Ori Pomerantz would like to thank Yoav Weiss for many helpful ideas, discussions, and corrections. He would also like to thank Frodo Looijaard from the Netherlands, Stephen Judd from New Zealand, Magnus Ahltorp from Sweeden and Emmanuel Papirakis from Quebec, Canada.
Peter would also like to thank Ori for letting him take over the LKMPG. He would also like to thank Jeff Newmiller, Rhonda Frances Bailey (who is now Rhonda Frances Salzman) and Mark Kim for teaching him with patience and friendship regardless how busy they were. He would also like to thank David Porter who had the unenviable job of helping convert the original LaTeX source into docbook. It was a long and boring job, but had to be done.
Thanks also goes to the fine people at www.kernelnewbies.org. In particular, Mark McLoughlin and John Levon who I'm sure have much better things to do than to hang out on kernelnewbies.org and teach the newbies. If this guide teaches you anything, they are partially to blame.
Both Ori and I would like to thank Richard M. Stallman and Linus Torvalds for giving us the opportunity to not only run a high-quality operating system, but to take a close peek at how it works.
The following people have contributed corrections or good suggestions: Ignacio Martin, David Porter, Daniele Paolo Scarpazza and Dimo Velev
