CREDITS

First I want to thank Ian Murdock for writing the History section. His per 

spectives on those early years have helped latecomers like Dwarf understand

the founding principles upon which Debian is based.

While Dwarf wrote much of the remainder of the book from his own experience,

his fellow developers have always been willing to help resolve his ignorance.

Without the fabulous mind share of the development community, this book

could never have been written.

This release includes graphic snapshots of the actual screens presented by the

current installation. These shots could not have been taken without the use

of VMware

TM

Workstation software. VMware's support of this free software

effort has included the donation of license to use it's MultipleWorlds

TM

tech 

nology without fee. Dwarf is grateful for the quality of the presentation these

screen shots bring to this book, and wishes to thank VMware for all their help

in making this possible.

Dwarf also wishes to thank Peter S Galbraith for making this book available as

the Debian package dwarfs debian guide, and Anthony Fok for his patches

to the layout, and for catching several typos.
