Appendix

L'auteur - Jon 'maddog' Hall

Jon "maddog" Hall is the Executive Director of Linux International, a vendor organization dedicated to promoting the use of the Linux Operating System. He has been in the computer industry for over a quarter century (somehow that sounds more impressive than just "25 years"), the past 18 years of which have been spent using, programming, and admiring the UNIX Operating System. Currently, Jon works for Compaq Computer Corporation, where he is helping to shape Compaq's strategy with respect to Linux. Previously, Jon was the Department Head of Computer Science at Hartford State Technical College, where his students lovingly (he hopes) gave him the nickname "maddog" as he tried to teach them operating system design, compiler theory, and how to live an honorable life.

L'auteur - Paul G. Sery

Paul G. Sery

works for Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is a member of the Computer Service Unit, Special Projects, which specializes in managing and troubleshooting UNIX and Linux systems. Paul is the author of LINUX Network Toolkit, IDG Books Worldwide, 1998, and has a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Mexico.

They also enjoy traveling throughout Mexico.
