About the Authors
Jon Masters is a 25-year-old British-born Linux kernel engineer, embedded systems
specialist, and author who lives and works in the United States for Red Hat.
Jon made UK history by becoming one of the youngest University students the
country had ever seen, at the tender age of just 13. Having been through college
twice by the time his peers were completing their first time around, and having
been published over 100 times in a wide range of technical magazines, journals
and books, Jon went on to work for a variety of multinational technology companies.
He has worked extensively in the field of Embedded Systems, Enterprise Linux
and Scientific instrumentation and has helped design anything and everything
from Set Top Boxes to future NMR (MRI) imaging platforms.
When not working on Enterprise Linux software for Red Hat, Jon likes to drink
tea on Boston Common and read the collective works of Thomas Paine and other
great American Revolutionaries of a bygone age. He dreams of a time when the
world was driven not by electrons, but by wooden sailing ships and a universal
struggle for the birth of modern nations. He plays the violin, and occasionally
sings in choral ensembles, for which he has won several awards. For relaxation,
Jon enjoys engaging in a little rock climbing. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
just across the river Charles from historic Boston, and enjoys every minute
of it.
Jon has extensive experience in speaking about and training people to use a
wide variety of Linux technologies and enjoys actively participating in many
Linux User Groups the world over.
Richard Blum has worked for over 18 years for a large U.S. government organization
as a network and systems administrator. During this time he has had plenty of
opportunities to work with Microsoft, Novell, and of course, UNIX and Linux
servers. He has written applications and utilities using C, C++, Java, C#, Visual
Basic, and shell script.
Rich has a Bachelors of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, and a Masters
of Science degree in Management, specializing in Management Information Systems,
from Purdue University. He is the author of several books, including “sendmail
for Linux” (2000, Sams publishing), “Running qmail” (2000, Sams
publishing), “Postfix” (2001, Sams Publishing), “Open Source
E-mail Security” (2001, Sams Publishing), “C# Network Programming”
(2002, Sybex), “Network Performance Open Source Toolkit” (2003, John
Wiley & Sons), and “Professional Assembly Language Programming”
(2005, Wrox).
