I remember, I was 23yo and in a BSc Computer Science. At the time our teachers were more BSD, SVR4, Minix, and of course HP-UX, SunOS, AIX, IRIX, etc. They didn’t like Linux, but us, students, would download kernel and gnu utilities on like 8 floppies, to install on 486, and then the 10 floppies for X11, what a nightmare it was, like Arch today :)
My first kernel install was v0.99. What a time :) I used Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and now MX (still based on Debian) for a long time.
Been using Debian Since Potato. Never had a real reason to use any other distro.
me too it’s a distro that I love
Kinda weird how they kind of just dropped ian murdock’s name in there without any further recognition of his tragic death
I mean, is it? Yes Ian passed tragically but is a celebration of Debian the place to bring that up? Also should Ian only be remembered alongside his tragic passing?
Fair points.
RIP Ian. Wish he was around to see it today.
