Chapter 1---not so much any more. This was a time
(94) when the ANSI-C
standard had only been out a few years so there was still quite a bit of K&R
C floating around. This was also a time when there were still plenty of
Unix versions floating around, instead of the what? Five we have left now?
(Linux, Open|Free|NetBSD, Solaris).
... AIX, HP/UX, ...
And, of course then there's the argument over whether OS X counts too. So
I think there's still a fair amount of heterogeneity even now.
Chapter 8---who uses csh anymore?
*raises hand*
Well, tcsh really.
Chapter 14---I don't know anyone using NFS
anymore (I think the last time
I saw NFS in a commercial setting was the late 90s, and even at home, I
don't use NFS all that much).
I use it mostly for diskless systems, but even in that application I don't
use it much.
