W. Richard Stevens was famous for the quality of his writings
and teaching on Unix (especially networking issues).

He died in 1999 -- see an obituary at

  http://dan.drydog.com/6bone/w.richard.stevens.obituary.html

but his resuscitated personal website is still alive:

  http://www.kohala.com/start

(it was originally just www.kohala.com). You can see the list
of his publications etc. there.
