Was at the local computer bookstore this morning and picked up a little book
produced by O'Reilly.  There are several things that are significant about this
little book (56pages).  First, it's FREE!  Second, it's titled "Open Source
Bibliography" and while it lists a lot of O'Reilly products, it's not exclusive
to them.  They suggest in their introduction that they've selected the best 2-3
books in each area based on what people have said about the various books.  

There's also an interesting paragraph in the preface that relates to the recent
discussion about their Samba book being online.  It goes like this:

"And this fall, O'Reilly is launching an exciting new venture in online
publishing.  We begin by offering 50 of our books on our web site, with
full-text searching capabilities.  We'll be adding new titles as the year goes
on, and hope to have all of our publications available well before the end of
2001."

Thought some of you might be interested.

Cheers --- Larry
