Today, August 16 2023, marks the 30th anniversary of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It was the first linux version I installed after ditching Windows completely. And today, Debian is still very relevant.

30 years of Ian being reminded that it was a dumb idea to name his biggest project ever after his then-not-yet ex-wife Debra.

(Ok, they’ve only been divorced for 15 of these 30 years)

  Ian passed away in December 2015, so not even that long.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
