Today is turning 24 years old from the glorious birth of the Unix-based operating system that was dubbed Debian by its creator Ian Murdock over there in 1993.
How every year is celebrated debian day party in various cities of the world, for our part we were meeting online with various users of the community scattered around the world.
It is good this day of celebration to highlight the extensive work that the Debian community has had Throughout all these years, it is not for free that this distro is called «the mom of the distros«Hundreds of distros have originated from it, which have always carried with them particles of its philosophy, structure, technology, among others.
On the blog we have repeatedly talked about Debian-related topics, which we would like to revive on such an important date.
In the first instance, it is good to read the opinion of people who are quite knowledgeable about Debian in its entirety, that is why it is worth recalling three great articles that will allow us to make a decision when choosing Debian as our distro of header, these articles are Why Debian?, Why am I using Debian on my desktop? y Debian gets lost in its branches the latter very well details its versioning.
Then we can enter the world of Debian, learning in the various tutorials and guides that have been published on the blog, of which we can highlight the following:
Packages in DEBIAN - Part I (Packages, Repositories and Package Managers)
How to add PPA repositories in Debian
6 Debian Desktops - Computer Networking for SMEs
How to restore a Debian-based distro to its original state

And finally do not forget that following this link we can find much more information related to Debian. In the same way, I do not want to miss the opportunity to congratulate each of the people who make it possible for Debian to continue to be a reference distro in the area of free operating systems.
¡Happy Birthday Debian! And that they be many more.
Super stable, hopefully never decay, humble technology server, learning more and more about this system that is not comparable to any, for more, happy 24 years.
My favorite distro hard with me for more than 8 years in a row gave me a lot of peace of mind, I did not bother my pc despite being on the unstable branch for the last two years, I was bored with so much tranquility and gave me to experiment in a weekend to install arch linux and there i am learning from this distro.
But nevertheless Debian is a distro that I will always respect and which I recommend for its support and for the security it offers to the end user ... Congratulations Debian and may it be many more years 🙂
Thanks to Debian for being the first distro, the best distribution that I have had the pleasure of using, stable, efficient ... a distro that does not have to envy any other ...
And although I am a Gentoo user today, Debian will always be my distro of choice since without it I would never have learned what I needed to do.
