Hey, I've been administering Debian since 2.1 'slink', as well, so that
makes two decades for me, too.  (The Official Debian installer was
rather dreadful, then, and the replacement d-i installer introduced with
'sarge' (3.1) is miles better.

I see that 'Debian Day' aka 'Debian Appreciation Day' is the anniversary
of when the late Ian Murdock founded the project on 1993-08-16.
Personally, I would want to count from the release date of the first
public beta, v. 0.90, on 1994-01-26.  Over 25 years either way, though.
