About the Authors
Justin Davies has been a Linux user since the age of 15, after
getting frustrated at the (lack of) features in DOS. After University, he became
a technical consultant at SUSE Linux, where he became very interested in Linux
on non-Intel architecture. After a stint as a Unix administrator post-SUSE,
he joined the world of the value-added reseller and now works for SCC as an
enterprise solutions architect, helping organizations realize that Linux is
a viable business solution.
After working as a teacher of mathematics and as deputy head of an independent
school in London, Roger Whittaker discovered Linux in 1996 and
became increasingly interested (some would say obsessed). When SUSE Linux opened
its U.K. office in 1999, he changed careers and worked as a technical and training
consultant until early 2004, when he moved to a position in London as a Linux
consultant at CSF, a leading supplier of enterprise information technology solutions.
He is a Council member of UKUUG, the U.K.’s Unix and Open Systems user
group.
William von Hagen has been a Unix system administrator for over
20 years and a Linux fanatic since the early 1990s. He has worked as a systems
programmer, system administrator, writer, application developer, programmer,
drummer, and content manager. Bill has written books on such topics as Linux
filesystems, Red Hat Linux, GCC, SGML, Mac OS X, and hacking the TiVo. He has
written numerous articles on Linux, Unix, and open source topics for publications
including Linux Magazine, Linux Format, and Mac Format. An avid computer collector
specializing in workstations, he owns more than 200 computer systems.
