abarbarian Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 https://www.zdnet.com/article/debian-linux-founder-ian-murdock-dies-at-42-cause-unknown/ He appears to have died that night, Monday, December 28. At the time of this writing, the cause of death still remains unknown. His death is a great loss to the open-source world. He created Debian, one of the first Linux distributions and still a major distro; he also served as an open-source leader at Sun; as CTO for the Linux Foundation, and as a Docker executive. He will be missed. There seems to be a mystery surrounding his death. Whatever the cause a sad loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't touched a ciggie for months. It takes a bit to work out what style of vaper you are and which device and flavours you prefer, but slowly all the tobacco toxins will leave your body and you will feel more alive and wonder why you ever smoked. You are welcome to my advice and encouragement if you wish to explore vaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Try Jack Daniels, Erik. It'll clear your mind right up... just like mine is at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
