Default Re: How about the "Good Book"

It's coming ever so slowly. Updates roll in very infrequently. Frankly,
I've been swamped of late with school and work to the point that I
haven't worked much on it, and haven't been cracking the whip at other
people because of it. I'd feel guilty telling other people to move
their asses while mine stays firmly seated. :^(

I've got two chapters outstanding, and clean-up that needs to be done
in the others. Now that kernel 2.6 has been released, we need to add
instructions for building and instaling kernels of this version.

I could use a hand explaining JFS and XFS if anyone's interested, since
I haven't used either of these file systems.

Does anyone think we should split the chapter on file systems in two?
Do one chapter on local filesystems (reiserfs, ext2/3, etc.) and one on
network filesystems (Samba, NFS)? I think NIS also deserves to be
touched on somewhere, though I am underqualified to speak on it as
well.
