Introduction: Acknowledgments
The original material was made available by LinuxIT's technical training centre www.linuxit.com. Many thanks to Andrew Meredith for suggesting the idea in the first place. A special thanks to all the students who have helped dilute the technical aspects of Linux administration through their many questions, this has led to the inclusion of more illustrations attempting to introduce concepts in a user friendly way. Finally, many thanks to Paul McEnery for the technical advice and for starting off some of the most difficult chapters such as the ones covering the X server (101), modems (102) and the Linux kernel (102). The manual is available online at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lpi-manuals/. Thank you to the Savannah Volunteers for assessing the project and providing us with the Web space.
