    When it comes to pseudo-Computer Science related jobs like system administration or network engineering, Addison Wesley doesn't come through.

    For real computer science and software engineering, AW is great. But for things like figuring out how to send naughty messages to all your users at once or resetting someone's password, O'Reilly rules the roost.
