 BLFS Editor (June 2004&ndash;Present)</literallayout></blockquote>
 
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Preface to Version 6.0</title>
+
+<para>Version 6.0 is a major milestone in the evolution of BLFS.  This
+version provides installation instructions for 357 packages and an additional
+21 sections covering configuration and customization of different aspects 
+of your system.</para>
+
+<para>Changes and upgrades to the individual packages are detailed in the
+<xref linkend='intro-welcome-changelog'/>.  There you will see literally hundreds of
+changes made since the last edition.  In this change log, one name that you
+will see over and over is Randy McMurchy.  Without his efforts this
+release would not have been possible.  I want to take this opportunity to thank
+him for the hundreds of hours he has worked to produce this release.  I
+also want to thank the other editors, both past and present, whose insight
+and effort have made this current version possible.  Last, but certainly not least,
+I want to thank our resident XSL wizard, Manuel Canales Esparcia, whose
+ability to format a complicated document such as BLFS is truly amazing.</para>
+
+<para>There are two other areas of change that are worthy of note.  First,
+the license that BLFS is released under has changed significantly.  In
+fact, it is now released under two licenses.  The first license, the
+<xref linkend='CC'/>, covers the descriptive text in the book. The second, the
+<xref linkend='AFL'/>, covers the instructions actually used to build and
+install the packages.  These licenses, along with the book itself, represent
+our ongoing commitment to open and free sofware.</para>
+
+<para>The final area of change is the addition of an Index.  This section of
+the book is still incomplete, but as the book continues to be developed,
+will become an excellent resource for finding programs, libraries,
+configuration files, and references to kernel configuration requirements.  I
+hope you find it useful.</para>
