Fedora® 9 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, Paul Frields (new Fedora Project leader), Max Spevack (outgoing 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 these members of the Fedora Project who answered my questions during the development of this edition: Christopher Aillon, Rahul Sundaram, Seth Vidal, Ian Weller, Dan Williams, and David Zeuthen.

At Wiley, I'd like to thank Jenny Watson, Colleen Hauser, and Laura Moss-Hollister 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 time.

Thanks to Debra Banninger for shepherding the book through the final stages of production. 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.

Finally, a special thanks goes to those of you who bought this and earlier editions of Red Hat ...
