Similarly, [[Ian Murdock]]'s frustration with SLS led him to create the [[Debian]] project.<ref>{{cite web \| first=Ian A. \| last=Murdock \| title=NNTP Subject: New release under development; suggestions requested \| url=http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.development/msg/a32d4e2ef3bcdcc6 \| date=16 August 1993 \| accessdate=2007-08-17}}</ref> Line 22: [[Category:Discontinued Linux distributions]] {{linux-distro-stub}}
