Because we practice what we preach, the manuscript for this book was updated and edited using the free OpenOffice.org word processor on FreeBSD UNIX. We also used NetBSD and SuSE Linux for the KDE and GNOME examples, and a Web application on the Apache Web server on BSD/OS to pass around edited chapters among the authors and our editors. The net.gurus.com and www.dummies.com Web sites both run on Apache servers on UNIX; our UNIX mail server handles the mail at gurus.com; and our publisher’s three UNIX mail servers handle the mail at wiley.com . None of that expensive Pacific Northwest software for us, thanks.
