I got my occasional libranet newsletter today and it said that Jon Danzig, the founder of Libranet, passed away. While I didn't know him or anything, I will always have a space in my heart for his work creating Libranet. Libranet was very helpful in exposing me to Debian when the installer was just too much for me. I eventually started to use Debian, but whenever someone asks me what is a good distro, Libranet is always a top choice.

Libranet was one of the first distros to really make Debian accessible to people new to Linux. They made recompiling a kernel trivial as well, which I have no other distro reproduce. Jon's son (who has been working on the Libranet team for a long time) will take over his father's place on the team. I wish them the best and thank them for all their hard work.
