Residing in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Daniel Robbins 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 to 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 he 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 to be 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, New Hampshire.
