RIP Ian Murdoch

Locked

Ian Murdoch, the most important man in technology you've never heard of died today.

Inventor of the Debian Linux Distribution - which, at a first approximation, runs the internet(*), your car, your phone, and your TV - he personally helped me write the driver for my first ever Winmodem (albeit, via the mailinglist, not in person), and get connected to the internet proper for the first time.

Code: Select All
dig grave.com
apt-get install ian-murdoch




(*)Technically, powers 11% of the internet, but look at the family tree.
