has been working with UNIX systems, the Internet, and (most recently) Linux systems for more than two decades. During that time, Chris worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories, UNIX System Laboratories, and Novell, helping to develop the UNIX operating system. Features from many of the UNIX projects Chris worked on at AT&T have found their way into Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, and other Linux systems.
Chris is the author of all editions of what started out as
Red Hat Linux Bible , which because of the name changes of Red Hat
s Linux projects has evolved into the book you are holding. Most recently, Chris co–authored multiple books in the Linux Toolbox series:
Fedora Linux Toolbox ,
Ubuntu Linux Toolbox ,
Mac OS X UNIX Toolbox ,
SUSE Linux Toolbox, and BSD UNIX Toolbox
(Wiley Publishing). Besides that, Chris authored

and co–wrote
CentOS Bible ,
Linux Troubleshooting Bible
and
Linux Toys II
for Wiley Publishing. Chris also authored
Live Linux CDs
and co–authored the
Official Damn Small Linux Book , as part of the Negus Software Solutions Series.
Today, Chris works as a Linux instructor for Red Hat, Inc. and has achieved certification as a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) and Red Hat Certified Examiner (RHCX). At home, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife, Sheree, and his boys, Caleb and Seth. His hobbies include soccer, singing, and exercising with Sheree.
