I would like to thank God, above all, for anything that is excellent in my
contributions to this book. I offer many thanks to David Brickner for his
patience in giving advice and corrections during the editing process. Thanks
as well to the entire O’Reilly production crew. Thanks to Kyle Rankin and
Jonathan Oxer for their input during the review process. I would also like to
thank my readers, contributors, and assistant web masters for their help,
encouragement, and inspiration offered at my web site, VarLinux.org.
Thanks also to the encouragement of my readers in other publications and
to the many wonderful people I’ve met (either for the first time or for the
first time face-to-face) at LinuxWorld Expo and other various conferences.
Thanks to my heroes Tim O’Reilly, Bob Young, Jon “Maddog” Hall, Linus
Torvalds, Alan Cox, Hans Reiser, Con Kolivas, Richard Stallman, and the
many more sung and unsung heroes of the Linux and open source worlds. I
thank my family for patiently allowing me to sleep through quality time we

more consecutive hours of quiet
