Most of the information provided here come from research made in HP documentations, files provided with Linux kernel sources, the FAQ of the
Usenet newsgroup news:comp.sys.hp.hpux with a HTML version
available on all mirror sites like the CICT, my own experience on HP products, a lot of tests and deployments realised, and remarks from Linux users as well as many HP's engineers.
Numerous people have contributed to this document and augmented its contents. You'll find the most complete possible list in the
Chapter 8.
I would like to thank just now, without any particular order, those without whom this document would simply not exist :
Marc Hia Balié <Marc_Hia-Balie@hp.com>,
who ordered that document and accepted to make it a free documentation.
Linus Torvalds,
for the Linux project (without it, nothing would exist).
Richard Stallman,
for the GNU project (without it, nothing would exist either).
Nat Makarévitch <nat@nataa.frmug.org>,
for his work as translator and his advocacy conferences.
Xavier Cazin <xc@itp.fr>,
for his talent to convince me to use DocBook.
Frédéric Dubuy <F.Dubuy@atrid.fr>,
who contributed to the writing of that document and took all the work I couldn't achieve, while I was writing it. Without saying he's also the graphist of the logo !
Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com>,
who realised the
wml
tool set, used to manage the languages of this document.
Cees de Groot <cg@sgmltools.org>,
who realised the

which allows to generate all the versions of this document from a single SGML source.
