The Debian community has turned 19

It was on this day in 1993 that Jan Murdoch published a message in comp.os.linux.development, where he criticized the SLS that existed at that time, proposing to make a new Debian Linux Release distribution kit, the first versions of which appeared already in 1994-95.

My congratulations to the developer community: you are doing the really necessary and useful business. The distribution is easy to use, does not require special care: the refined process of updating major OS versions first appeared here. The package base is one of the largest in the world; there is no point in looking for and collecting something when it is in the repository. It is from Debian that they originated * buntu, Mint, and a bunch of other highly specialized distributions. Sincere thanks for the work, keep up the good work.

My congratulations to the user community: it is this phenomenon that has united us into slender rows of quiet users looking at people tormented by arch, genta, zyuz, and other distributions haughtily. We can say with absolute certainty that yes, there are distributions where nothing breaks apart from Red Hat. Yes, we can argue and agree on equal terms with Apple users for ease of use because they also support the idea of ​​using centralized repositories instead of separate installers for each program that was also implemented here for the first time.

My congratulations to users and developers of other distributions: without you, the project would stall in development, not creating, not consuming and not developing new ideas, the knowhow of which you implemented for the first time, but it appeared a little later in Debian.

My congratulations to Microsoft: these perpetual changes in the concepts of OS management, its GUI on each major version, virus software, antivirus software, DRM, non-support of its own standards for the graphical interface and also: proprietary data formats, proven and unproved facts of pressure on organizations and state bodies. The controls published in various articles and even Wikipedia, etc., have made me an active user of Debian, and, if not a dislike of your OS, then at least now it is indifferent to it and other products of your organization.

Anyone can argue for or against this distribution. I expressed only a few of my thoughts on this. Thanks for attention.
Long Live Debian!
