`PREFACE TO THE
`SPECIAL EDITION
`
`When OReilly
`Associates published The Whole Internet Users Guide and Cata
`new version of the book that
`log we became intrigued by the idea of producing
`Ed Krols book was written for an audi
`included Internet application software
`ence of UNIX users and we wanted to customize it
`for other platforms However
`problem On UNIX most of
`the network
`finding the right applications was
`the standard UNIX distribution
`part of
`they are so widely
`applications are
`or
`available that you might consider them standard from the users view On the Win
`dows platform no standard set of applications existed We looked into
`variety
`but they were flawed or required too
`of public domain applications for Windows
`much work for the user to get up and running
`
`At an editorial meeting in the summer of 1993 Tim OReilly described the kind of
`Box Sev
`He wrote the name on whiteboard Internet
`product we wanted
`In
`eral months later we saw an announcement
`that Spry
`Seattle-based
`software
`had plans to develop
`Internet-based applications with the
`suite of
`developer
`same name We met with Spry and decided to work together to provide all
`the
`Box Soon after Ron Petrusha an editor at OReilly
`In
`components for Internet
`Associates began work on adapting Ed Krols book
`
`in this book from the original work written by Ed Krol and
`lot has changed
`remains the same
`edited by Mike Loukides
`clear direct
`the basic concept
`Yet
`the culture and technology of
`Ed Krol writes as
`presentation of
`the Internet
`insider and youll see that experience reflected throughout
`long-time Internet
`book
`Eds first
`four chapters provide the context
`for understanding the Internet
`and how it works
`new culture and Ed does
`The Internet
`job
`great
`is really
`introducing the reader to this new environment
`is what distinguishes The
`of
`Whole Internet
`from all
`the other Internet books on the market
`
`It
`
`this
`
`What has changed
`the most
`focus on specific
`in this edition are the chapters
`Box applications
`Ron Petrusha
`describes
`using the Internet
`In
`applications
`Ron has also contributed his own experience
`instead of their UNIX counterparts
`as Windows user to this special edition
`
`that
`
`There was another important development happening at OReilly at the same time
`In 1993 we produced an Internet-based information center called the Global Net
`work Navigator GNN GNN is
`set of online publications for Internet users and
`creative medium that allows us
`represents our commitment
`to the Internet as

`
`
`The Whole Internet Users Guide
`
`For instance in GNN youll
`find The Whole Internet
`to serve users in new ways
`from the Krol book and expanded to provide
`guide
`Catalog which was adapted
`You can use this Catalog online to learn
`to the Internets information resources
`these resources and select
`take you directly to that place on the
`about
`links that
`Net
`
`As we demonstrated GNN at
`tradeshows people responded positively and asked
`it Our standard response was You need to be on the Inter
`how they could get
`copy of Mosaic
`and you must have
`net with the right kind of connection
`longer because getting on the Internet was
`Usually the full explanation took
`lot
`simple undertaking
`not
`
`We knew things could be made easier for users Ideally we wanted people to get
`on the Internet as easily as they could get on America Online We believed that
`people would quickly become impressed by the scope and power of the Internet
`and would become enthusiastic users like the rest of us if only we could make it
`easier in the initial stages
`
`in mindto make it easy for you
`Box was developed with this goal
`Internet
`In
`the right kind of connection to the Internet and the basic network applica
`to get
`Thats why The Whole Internet Users Guide
`tions that you need to be productive
`is in the box and we hope that you find this special edition and GNN valuable
`resources as you set out to explore the global

`Internet
