This book has been long in the making, and many people are responsible
for the outcome. In particular, I would like to thank Larry Greenfield
and Karl Fogel for their work on the first version of 
Chapter~\ref{chap-tutorial}, and to Lars Wirzenius for his
work on Chapter~\ref{chap-sysadm}. Thanks to Michael K. Johnson for
his assistance with the LDP and the \LaTeX\ conventions used in this
manual, and to Ed Chi, who sent me a printed copy of
the book for edition. 

Thanks to Melinda A. McBride at SSC, Inc., who did an excellent
job completing the index for Chapters~\ref{chap-tutorial}, \ref{chap-sysadm}, 
and~\ref{chap-advanced}. I would also like to thank Andy Oram, Lar Kaufman, 
and Bill Hahn at O'Reilly and Associates for their assistance with the 
Linux Documentation Project. 

Thanks to Linux Systems Labs, Morse Telecommunications, Yggdrasil 
Computing, and others for their support of the Linux Documentation 
Project through sales of this book and other works.

Much thanks to the many activists, including (in no particular order)
Linus Torvalds, Donald Becker, Alan Cox, Remy Card, Ted T'so, H.J. Lu, 
Ross Biro, Drew Eckhardt, Ed Carp, Eric Youngdale, Fred van Kempen, Steven 
Tweedie, and a score of others, for devoting so much time and energy to this 
project, and without whom there wouldn't be anything to write a book about.

Special thanks to the myriad of readers who have sent their helpful 
comments and corrections. There are far too many to list here. 
Who needs a spell checker, when you have an audience?
