4. Note From the Editor

As you may notice while you go from a chapter to another, this book is a composite document from various authors. Even though much care has been taken in insuring the technical and vocabulary consistency, the style of each author is obviously preserved.

Some of the authors write in English even though it is not their native language. Therefore, you may notice strange sentence constructions; do not hesitate to let us know if something is not clear to you.

In the philosophy of open source, contributors are much welcomed! You may provide much help to this documentation project by different means. If you have a lot of time, you can write a whole chapter. If you speak a foreign language, you can help with the internationalization of this book. If you have ideas on how to improve the content, let us know - even advice on typos is welcomed!

Special thanks to the members of the Hampton Roads Linux Users Group which ensured most of the proofreading of the chapters.
