Sometimes, books arrive way late to bookstores, and software gets "upgraded" 
so frequently that software distributed in published books has become 
obsolete by the time it has been put on the shelf.  These older versions 
would be better for servers, like you had asked about.  Those books are still 
good because they teach much of the same commands and configuration 
instructions that still exist in 7.2 as far as the command-line things are 
concerned.
