The backbone of any Linux distribution is formed by
the organizations that produce the distributions, the major projects included in Linux, and the
thousands of people who give their time and code to support Linux. So, thanks to you all!
For Linux Bible 2008 Edition, Emmett Dulaney did most of the heavy lifting. Emmett??™s thorough
technical edit of the entire book and updates to several critical sections made it possible for us to
bring the book to market on schedule.
I??™d like to acknowledge several contributors for their participation in previous editions. Wayne
Tucker wrote and then updated the chapters on Debian, LAMP servers, and mail servers. Bill von
Hagen contributed updates to the SUSE, Yellow Dog, and Ubuntu chapters. Jaldhar Vyas updated
the Linspire chapter.
Thanks to the folks at Wiley for helping me press through the project. Jenny Watson did a wonderful
job putting together the personnel needed to complete this book, in the face of my having five
books scheduled to complete within a two-month period. Sara Shlaer did her usual great job keeping
the project moving under a very challenging schedule. Thanks to Margot Maley Hutchison and
Maureen Maloney from Waterside Productions for contracting the book for me with Wiley.
And finally, special thanks to my wife, Sheree.
