Ian Murdock ? the ?ian? in Debian ? was found dead at his home in San Francisco on Monday. The cause is yet unknown.

Murdock was an integral figure in the open source movement. His Debian Project ? and his work at Docker ? were groundbreaking. Announced in 1993 and released in 1996, Murdock named the distro after his then wife, Debra, and himself. Debian, created while Murdock was an undergraduate at Purdue University, gave birth to tools like apt-get, an installation system that streamlined open source packages.

?Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ?Wow! What a Ride!? ~ Hunter S. Thompson

WOW, that's too bad, and only 42 years old.  The holiday season is very hard on folks facing stressful times.

Debian is definitely the King of the Linux OS's.  There are dozens of Linux Distros built on Debian, (Ubuntu, Mint, Xandros, etc).  It's been my go-to operating system for the last 5 years.....
