Not Linux


Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our new mirror sites.

My assistant, Amy Kukuk, did all the work again this month. She's so good to me. Thank you, Amy.

I'm going on vacation from July 3 to July 13, and I am truly looking forward to it. I've been working much too hard since taking over as Editor of Linux Journal, and a week or so with no work in my thoughts is going to be a much needed break. Riley and I are flying to Southern California to visit his dad--the esteemed UCLA Professor Emeritus, Dr. Ralph Richardson. We also will be visiting my daughter Lara and her children. Pictures of all my grandchildren are on my home page--they are, of course, the most beautiful and most intelligent grandkids in the world. I am very proud of them, as you can see.

Have fun!
