What's going on at O'Reilly?
I got the great "Essential System Administration" by Æleen Frisch via interlibrary loan this week. It was published in 2002 and is really not all that useful in 2008. I've been keeping an eye on publishing company O'Reilly, and it looks like when it comes to system-administration books in general, and Linux books in particular, things have slowed down quite a bit.
There's Carla Schroder's networking book, yet another Ubuntu book about to come out, "Linux System Administration," but little else, especially in the year 2008.
Is there no market for Linux system books? Especially ones that don't focus on Ubuntu? I'd like O'Reilly to put out some meaty books, but they seem to be all over the place and not doing OS books at all.
