I ask again that you change any derogatory references to hackers to crackers. Even though your TOC talks about people like Torvalds, Shimomura (who in his own words was not a hacker) and Bob Morris, your title seems to suggest hackers as bad people. The chapter titled Hackers, Beware! also seems to suggest the same thing.
I sincerely request you to change these references. Hackers work hard to make software easier to use. It is upto people who write books to spread the knowledge.
