|

>Many people have helped me with this book, directly or
|
||
indirectly. I would like to especially thank Matt Welsh for
|
||
inspiration and LDP leadership, Andy Oram for getting me to work
|
||
again with much-valued feedback, Olaf Kirch for showing me that it
|
||
can be done, and Adam Richter at Yggdrasil and others for showing
|
||
me that other people can find it interesting as well.</P

||

|
||
>Stephen Tweedie, H. Peter Anvin, Remy Card, Theodore
|
||
Ts'o, and Stephen Tweedie have let me borrow their work (and
|
||
thus make the book look thicker and much more impressive):
|
||
a comparison between the xia and ext2 filesystems, the device
|
||
list and a description of the ext2 filesystem. These aren't
|
||
part of the book any more. I am most grateful for this, and
|
||
very apologetic for the earlier versions that sometimes lacked
|
||
proper attribution.</P
|
||
><P
|
||
>In addition, I would like to thank Mark Komarinski for
|
||
sending his material in 1993 and the many system administration
|
||
columns in Linux Journal. They are quite informative and
|
||
inspirational.</P
|
||
><P
|
||
>Many useful comments have been sent by a large number
|
||
of people. My miniature black hole of an archive doesn't let
|
||
me find all their names, but some of them are, in alphabetical
|
||
order: Paul Caprioli, Ales Cepek, Marie-France Declerfayt,
|
||
Dave Dobson, Olaf Flebbe, Helmut Geyer, Larry Greenfield and
|
||
his father, Stephen Harris, Jyrki Havia, Jim Haynes, York Lam,
|
||
Timothy Andrew Lister, Jim Lynch, Michael J. Micek, Jacob Navia,
|
||
Dan Poirier, Daniel Quinlan, Jouni K Sepp<70>nen, Philippe Steindl,
|
||
G.B. Stotte. My apologies to anyone I have forgotten.</P

some minor inaccuracies. And there are almost certainly going to

notice any of this then please let me know by sending me an email

any form of input (diffs, just plain text, html, whatever), I am

in no way above allowing others to help me maintain such a large

and making the text far better than it would otherwise have been.

Also thanks are due just for being wonderful.</P

most is my first true UN*X mentor, Mike Velasco. Back in a time before

SCO became a "dirty word", Mike helped me on the path of tar's, cpio's,
|

and many, many man pages. Thanks Mike! You are the 'Sofa King'.</P
