About the Author

Christopher Negus has been working with UNIX systems, the Internet, and (most recently) Linux systems for more than two decades. During that time, Chris worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories, UNIX System Laboratories, and Novell, helping to develop the UNIX operating system. Features from many of the UNIX projects Chris worked on at AT&T have found their way into Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and other Linux systems.

Chris is the author of all editions of what started out as Red Hat Linux Bible , which because of the name changes of Red Hat's Linux projects has evolved into the book you are holding. Most recently, Chris wrote Linux Bible 2006 Edition and co-wrote Linux Troubleshooting Bible and Linux Toys II for Wiley Publishing. During the past few years , Chris has written several books on UNIX and the Internet, including Internet Explorer 4 Bible and Netscape Plug-Ins For Dummies for Wiley Publishing. He also co-wrote several books for Que Publishing, including The Complete Idiot's Guide to Networking (second and third editions) and Using UNIX (second edition).

At home, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife, Sheree, and his boys, Caleb and Seth. His hobbies include soccer, singing , and exercising with Sheree.

As always, I dedicate this book to my wife, Sheree. This book would never have happened without her love and support.

Acknowledgments

A special acknowledgment goes to the people at Red Hat, Inc., and members of the Fedora Project. Also special thanks to the members of the Fedora-livecd-list and Fedora-extras-list mailing lists (who helped make it possible to produce the Fedora Live CD and Fedora Extra CD that comes with this book).

At Wiley, I'd like to thank Kit Kemper, Colleen Doherty, Laura Carpenter VanWinkle, and Laura Atkinson for helping work out issues related to the media and covers for this book. Thanks to Sara Shlaer for her continued great editing and production work on this book, despite moving back to Indy in the middle of the process. Thanks to Margot Maley Hutchison and the others at Waterside Productions for bringing me this project.

Special thanks to Thomas Blader for his extraordinarily thorough technical editing of the book in this edition. Although I got less sleep than usual producing this edition, I believe that his work has brought about some very strong improvements. Thanks also to Eric Foster-Johnson who contributed his formidable tech editing skills on a few chapters near the end of the process, to help bring the book in on time.

Thanks, as always, to my dear family for helping me through this project. Maybe now that this book is done, we should go to Disney World! (Or we could just go to a movie, then start the next book.)

Finally, a special thanks goes to those of you who bought this and earlier editions of Red Hat Linux Bible . Go out and become a force for Linux in your work, home, and community. If you feel like expanding your Linux horizons, try some of these other books I've written:

  • Linux Bible 2006 Edition by Christopher Negus - Contains 12 different bootable and installable Linux distributions on DVD and CD, along with descriptions characterizing those and other popular and interesting Linux distributions. (Or wait for the 2007 edition to come out soon.)

  • Linux Troubleshooting Bible by Christopher Negus and Thomas Weeks - Goes beyond this book to help you safely deploy and troubleshoot Linux systems.

  • Linux Toys II by Christopher Negus - If you're looking for something fun to do with Linux, this book contains nine fun projects you can build with a PC and open source software.
