O'Reilly tends to jump on, and ride, bandwagons after the bandwagons get going. They do NOT push the bandwagon, even though they would be very effective in that role. As a result, they're not super-enthusiastic about FreeBSD titles. They do not seem convinced that they'd get the same ROI from a general FreeBSD book as they would from even a "niche" Linux book. I've been campaigning to do a FreeBSD book for them, but I do not sense much enthusiasm. My last e-mail, containing a proposal that they solicited, has not yet been answered. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
