Gauging interest: sysadmin book?

Hi folks,

I'm looking to see how much interest there is in doing a QNX Neutrino
systems administration book. Currently, the one that QSSL has on the
web seems to keep disappearing. Plus, I'm sure a paper copy would be
much more welcome than webpages, especially when you are trying to get
a new system up and running :-)

So, if you are interested, or have suggestions, please let me know.

Cheers,
-RK

I think it's a great idea. You always have your own slant on how to present
an issue. So I think there is plenty or room for both copies.

Also, since there are new resources to be taken advantage of each year, it
can easily become a book that warents a V2.

6.3 has one and I think it's pretty good.

I - for one - would rather use a hardcopy of such a book.

Robert, if you decide to write the book, I will purchase a copy.

Hi Rob,

There are a lot of complains because of the missing do***entation about
system administration.

So ... I'm sure there will be busines with a sys admin book!

Don't take this as a final word. We do listen to what our customers
have to say, and we are looking at means to provide more printed
do***entation options to our customers.

That being said, we aren't prepared to make any formal announcements
regarding such plans at this time.
