When I first started using Linux a gazillion years ago I gave a fair shake to Red Hat, Slackware, OpenSUSE, that one where you had to compile everything, and Debian. I landed on Debian, and it's still my go to for servers and VMs.


>>that one where you had to compile everything

Gentoo.


Happy Birthday Debian!

After all these years, you're still the only want for me.


Happy birthday Debian!

You serve a few small vm's here and always has done this without much complaints. So thank you and your amazing developers and maintainers.


RIP Ian Murdock.


Amazing, Gnome was 25 just today. Or yesterday? Only 4 years difference.


Happy birthday! My favourite distro for ~10 years now.


It makes me feel so old, but happy birthday Debian!


Happy Birthday, Debian.

So much have changed.

I’ve relegated Debian to strictly my desktops.

Servers and embedded works have all gone Gentoo and Devuan.


make -a cake
