<P><B>Bill Ball</B>, author of <I>Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours</I>, is a technical writer, editor, and magazine journalist. He broke down and bought a PC after using the Macintosh series of computers from Apple for nearly 10 years, but didn’t join the Dark Side—he started using Linux! He has published more than a dozen articles in magazines such as <I>Computer Shopper</I> and <I>MacTech Magazine</I>, and first started editing books for Que in 1986. An avid fly fisherman, he builds bamboo fly rods, and fishes on the nearby Potomac River when he’s not driving his vintage MG sports cars. He lives at Aquia Harbor in Stafford County, Virginia.</P>

<P>Thanks are due to the following people at Macmillan: Theresa Ball, Lynette Quinn, Tracy Williams, Kate Welsh, and Jeff Koch. Thanks also to John Herlig at Gargoyle’s in Stafford, Va. for his fresh roast and Yemen mocha. A big note of appreciation is also due to the XFree86 folks in Herndon, Va., without whose efforts many Linux users would not enjoy a graphical interface to the best operating system in the world.
