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.

Besides that, Chris authored Linux Bible 2009 Edition and co–wrote CentOS Bible, Linux Troubleshooting Bible and Linux Toys II for Wiley Publishing.
