Debian Etch moves ever closer, and Ian Murdock - the project's founder - has been interviewed about Debian's politics, its lack of strong leadership, and Ubuntu's ever-growing fame. He feels that Debian is too enveloped in process and politics, making it impossible for anybody to make big decisions, thereby hindering the pace of development. In addition, on his weblog Murdock has announced he is joining Sun.

Typically, that means creating a shim so your kernel can talk to the Linux device driver layer and, of course, making sure the licenses are compatible.
Sun's DDI is completely incompatible with Linux's kernel API (or the lack there of). I wonder has Ian Murdock ever programmed anything - since his qualifications seem to be in Business.
