@abhas Best wishes for a great future. Not many can have the same level of commitment to free software as you.

Today, at DeepRoot GNU/Linux, we complete 20 years of building, selling, supporting and advocating #FreeSoftware and #GNU/#Linux.

Please do visit the brief timeline we've published at:

I'm looking forward to using this occasion to discuss software freedom, self-hosting, building / running a free software business and so much more.
