Debian cumple hoy 19 años

Un día como hoy, pero hace 19 años atrás Ian Murdock anunciaba el lanzamiento de la primera versión de la popular distribución Debian GNU/Linux. Su mensaje fue: 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. Sirva este post para dedicarle un merecido homenaje y darle una calurosa felicitación a Ian y a todos los desarrolladores y usuarios de esta excelente distribución, que justamente hoy deja de ser adolescente y se nos hace mayor de edad entre las manos :’( Que siga cumpliendo muchos años más.. Felicidades!!!
