Since there's quite a few systems management related papers included, I thought it worth pointing out that this years papers from the Ottawa Linux Symposium have been posted. Among others, here's a few that caught my eye:
Kris Buytaert's Systems Monitoring Shootout
Fernando Laudares Camargos' Virtualization of Linux servers: a comparative study
Gerrit Huizenga's Cloud Computing: Coming out of the fog
David Lutterkort's Augeas---a Linux configuration API
Edwin Zhai's Live Migration with VT-d for Linux VM
Of course, there are plenty more that look worth reading, not just relating to systems management. I think it's time to spend a few minutes digging into the archives of years past, too.
