Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[copyg]

I would like to inform you that my father and a great puppy linux lover passed away on monday 15.10.

Since he got introduced to puppy ( back in 2007 or even before was to young to remember) he was a big fanatic of puppy linux. He would talk about puppy on a daily basis promoting it on his every step. Back in 2007 he also joined a Croatian linux exchange community called razmjena vjestina on which he would represent puppy linux every single saturday. I remember him with his puppy linux shirt and a laptop hanging on his arm with a huge grin on his face just before heading off to one of those.
I remember him telling me success stories of him convincing people through his puppy linux presentations and installion help attempts.. he took extreeme pride in puppy linux.

Im still in a huge shock right now so writting anything more would be impossible but i felt like you guys should know since puppy linux was one of the bigger parts of his life.

He used to have a running blog but bluehost took it down due to hacker attempts while he was in coma just before his death.
The blog was/is qmarco.org/blog which ill try my best to restore.
there are some websites i found about him >

Sounds like you and Dad were close. Sorry that he passed on. He is probably proud of you.
Will raise a shot glass and pour some on the ground in his memory.
