    Thanks for the post skidoo.

    The end of an era.

    I used to pop in regularly at the Puppy forums. It was a great place to get some new ideas about programs that could be used in antiX.

    I was wondering why the “Murga”-based Puppy forums were unavailable, now I know why.

    Ian Murdock (Debian) and Jon Danzig (Libranet) are a few other luminaries on the critical path of our fine distribution.

    Ian was the originator of Debian, who took his life in 2015.

    Jon Danzig was the founder of the excellent Canadian Debian-based distribution. I feel that it was Libranet that laid the foundation for the improved ease of use in Debian. MEPIS, the father of both antiX and MX Linux, followed and improved upon, the work of Debian and Libranet.

    Each of these people – and thousands of others, both current and past, have contributed to what we appreciate today. I’m thankful for each of them, and remember them with appreciation for their work.
