Daniel Robbins lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is the President/CEO of
Gentoo Technologies, Inc., the creator of
Gentoo Linux, an advanced Linux for the PC, and the Portage
system, a next-generation ports system for Linux. He has also served as a
contributing author for the Macmillan books Caldera OpenLinux Unleashed,
SuSE Linux Unleashed, and Samba Unleashed. Daniel has been
involved with computers in some fashion since the second grade, when he was
first exposed to the Logo programming language as well as a potentially
dangerous dose of Pac Man. This probably explains why he has since served as a
Lead Graphic Artist at SONY Electronic Publishing/Psygnosis. Daniel
enjoys spending time with his wife, Mary, and their daughter,
Hadassah.
Chris Houser, known to many of his friends as "Chouser", has been a UNIX
proponent since 1994 when joined the administration team for the computer science
network at Taylor University in Indiana, where he earned his Bachelor's degree
in Computer Science and Mathematics. Since then, he has gone on to work in Web
application programming, user interface design, professional video software
support, and now Tru64 UNIX device driver programming at Compaq. He has also contributed to various
free software projects, most recently to Gentoo Linux. He lives with his
wife and two cats in New Hampshire.
Aron Griffis graduated from Taylor University with a degree in Computer
Science and an award that proclaimed him the "Future Founder of a Utopian UNIX
Commune". Working towards that goal, Aron is employed by Compaq writing network drivers for Tru64 UNIX,
and spending his spare time plunking out tunes on the piano or developing Gentoo Linux. He lives with his wife Amy
(also a UNIX engineer) in Nashua, NH.
