Ian started the Debian project in August of 1993, releasing the first versions of Debian later that same year. Debian would go on to become the world's Universal Operating System, running on everything from embedded devices to the space station.

Made me curious how he passed, wiki has little info.

Quote
his Twitter account declared an intention to commit suicide, and described violent encounters with police.

Agreed or because of internet it gets out quicker and a more wide range rather news station or news paper.

Wow. Wtf? I'd like to see the full police reports & submit public information act and see video. See if the police abused their power or that Ian was out of order.

Why does archive.org have a different capture with no reference to suicide?

Is archive.is "trustworthy", there's a lot of shady shit that comes from the .is domain?
