Congratulations to us all! Debian turns 15 today. How time flies when you’re having fun!
I like how EFYtimes puts it:
Despite being only 15 years old, Debian is more mature than any of the other operating systems.
I’ll drink to that! It’s a huge exaggeration but still, we have a solid foudation to build our freedom on.
I just posted this step by step tutorial on how to change an rpm package to a deb package. Feed back is welcome, either post in the comments or you can email me at three [at] threethirty [dot] us
I was listening to the most recent Distrowatch OGGcast http://distrowatch.com/podcast/dww20070910.mp3
and the host brought up an interesting question, why does Ubuntu win all of the polls? Well here are my reasons why the next top competitors aren't on top.
Suse (SLED and OpenSUSE): No one trusts Novell. People tend to switch to Linux to get away from Microsoft, so why use a partner's distro?!?
Mandriva: I think Mandrivia is just crap, they focus way too much on the "club" (the tossers that actually pay for it) and don't focus enough on community building.
Debian: scary server OS
