Some free ebooks from oreilly

Its not a comprehensive list, but oreilly has decided to open out some of their books. link.

Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some
people still needed the information it covered. Or the author or
subject of a book felt strongly that it should be published under a
particular open copyright. Maybe the book was written collectively by a
particular community, as in the case of our Community Press books.

On the whole I think this is a good idea. There are books I definitely want to read
1. Linux Device Drivers (both 2nd and 3rd editions)
2. Unix Text Processing
and to a lesser extent
3. Version Control using Subversion
