After a short stint = with Red Hat 6.0 and Slackware Linux around 2000-2001 (I think it was = Slackware 7.0 or 7.1) my journey with UNIX started with FreeBSD 4.5. I = fell in love with BSD and through Warner Losh, Robert Watson, and folks = from a Polish UNIX scene, I became hooked. I ended up working with = FreeBSD for the following 15 years or so. Anyway: the volume of the UNIX literature back then in Poland was = scarce, yet through a small bookstore and a friendly salesman I got = myself a "UNIX Network Programming Volume 1" at a huge discount, and = read it back-to-back.=20 Looking back, his books had a huge impact on my life (I had all his = books, and read everything line by line, with a slight exception of = TCP/IP illustrated vol 2, which I used as a reference), and while = Stevens's website sheds some light on what he did, I often wonder what = is the story behind how his books came to be. It doesn't help he = appeared a very private person--never have I seen a photo of him = anywhere. What was the reception of his books in the US? Did you know him? Do you know any more details about what he did after = 1990? Thanks and take care, Wojciech Adam Koszek=
