Colophon The tools on the cover of Linux Server Hacks, Volume Two are hatchets, a type of ax. The hatchet is a single-handed striking tool used primarily to cut and split wood. Based on the wedge, one of the six simple machines of physics, the ax is one of the earliest man-made tools. It dates back from 100,000 to 500,000 years, but its simplicity and efficiency make it indispensable to this day. Jamie Peppard was the production editor and proofreader for Linux Server Hacks, Volume Two. Rachel Wheeler was the copyeditor. Darren Kelly and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Loranah Dimant, Jansen Fernald, and Lydia Onofrei provided production assistance. Johnna Dinse wrote the index. Karen Montgomery designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image was created from an original photograph from the CMCD collection. Karen Montgomery produced the cover layout with Adobe InDesign CS using Adobe's Helvetica Neue and ITC Garamond fonts. David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Keith Fahlgren from Microsoft Word to FrameMaker 5.5.6 using Open Source XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Helvetica Neue Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano, Jessamyn Read, and Lesley Borash using Macromedia FreeHand MX and Adobe Photoshop CS. This colophon was written by Jamie Peppard. |
