deanlinkous: I wonder how Ian managed to *birth* Debian and then move away from the ideals.

I thank him for what he created. I do not understand how you move away and become so critical of such a great ideal.


Considering Ian Murdocks current stance on the Debian idea and community I'd say we not only should wonder but also be grateful that he left Debian.

Good point!

Thank you Ian for the *birth* of Debian as well as not hanging around to screw with it! ;)
