For the rest of you who read this and don't get the significance, O'Reilly writes technical, usually IT-type books that are considdered THE MANUAL on all sorts of subject. When someone in IT says "rtfm" (read the f'n manual) they are either talking about the man pages (don't worry if you don't know what that is) or an O'Rielly book. My "sed, awk & grep" book is one of my treasures, I keep the O'Reilly Unix CD Bookshelf on a flashdrive that is almost always with me. Being mentioned in an O'Reilly book makes you official. Adrian can go anywhere geeks are and tell them this and instantly gain respect of all in the room.
