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

To celebrate #Debian30 anniversary, yesterday I've upgraded my personal server to #Bookworm.
It's been the most smooth and uneventful (= good!) server upgrade ever, over my 25 years of #Debian use.
(Except for #Nextcloud, but that's on me, as it's not deployed as a Debian package.)
Heute Abend feiern wir den Geburtstag von #Debian. Wer also nicht gerade auf dem #cccamp23 weilt, kann gern vorbei kommen. Wir haben leckeren Kuchen, Getränke und nette Leute am Start.

Bon anniversaire 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. (http://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.
Happy Birthday Debian !
L'excellente distribution Linux Debian a 30 ans ! Je me souviens d'avoir commencé à l'utiliser en version "2.2 Potato" dans les années 2000 (merci @logilab et @nchauvat)

Happy birthday, #Debian!
This is one of the first distros I used (for about 10 years, including on SPARC and on PowerPC, but also for the Hurd!) and it remains to me an inspiring #FreeSoftware project.
« The time has come to concentrate on the future of Linux rather than on the destructive goal of enriching oneself at the expense of the entire Linux community and its future. » — Ian Murdock, 1994 #Debian30

Happy 30th anniversary, Debian! #debian30
16.08.1993: "This is just to announce the imminent completion of a brand-new Linux release, which I'm calling the Debian Linux Release." #debian #debian30 https://wiki.debian.org/DebianHistory?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Debian-announcement-1993.txt
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!
#Debian https://www.debian.org was founded on this day (Aug 16th), in 1993.
Happy 30th anniversary, Debian!
