For additional information about the settings and features on your reading device or app, visit the device manufacturers Web site.

To optimize the presentation of these elements, view the e-book in single-column, landscape mode and adjust the font size to the smallest setting. In addition to presenting code and configurations in the reflowable text format, we have included images of the code that mimic the presentation found in the print book; therefore, where the reflowable format may compromise the presentation of the code listing, you will see a Click here to view code image link.

To Sage, Sedona, and Philipthe most amazing kids a guy could hope for; to Sandra and Evan, who are wonderful and welcome additions to our lives; to my grandfather for always believing in me and teaching me to believe in myself; and to my friends in the Linux, developer, sysadmin, cloud computing, and DevOps communities.

Matthew wishes to thank the many people who helped with past editions, with helpful comments and ideas, and with technical edits and both formal and informal advice. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Ubuntu community, Canonical, and Mark Shuttleworth for inviting me to participate in the community, including my role in the forums, a turn on the EMEA membership board, and two Ubuntu Developer Summits, back when we had to travel to be a part of them. Thanks to the Ubuntu All Stars for the chance to jam with you on guitar. Thank you to the entire Ubuntu community for your labor of love to create this wonderful operating system. Finally, thanks to my colleagues at Pearson, especially Debra Williams Cauley, for the trust placed in me and the opportunity to collaborate on projects like this one.
