Re: ORA Linux books -- informal survey, publ plans
Just note that IDG Books (large publisher) approached me (and I forwarded it
to this list), asking if I knew anyone who was interested in writing a book
on debian linux for them.
I'd much rather see a debian book put out by ORA, but IDG is definitly
interested...
