He MIGHT have a point. I was at B&N over the weekend, and there was one nice
[separate] section filled with Teach yourself Sam's books, including Linux.
The section for Unix books had one shelf filled with Linux books.
The top and bottom had Unix books. The majority of that section was MS books of
some type.
