Debian Project is 14 years old

14 years ago, on August 16, 1993, Ian A Murdock wrote comp.os.linux.development to the conference:
“Dear Linuxoids,
I want to inform you about the creation of a new Linux distribution that I call Debian Linux. I basically created this distribution from scratch; in other words, I didn’t just make a few changes to the SLS and called it a new release. I decided to create my own distributive after using SLS: being dissatisfied with it even after many changes were made, I decided to start everything from the beginning. ”
