-based Linux. Murdock not only made Linux usable for non-experts like me, he also changed the way open source software is developed, ensuring quality & adherence to core values of the free software movement. Cheers and thanks, Ian. #debian30 #freesoftware

Bon anniversaire Debian :debian: !
J'ai découvert la distribution en décembre 2004 pendant une LAN-Party du côté de Bréhal.

Puis, en février 2005, après avoir récupérer l'ancien PC familial, j'ai installé la version 3.0 (rapidement mis à jour vers la version 3.1) en suivant le guide d'Alexis de Lattre. (laurianalywald.free.fr/)

Fait amusant, j'ai acquis la version en trois DVD de Debian 3.1 via un magazine en 2005 -je l'ai encore- celle-ci a dépanné une personne qui était en stage au CÉLAR vers mai-juin 2005 en même temps que moi dans la complétion de son projet.

Depuis 2005, Debian est ma distribution de choix pour mes serveurs.

Today, #Debian turns 30 years old.
A milestone achieved only by serious, concrete projects with clear objectives.
My journey with Debian began three years after its inception, and for the past 27 years, Debian has been a constant companion in my daily life. It has never let me down, both in its "pure" form and as a foundation for other projects like #Proxmox, etc. Even now, it remains my favorite Linux distribution (alongside Alpine Linux).

Happy birthday from the #BSDCafe community, Debian! 🎉
