Acknowledgments from the Previous Edition
This book builds on Mac OS X for Unix Geeks, for which we had help from a number of folks:
The folks at the ADC, for technical review and handholding in so many tough spots!
Erik Ray, for some early feedback and pointers to areas of library linking pain.
Simon St.Laurent for feedback on early drafts, and prodding me towards more Fink coverage.
Chris Stone, for tech review and helpful comments on the Terminal application.
Tim O’Reilly, for deep technical and editorial help.
Brett McLaughlin, for lots of great technical comments as well as helpful editorial ones.
Brian Aker, for detailed technical review and feedback on Unixy details.
Chuck Toporek, for editing, tech review, and cracking the whip when we needed it.
Elaine Ashton and Jarkko Hietaniemi, for deeply detailed technical review, and help steering the book in a great direction.
Steven Champeon, for detailed technical review and help on Open Firmware and the boot process.
Simon Cozens, for technical review and pushing me toward including an example of how to build a Fink package.
Wilfredo Sanchez, for an immense amount of detail on everything, and showing me the right way to do a startup script under Jaguar. His feedback touched nearly every aspect of the book, without which there would have been gaping holes and major errors.
