While a college student, Murdock founded the Debian project in August 1993, and wrote the Debian Manifesto in January 1994.

He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] [5]

Murdock left the Linux Foundation to join Sun Microsystems in March 2007[7] Project Indiana , which he described as "taking the lesson that Linux has brought to the operating system and providing that for Solaris ", making a full OpenSolaris distribution with GNOME and userland tools from GNU plus a network-based package management system.[8] [9] merged with Oracle and he resigned his position with the company.[10]
From 2011 until 2015 Murdock was Vice President of Platform and Developer Community at Salesforce Marketing Cloud , based in Indianapolis .[10] [11]

The San Francisco police confirmed he was detained, saying he matched the description in a reported attempted break-in and that he appeared to be drunk.[23] [24] medical examiner 's office confirmed Murdock was found dead.[25] [26]
