Fedora® 8 and Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® Bible

Acknowledgments

A special acknowledgment goes to the people at Red Hat, Inc. and members of the Fedora Project. In particular, Max Spevack (Fedora Project leader) and Greg DeKoenigsberg (Fedora Community leader) deserve praise for their leadership in producing a consistently high-quality Linux distribution. Special thanks to Jesse Keating (Red Hat release engineer for Fedora) for helping me use his excellent Pungi tools to produce the 8GB Fedora DVD that comes with this book. Also special thanks to the members of the Fedora-marketing-list and Fedora-advisory-board mailing lists who have provided me with insights into the goals and direction of the Fedora project.

At Wiley, I'd like to thank Jenny Watson, Colleen Hauser, and Laura Atkinson for helping work out issues related to the publicity, media, and covers for this book. Thanks to Sara Shlaer for her continued great editing and production work on this book, and for keeping me on schedule so we could bring this book to you on schedule. Tim Boronczyk provided a thorough technical editing pass. Thanks also to Margot Maley Hutchison and the others at Waterside Productions for bringing me this project.

Thanks, as always, to my dear family for helping me through this project. It's time to party!

Finally, a special thanks goes to those of you who bought this and earlier editions of Red Hat Linux Bible. Go out and become a force for Linux in your work, home, and community. If you feel like expanding your Linux horizons, try some of these ...
