maybe, nitpicking, but how is this (aug 16 1993) the birthday of debian?
Check this out:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDay2008
yes, please check that out; can you find anything in there that contradicts
what i have posted? let me repeat, debian was only announced on aug 16 1993 -
you can even google for the original posting and it says precisely that
(impending release or imminent release is the wording in the original posting,
i believe). celebrating the day of announcement as debian day is quite fine,
but calling it the birthday is a stretch, no? the 'unusable' release came soon
after. and when i say unusable, i mean like ls does not work. and, i did open
my post with, "maybe, nitpicking".
