About the Author

Roger Weeks has been living and working with computers since 1982 when he got his first Atari, and learned a whole new world a year later with the buy of a 300bps modem. He is well into a second decade of network and systems administration, and has managed systems running Solaris, AIX, and the various flavors of BSD. Roger has been building Linux systems at home, in the enterprise and in the field since 1997. In addition he has managed large and small networks, from 25-node LAN to multi-campus LAN to international WAN, mostly using Cisco gear. While he uses Mac OS X as a primary OS, he also has been known to use Windows, and will even admit, under pressure, to having been MCSE certified somewhere in the dark and perilous 1990s. He even ran a Microsoft Exchange Server. Oh, the horror! He is currently the senior network administrator for Mendocino Community Network, a small ISP in coastal northern California. MCN is owned by the local school district, and puts their profits back into the local schools. Roger is a coauthor of Linux Unwired and Wireless Hacks, 2nd Edition.
