Can anyone tell me what the colors denote? I was trying to figure that out awhile ago and I didn't come up with anything.

StrongBad

I feel like long ago there was a reason for it. Now I am not so sure anymore.

StrongBad

They used to have a guide to the colors, but it is gone.

From what I remember, System Admin books were always dark blue. Oracle in orange. "Web" stuff in that blueish green. Old stuff in white. Palm in silver. Security in yellow. AD in red. Programming tended to be pink.

Hmm good to know, if you scroll down on the second link you sent they give a rough topic based outline, but there is a lot of overlap so I was just wondering.
