I stopped at Borders tonight, to thumb through the book before ording it from Amazon. I ended up having to use their search kiosk (couldn't find the security section after recent remodel).

The store was out of the book, but according to the info page, a new edition is due out in December...

Would it be worth the wait for the new edition or will the old one be good enough for learning?

I have a couple of books including the 800+ page Nagios book. So it would be a couple of months before I can even get around to reading it.

I used my Safari account and started reading the 2nd edition. I've only got a little way in, in the first part of the book (first 2 chapters down). Kind of wish I bought the second edition now. So far it's been an easy read. I expect that to change in part 2.

Really enjoying the book though. Even if I do finish it before 3rd comes out, I'll probably buy third and read that too.
