The El cheapo books Jon is talking about would probably be pretty popular.
There might also be demand for a regular size / cost book, from a "Red Hat
Press."  SuSE has their own imprint, "SuSE Press", that puts out books
specifically about SuSE, so I don't see any reason Red Hat couldn't do the
same.  And they'd probably be very popular, since they would ( presumably )
be recognized as authoritative, coming right from "the source" and all.
