Acknowledgments
This edition of the Networking Guide owes much to the outstanding
work of Olaf, Vince, and Terry. It is difficult to appreciate the
effort that goes into researching and writing a book of this nature
until you've had a chance to work on one yourself.
Updating the book was a challenging task, but with an excellent base
to work from, it was an enjoyable one.This book owes very much to the numerous people who took the time to
proofread it and help iron out many mistakes. Phil Hughes, John
Macdonald, and Kenneth Geisshirt all provided very helpful (and on
the whole, quite consistent) feedback on the content of the third
edition of this book. Andres Sepúlveda, Wolfgang
Michaelis, and Michael K. Johnson offered invaluable help on the
second edition. Finally, the book would not have been possible
without the support of Holger Grothe, who provided Olaf with the
Internet connectivity he needed to make the original version happen.Terry thanks his wife, Maggie, who patiently supported him throughout
his participation in the project despite the challenges presented by
the birth of their first child, Jack. Additionally, he thanks the
many people of the Linux community who either
nurtured or suffered him to the point at which he could actually take
part and actively contribute. "I'll
help you if you promise to help someone else in
return."Tony would like to thank Linux gurus Dan Ginsberg and Nicolas
Lidzborski for their support and technical expertise in proofreading
the new chapters. Additionally, he thanks Katherine for her input
with each chapter, when all she really wanted to do was check her
email. Thanks to Mick Bauer for getting me involved with this project
and supporting me along the way. Finally, many thanks to the
countless Linux users who have very helpfully documented their perils
in getting things to work, not to mention the countless others who
respond on a daily basis to questions posted on the mailing lists.
Without this kind of community support, Linux would be nowhere.
