Catherine Morris was the production editor, and Norma Emory was the copyeditor for Understanding the Linux Kernel. Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary was the proofreader. Jeff Holcomb, Claire Cloutier, and Catherine Morris provided quality control. Judy Hoer and Joe Wizda wrote the index. Linley Dolby, Rachel Wheeler, and Deborah Smith provided production support. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano using Macromedia FreeHand 8 and Adobe Photoshop 5.

The cover image of a man with a bubble is adapted from a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Edie Freeman designed the cover. Emma Colby produced the cover with QuarkXPress 4.1, using the ITC Garamond Condensed font. David Futato designed the interior layout based on a series design by Alicia Cech. Chapter opener images are taken from the Dover Pictorial Archive, the book Marvels of the New West: A Vivid Portrayal of the Stupendous Marvels in the Vast Wonderland West of the Missouri River (by William M. Thayer, The Henry Bill Publishing Company, Norwich, CT, 1888), and The Pioneer History of America: A Popular Account of the Heroes and Adventures (by Augustus Lynch Mason, A.M., The Jones Brothers Publishing Company, Cincinnati, OH, 1884). Mike Sierra implemented the design in FrameMaker 5.5.6.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.
