Acknowledgments
We greatly appreciate the pioneering work of Richard Stallman, without whom there would never have been the GNU Project, and of Linus Torvalds, without whom there would never have been the Linux kernel. Countless others have worked on parts of the GNU/Linux operating system, and we thank them all.
We thank the faculties of Harvard and Rice for our undergraduate educations, and Caltech and Stanford for our graduate training. Without all who taught us, we would never have dared to teach others!
W. Richard Stevens wrote three excellent books on UNIX programming, and we have consulted them extensively. Roland McGrath, Ulrich Drepper, and many others wrote the GNU C library and its outstanding documentation.
