Acknowledgments

First, “I” did not write this book. There are too many contingencies that allowed its creation. Overall, I merely stood on the shoulders of the giants that precede me.

There should also be two other names on the cover: Matthias Fricke and Patrick Gallagher from the Advanced System Administration “team,” without whom this book would be about half the volume, and no training course would exist. Thanks also to Ben Greisler for stepping very late into the process to calm nerves.

At the top of my specific list, I need to thank my immediate family, my daughters Emily and Lily, and particularly my wife Dorothy, who took on (even more of) the household burden while I wrote. Also, thank you for having enough sense to force me to stop writing ...
