Ubuntu Server Book Needed?

[Megan Yockey]

Hello all,

Megan with Manning Publications here.  I normally do not post general  
inquiries about books to technical mailing lists, but in this case I  
was encouraged to do so, so here goes.

I'm seeking feedback from the community regarding the interest-level  
for a book on Ubuntu Server.  We've had the book in development for a  
while now, but the project stalled out several months ago, and we must  
now determine whether we should push to complete it or not. In the  
meantime, another publisher has put out a book on the subject, and a  
second book has been announced for later this year (see links to  
Amazon listings below).

So we are wondering, is our Ubuntu Server book still needed? (See http://www.manning.com/galvin 
  for more info.) If you have any thoughts about whether such a book  
would be welcomed, please feel free to respond.  If you would prefer  
to keep your opinion on this private, you can write to me directly at  
meyo [at] manning.com.  We would appreciate any input that you are  
willing to give.

Kind regards,
Megan Yockey
