14-3The serious problem with books like this one is that they are out-of-date
before they get published. Where they arte useful is when you are using
older hardware for something such as providing an Internet server for your
personal LAN, or when you are going to try your hand at building a Beowulf
Cluster from some cheap old machines. For example you could recently have
bought some well-specified PII 350 machines at about£125 inclusive
of delivery and tax. If you are going to do your own maintenance of
such hardware, this book or one like it will be valuable. If you need
up-to-date information books will not be that much use.
