That’s Just Asking For It

According to Slashdot article, O’Reilly is going to be publishing a Linux Annoyances book, I’m guessing similar to their other annoyances books.

I read the first one, Windows 98 Annoyances, and coming from a Mac/Unix background, found it really helpful (it for only TweakUI alone). However, I just don’t see how you could make a Linux annoyances book, or at least make one that’s any good. Do you target a particular Linux distro, or try to target the most popular half dozen or so? Who’s your target? The newbie (who needs the book the most, but who’s going to find almost everything annoying), or expert (who probably has the interesting annoyances, but probably has the wherewithall to fix them.)
