The following people have contributed to 'sysstat' in one way or another: First I would like to thank Michael <michael [at] roka.net>: He is the very first person to have given me feedback about sysstat, and to point out to me that certain fields in /proc/stat didn't have the meaning I thought they had. This was in 1999! Many thanks to the translators involved in sysstat: * Birko Bergt <birko.bergt [at] gmx.de> for his translation into German, * Fernando Félix Redondo <fernando.felix [at] rediris.es> for his translation into Spanish (now maintained by Muralito <muralito [at] montevideo.com.uy>), * Frederic L.
