1.15 philen 108: McKusick, Bostic and Karels are well known as prime movers at
109: Berkeley CSRG (Computer Systems Research Group) during the 4.3/4.4BSD

122: The Jolitzes built the first port of BSD to the PC-386 architecture,
123: and deserve a lot of credit for making BSD portable to this low-cost
124: architecture. The earliest versions, called "386bsd", were described

257: claims that "After 20 years, this is still the best exposition

259: in illicit photocopies, this is the book that most first- and second-generation
260: UNIX hackers cut their code-teeth on. Recommended as a good introduction

262: Substantially shorter than the McKusick book above.

403: It is common to find that masters of mysterious technical arts are poor communicators. Bruce Schneier
404: demonstrates exceptional skill as a technical communicator. Here is a book about an esoteric subject - one
405: built on a foundation of theoretical mathematics - that ordinary folk can read. Sure, one needs to be
406: motivated by an interest in the subject, and the technical level sometimes requires a more than ordinary
407: background in number theory and the like - but a degree in theoretical mathematics is not necessary to
408: derive pleasure and profit from reading Applied Cryptography.</i>"
