Gerd Bavendiek</H4>
|
|
Gerd has worked as a software engineer with various flavors of Unix since 1988.

|
convenient.
|
|
Since that time he has used Linux and various GNU-software. He lives in Essen,
|
|
Germany.
|
|
In my spare time I build model-steam engines using real hardware: lathe,
|
|
milling-machine and a lot of hand tools.

My assistant, Amy Kukuk, did all the work again this month.
|

She's so good to me. Thank you, Amy.

Vacations are fun and wonderful, but mine sure put me behind schedule with my
|
|
<I>Linux Journal</I> work. My grandchildren are even smarter and more
|
|
beautiful than I remembered. It was a much needed break, and I expect to
|
|
get caught up this week. :-)
|
|
<P>
|
|
<I>Linux Journal</I> is expanding to 116 pages
|
|
and going to perfect binding with the October issue. No wonder I'm working
|
|
so hard!

Riley is going off again this Saturday for our

annual week-long motorcyle trek with friends. This time I'm staying home.
|
|
:-( Oh, well, perhaps next year. (Needless to say, our motorcycle is a BMW.)

<P>
|

Have fun!
