Linux Unwired [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Colophon

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own
experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive
covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics,
breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.

The image on the cover of Linux Unwired
is cattle ropers. Ropers were cowboys who snared calves and dragged
them to the fire for branding. Branding was the act of applying a
red-hot branding iron to a calf's flank to mark the animal. Each ranch
had a marking that identified cattle belonging to its herd, and this
was thought to discourage theft.

Sarah Sherman was the production editor and copyeditor for
Linux Unwired. Matt Hutchinson was the
proofreader. Colleen Gorman and Claire Cloutier provided quality
control. Julie Hawks wrote the index.

Emma Colby designed the cover of this book, based on a series
design by Hanna Dyer and Edie Freedman. The cover image is a
19th-century engraving from The Book of the American
West (Bonanza Books, 1963). Emma Colby produced the cover
layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.

David Futato designed the interior layout. The chapter opening
images are from the Dover Pictorial Archive, Marvels of the
New West: A Vivid Portrayal of the Stupendous Marvels in the Vast
Wonderland West of the Missouri River, by William Thayer
(The Henry Bill Publishing Co., 1888), and The Pioneer
History of America: A Popular Account of the Heroes and
Adventures, by Augustus Lynch Mason, A.M. (The Jones
Brothers Publishing Company, 1884). This book was converted by Joe
Wizda to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by
Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl
and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading
font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's
TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were
produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand
9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by
Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Sarah Sherman.

The online edition of this book was created by the Safari
production group (John Chodacki, Becki Maisch, and Madeleine Newell)
using a set of Frame-to-XML conversion and cleanup tools written and
maintained by Erik Ray, Benn Salter, John Chodacki, and Jeff
Liggett.
