Debian community turns 19

On that day in 1993, 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, the first versions of which appeared already in 1994-95.

Congratulations to the developer community: you are doing a really useful and useful thing. The distribution kit is easy to operate and does not require much care: the refinement of the processes for updating major versions of the OS first appeared here. The package database is one of the largest in the world, it makes no sense to search and collect something when it is in the repository. It was from Debian * buntu, Mint, and a bunch of other highly specialized distributions came from. Sincerely thanks for the work, keep up the good work.

Congratulations to the user community: it is this phenomenon that has united us in the orderly ranks of calm users looking at people tormented with archa, ghent, zuze, and other distributions from above. We can safely say 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, which was also implemented for the first time here.

Congratulations to users and developers of other distributions: without you, the project would stall in development without creating, consuming or developing new ideas, the know-how of which was first implemented by you, but appeared in Debian a bit later.

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

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