Whoa, are you the Bernard Fabrot that wrote intro to Linux books in the late '90s early '00s (https://www.amazon.com/Bernard-Fabrot/e/B004N6XBQC/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0 https://www.amazon.com/Bernard-Fabrot/e/B004N6XBQC/ref=ntt_d...)? If yes, I have to say thank you very much — I owe you my career!
- TacticalCoder 7y agoThat'd be me too! I'd love to hear more about it: you can email me bernard @ fabrot dot com
- TacticalCoder 7y agoAnd fun fact: that (french) book was actually typeset in LaTeX but I had to fight big times with my published/editor so that they'd accept LaTeX as they wanted me to typeset it using QuarkXPress. I knew how to use Quark XPress but I wanted that book to be typeset from Linux, with LaTeX. And eventually they accepted ^ ^
- tangue 7y agoThat's interesting. The fun fact is nobody uses QuarkXpress anymore (almost everyone in the design world switched to Indesign) while LaTeX ... is eternal. So wise choice.
