OpenSolaris books
I'm glad to see OpenSolaris books finally hitting the bookstores. (See the OpenSolaris Bible.) I'd like to give a special shout-out to one of the co-authors, Jerry Jelinek. About 12 years ago, I worked directly with Jerry and he was the primary technical consultant on a book I co-authored (Automating Solaris Installations), so I'm glad to see Jerry stepping out front with his technical know-how and co-producing this book. He's a really smart guy and is able to explain things in clear terms, so am sure this book is a winner. (I still need to pick up my copy. :-)
Also, there's some interesting 
OpenSolaris book activity going on in Asia. Check out Jim Grisanzio's blog for info on these books from Japan and China.
The OpenSolaris Bible is a really good book. What I liked best about it is the fact that the chapters are just the right size and it doesn't waste time in getting to the bits it really needs to. I especially loved the chapters on virtualization which made clear all the really cool features in OpenSolaris. I hope they get to update the book for 11 and 12.
