Yep, that was Pragmatic Programmers. I know because we bought a copy.
One of my employees has been using it though not as much as following

That's what we're using for some of our work. It's amazing what they're

We're moving all our systems here to Ubuntu and doing the same at one
of my clients as well. I've been a long fan of Debian and Ubuntu is
borrowing its strengths while shoring up its weaknesses (glacial

will be using RR soon. Will let you know.
