Usually I would say, "1999? Forget it", but Linux in a Nutshell may have
aged gracefully, content-wise. BUT, newer editions are much expanded and
better. Much of the old LiaN you will care little about. groff?

much has changed, udev, dbus, HAL, all the security tools like apparmor,
SELinux, etc. And the desktop environments even more. I believe
GNU/Linux moves swifter than any other mainstream OS.

Oh, and check the title once more. If they really wrote "Linix",
beware! ;)
