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.
