Ubuntu Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Power Users, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge Canonical Ltd. and the Ubuntu community for their ongoing excellent work producing the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system.

For this edition, I enlisted the excellent skills of David Duffey, Server Partner Programme Manager at Canonical. His help was invaluable when it came to sizing up the new content for this edition. Also on this edition, thanks to Richard Blum (a fine Linux author in his own right) for providing a thorough technical edit on this edition.

Special thanks to François Caen for his work as coauthor on the first edition of this book. Also on the first edition, Thomas Blader went far beyond his technical editor title, providing excellent insights and meticulous testing throughout the book. Eric Foster-Johnson came in near the end of the process on the first edition and provided Ubuntu feature enhancements throughout the book.

Thanks to my friends and associates at Red Hat who make it a joy to go to work every day. In particular, thanks to Henry Hutton for his constant encouragement and great ideas promoting my Linux books. And on the home front, thanks to my wonderful wife Sheree and cool son Seth for making it fun to come home too.

At Wiley, I'd like to thank Mary James for helping to establish the vision for this book, as well as Maureen Spears for her gentle encouragement to keep me on schedule and for her steady hand developing and editing the book. Thanks to Daniel Scribner for steering it through the production phases. ...
