Hmm... my switch to Debian was in 2003 (I was using Redhat before
because it was not my own machine(s), so I only had a chance to choose
in 2003, after 7 years without owning a computer (my earlier computer
couldn't run GNU/Linux anyway, it was limited to MiNT)).

My initial machine (Thinkpad X30) was brand new in 2003, so it's still
alive and kicking (although its mouse buttons are dead, so I have to use
keyboard emulation of mouse clicks), still running Debian testing.
I use it to project PDF slides in class.
Actually, I also remember now that another selling point for Debian was
the "testing" version, which lets you do "lots of small painless
upgrades" instead of "less frequent but more painful upgrades".
