Ian Murdock, father of Debian, dead at 42
Quote:
Founder of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution project, has died at the age of 42. His death, announced in a blog post by Docker CEO Ben Golub, came after an apparent encounter with police and a statement posted on Murdock's Twitter feed that he was going to commit suicide, though no cause of his death has been given.
Quote:
The distribution gets its name from the combination of his name and that of his then-girlfriend Deborah Lynn. The pair married, and had two children; they divorced in 2007.

Damn those linux creators have crazy lives, anyone remember dude Raiser which killed his wife and made file system which was at some time used by almost all linux distributions ?

It's really sad, the guy really did revolutionize the way open source software was perceived in big business.

So long, and thanks for the distro, without which there would likely be no Ubuntu or Mint for that matter.
