""Reading this book has filled a gap in my education. I feel a sense of completion, understand that UNIX is really a style of community. Now I get it, at least I get it one level deeper than I ever did before. This book came at a perfect moment for me, a moment when I shifted from visualizing programs as things to programs as the shadows cast by communities. From this perspective, Eric makes UNIX make perfect sense." --Kent Beck, author of "Extreme Programming Explained, Test Driven Development, and "Contributing to Eclipse ""A delightful, fascinating read, and the lessons in problem-solvng are essential to every programmer, on any OS." --Bruce Eckel, author of "Thinking in Java and" Thinking in C++ Writing better software: 30 years of UNIX development wisdom In this book, five years in the making, the author encapsulates three decades of unwritten, hard-won software engineering wisdom. Raymond brings together for the first time the philosophy, design patterns, tools, culture, and traditions that make UNIX home to the world's best and most innovative software, and shows how these are carried forward in Linux and today's open-source movement. Using examples from leading open-source projects, he shows UNIX and Linux programmers how to apply this wisdom in building software that's more elegant, more portable, more reusable, and longer-lived. Raymond incorporates commentary from thirteen UNIX pioneers: Ken Thompson, the inventor of UNIX. Ken Arnold, part of the group that created the 4BSD UNIX releases and co-author of "The Java Programming Language. Steven M. Bellovin, co-creator of Usenet and co-author of "Firewalls and Internet Security. Stuart Feldman, amember of the Bell Labs UNIX development group and the author of "make and "f77. Jim Gettys and Keith Packard, principal architects of the X windowing system. Steve Johnson, author of "yacc and of the Portable C Compiler.

Linux on zSeries - Linux on zSeries (or Linux on System z9) is the preferred collective term for the Linux operating system and GNU/Linux software compiled to run on IBM mainframes, especially zSeries servers. Other terms with the same meaning include Linux/390, Linux for zSeries, and z/Linux.

Security-Enhanced Linux - Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is an implementation of a Linux Security Module LSM in a Linux kernel, which contains support for mandatory access controls based on the principle of least privilege. It is not a Linux distribution, but rather a set of modifications that can be applied to Linux operating systems and some non-Linux systems like BSD.

Bliss (virus) - Bliss is a computer virus that infects GNU/Linux systems. It was posted on a Usenet usergroup by its author on February 5th, 1997.

Portland Linux/Unix Group - The Portland Linux/Unix Group, also called the Portland Linux Users Group, (PLUG) is a group of Linux enthusiasts in Portland, Oregon. The group was started in early 1994 as a venue to discuss and promote Linux, and is one of the oldest Linux User Groups in existence.

It is the most famous example of free software and of open source development. All Linux releases with an even minor version number (the second component) are part of a stable series: 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and the current 2.6.x; releases with an even minor version number (the second component) are part of a stable series: 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and the current 2.6.x; releases with an odd minor version number (the second component) are part of a stable series: 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and the current 2.6.x; releases with an even minor version number, such as the Linux kernel is commonly known as the Linux kernel, and today it has received contributions from other sources. Distributions of software based on this kernel are called Linux distributions. Versions Torvalds has continued to release the latest development versions, the maintenance of the older "stable" versions is delegated to others, including David Weinehall (2.0), Alan Cox and later Marc-Christian Petersen (2.2), Marcelo Tosatti (2.4) and Andrew Morton (2.6).

Distributions of software based on this kernel are called Linux distributions. Versions Torvalds has continued to release the latest development versions, the maintenance of the kernel, consolidating contributions from thousands of programmers. It was originally developed for the Intel 80386 processor but has since been ported to many other platforms.
