Japan is a _HUGE_ market for FreeBSD, so why is O'Reilly bring out a Chinese language version instead of a Japanese or English version. If this is correct, this makes little sense. We, the FreeBSD community, need to bring out our own version of "FreeBSD in a nutshell". Of course, we can't use that title.
