Gerd Bavendiek</H4>
Gerd has worked as a software engineer with various flavors of Unix since 1988.
In
1994 he realized that using Linux could make his every-day work more
convenient.
Since that time he has used Linux and various GNU-software. He lives in Essen,
Germany.
In his spare time he builds model-steam engines using real hardware: lathe,
milling-machine and a lot of hand tools.
<H4><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="../gx/note.gif">John Daily</H4>
John Daily works for BBN (or is that GTE?) as a systems
administrator/software
engineer. He spends far too much time in front of computers, but when
he's
not, he prefers to be outside riding his new bicycle, or otherwise
exploring
New England.

He worked with Xenix hroughout most of the eighties and has also worked
with many other flavors of Unix over the years, but his operating system
of choice is now Linux. When not working or fiddling with his four Linux
systems at home (which is rare), he might have some time left over for his
other hobbies: his dog (Daisy), photography and Amateur Radio. He can be
reached at <a href="mailto:bduncan@BeachNet.org">bduncan@BeachNet.org</a>.

Research Fellow at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center,
John decided to ":hang up the stethoscope":, and pursue a
career in Medical Information Management. He's currently a full

to complete a graduate degree in Computer Science before
entering a Medical Informatics Fellowship. In his dwindling
free time he and his wife Faith enjoy hiking and camping in
Tennessee's beautiful Great Smoky Mountains. He has been an avid Linux fan,

Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote
giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our
new mirror sites.

My assistant, Amy Kukuk, did all the work again this month.
She's so good to me. Thank you, Amy.
<P>
Our beautiful new logo was designed by our very own Graphics Muse, Michael
J. Hammel. (He used The Gimp.) Thanks, Michael.
<P>
Well, this is the last issue that Amy and I will be working on. We are
turning over the editorship to Viki Navrotilova. Here's a bit about Viki:
<P>
<B>Viktorie Navratilova has been using Linux for the past 4 years, and has
been active in both the Israeli and Chicago Linux Users' Groups.
She started using Linux because of its network capabilities, and then
stayed for the compilers. </B>
<P>
I know Viki will have as much fun as we have and do a wonderful job. Show
your support and send her lots of articles.
<P>
<I>LG</I> will remain under the guardianship of <I>Linux Journal</I> and
neither the web address or e-mail address will change. Articles from
<I>LG</I> will continue to appear in <I>LJ</I>.
<P>
Have fun! Bye-Bye!
