A day like today, but 19 years ago Ian Murdock announced the launch of the first version of the popular distribution Debian GNU / Linux. His message was:
Fellow Linuxers,
This is just to announce the imminent completion of a brand-new Linux release, which I'm calling the Debian Linux Release. This is a release that I have put together basically from scratch; in other words, I didn't simply make some changes to SLS and call it a new release. I was inspired to put together this release after running SLS and generally being dissatisfied with much of it, and after much altering of SLS I decided that it would be easier to start from scratch. The base system is now virtually complete (though I'm still looking around to make sure that I grabbed the most recent sources for everything), and I'd like to get some feedback before I add the “fancy” stuff.
Please note that this release is not yet completed and may not be for several more weeks; however, I thought I'd post now to perhaps draw a few people out of the woodwork.
Serve this post to dedicate a deserved tribute and warm congratulations to Ian and to all the developers and users of this excellent distribution, which just today is no longer a teenager and is coming of age in our hands: '(
May it continue to serve many more years .. Congratulations!
Updated: I have realized that I have put the delicate foot and I put 18, when in reality it is 19 years old ..
I'm a year older than XD debian,
Does anyone know why my twitter photo no longer appears when I comment? : s
Happy Birthday Debian GNU / Linux !!!!
Happy Birthday Debian !!! 😀
PS: It's actually the 19th birthday http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120813
Yes, I just realized that I put the delicate one .. I already corrected it .. Thank you branch
A great day for Debian and for current free software, in addition to the tradition and veterancy, its community is spectacular, there in the Debian forum reading and reading "I found" elav, answering numerous posts and helping, as today you continue to do all the participants of this website.
Congratulations to all and thank you, thank you very much.
Happy Birthday Debian folks!
Happy 19th birthday Debian, without you there would currently be no Linux mint or SolusOS
nor does ubuntu: ohgodwhy:
Happy birthday to our dear Debian (my favorite distro), and may it celebrate many more years and greetings to the community that make it possible for Debian to move forward, and cheers for it. 😀
When looking at one of the oldest Linux distributions, it would be basically a teenager if it were a person one realizes how fast technology advances. I wonder what linux will be like in 20 years.
I imagine that we would have a market share of at least 30%, a very good assortment of hardware and excellent quality of drivers, a list of games superior to that of W2 (because I imagine that at least half would be open source) .
Greetings to all the Debianites on this day and my sincere thanks to those who in some way or another have contributed to the development of this great project called Debian.
The Mexican desk, Gnome, is still celebrating, with its 15 yesterdays that it meets:
http://happybirthdaygnome.org/
The youth of today look ... Gnome in his years going astray and getting into bad meetings.
Before, he was a promising young man who hardly drank and kept fit. Now they say that he uses rare substances that make him look like gnomes and believe that it works on tablets.
Under these strange effects, he has pissed on his lifelong desk friends that prompted him to reach the top and now many of them look at him with suspicion or have left him to work with other more sober young people, one of them, still very respectful and promising is called XFCE.
Another of his bad meetings is an older guy with a 'little apple' who, in clear psychological influence on the boy, has made him believe that what he does should not be configurable, that his applications should be polished only for his environment because skipping a margin respect is cool and that imposing that on people is GREAT, but with that mentality he says that he will reach 20% as he consumes more and more ... drinks and substances.
There are people who still appreciate him and have tried to give him advice but he has closed in not listening to anyone at all: The stubbornness of age.
Hopefully he will regenerate and have many years to live if vice does not kill him sooner, because many of us are saddened to see how youth is lost in such a way and more in a problematic age like that.
Hahaha great ..
It is not surprising, it is the typical case of the young Mexican: he has not just entered puberty when the very idiot gets the idea that vice is cool and it spoils.
Give him the benefit of the doubt, although I am new to the Linux world, despite the fact that my first keystrokes were around 95, with msdos, win 3.11, win 98, and 2000, and I had a touch with red hat for back in 1999, but thanks to what he says, the anonymous good friend, and Manuel de la Fuente: EL VICE, leave the keyboards for a few years, and until January of this year I resumed that friction with Linux, with Ubuntu for another month or less, then I lied, another few days, and in the end I fell into the arms of ARCH, whom I already adore, and I am not embarrassed to say it, I decided to enter the world of linux and Arch, it has helped make my stay definitive, Linux is wonderful, almost almost, when pronouncing Linux it is as if it said Freedom.
I entered the world of vice, but today I can say that I have been out of it, for a couple of years, never to return for ever, such a young Mexican man who turned 15 years old, can leave the dark tunnel in the that has been immersed. Me and my return to the world of keyboards, has been wonderful because on the way I found GNU / Linux, and Arch to use it, those partitions where windows are hosted, cobwebs are coming out, and I'm about to make a definitive clean, and why not ?, welcome a distro that uses this young man who is on the wrong path, in one of those I have to see him recover.
Greetings all.
Ha ha ha, if you see the win vista logo in my previous comment, it's because I have no other option at work 🙁
Believe it or not, hardly anyone here hates Windows that I know of. I sometimes comment with IE10 in Windows 8 and nobody tells me anything. 😀
Congratulations to all those who make the Debian project possible, to those who make a reality, that the world learns to use the universal operating system….
«(Though I'm still looking around to make sure that I grabbed the most recent sources for everything)»
Too bad they later lost that healthy habit, hahahah !!
How great, I was 25 days old when Debian was born haha
Regards!
Congratulations even if you are late…. This is the distro that I currently use only that as almost everyone knows I depend on a proxy and it had problems with electricity and grounding of the lines so it had no outlet but it seems that everything was solved luckily for me.
Debt my Deb!
