I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.
Happy birthday!
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.
Kinda cute kinda sad their legacy will probably outlive them by far
Glad they mentioned the mode lines. Debian used to give a very scary warning about mode lines destroying your monitor that no other distro even thought to tell you about. Auto configuration of the X server was truly a technological marvel.
The packages in Debian stable are also about 30 years old.

Happy Birthday to the best linux distro out there!
