Happy birthday Debian

Check out the party links as well. There are a number of US parties, though they're evidently not big enough to warrant a front page listing. I'll be at the Chicago birthday/key-signing party on Saturday if anyone is in the area.
 
I just recently put Debian on a box of mine.

"apt-get install" owns in a way never before conceived, assuming you have broadband

Happy B-day Debian, hopefully you ll be my full time OS in a few months.
 
Happy B'Day Debian.

My local LUG is having a party with a BDay cake for Debian....
Thinking of a suitable present for the BDay kid...🙂
 
My lug is too small for such a thing, I saw about the thing in chicago, but that's a 3 hour drive across Illinois, and I have no car insurance. 😀
 
Happy birthday Debian. :beer::beer::beer:

Running Gentoo on my primary system, but I've still got woody on my old laptop. 😀
 
Debian is so easy to maintain, it frightens me, and the install is easy if you have relatively normal hardware (just like any linux distro). Unfortunately, the resident windows users don't really care about the maintenance, they just want it to look pretty, so I'll be slapping mandrake on two out of three of my debian boxes. (With a custom kernel due to the broken pcnet32 modules in 2.4.x and greater kernels, I just took the one from 2.2.20 and replaced the newer one. *crosses fingers*)
 
sniff sniff....something burning? i havent tried debian yet. is it hard to install?

Why is the install so important? You only do it once, it's the maintenance that's important.

bahaha.. So I guess the answer to your question would be NO. 😀

It's actually not bad at all, but I'm used to it. For someone coming from a windows/newbie linux background, it will take some getting used to. It's pretty simple though. Follow directions, hit enter a lot, know your hardware and load appropriate modules. Skip tasksel, skip dselect. You're good to go. 🙂

There's no need to bash Mandrake 😀 It's better than most of the "eye candy" distros (and a lot faster than RH). Since I mostly use blackbox as a window manager, though, I don't really need to run an "eye candy" distro...I just run Debian on XFS and STFU 😉

Not really, I think the install is really simple, if you're new to Linux you'll need to do a little reading but no big deal. You'll end up doing the reading eventually no matter what distro you choose =)

Skip tasksel, skip dselect. You're good to go.

I like dselect.
