## Dedication

This book is dedicated to Ken Moffat.

Ken Moffat first posted to the LFS mailing lists on May 19th, 2001. There he discussed building LFS from the previous February. In the last 25 years Ken became an editor and active on the mailing lists, always willing to help.

One of Ken's avid interests was computer fonts. To that end he created a website that is still active at https://typosetting.linuxfromscratch.org/. He was also the editor who spearheaded the security advisories and he took care of countless security updates and problems during his time as an editor.

Ken passed away on June 26th, 2025. He is missed.
