LEARNING THE UNIX OPERATING SYSTEM
3rd ed

John STRANG, 1961-,
now finds himself "a consumer--rather than a producer of Nutshells." He is currently a diagnostic radiologist (MD) at Stanford University. He is married to a pediatrician, Susie, and they have two children, Katie and Alex. John enjoys hiking, bicycling, and dabbling in other sciences. He plans to use his experience as an author at ORA to write his own book on radiology.

Jerry D. PEEK
has used UNIX since the early 1980s. He has consulted on UNIX and VMS, developed and taught UNIX courses, been a staff writer for O'Reilly & Associates, and has worked as a programmer and system administrator. He's now doing graduate studies in computer science. When Jerry gets a minute or a month, he hikes and bicycles the California coast and travels to obscure places in Latin America.
