My New Books

Its been a long time since I bought technical books (around two months). So I dusted my baseball cap and t-shirt, kick started my bike and speeded to T-Nagar to purchase some books. In my mind I had decided to purchase "Professional Java Security" from Wrox publications. But the book shop didn't have a copy of the same.

So I scanned the entire Java and Linux section of the book shop. My eye caught "Version Control With Subversion" and "High Performance Linux Clusters". Bought them both.

Recently got hold of Cluster Knoppix. Thus my interest in Clustering. Also rumor of my company's production server moving from HP SuperDome to RedHat cluster solutions had caught my fancy.

As for "Subversion", it is a Version Control System, developed to use like CVS, but without CVS's bugs and misfeatures. So wanted to desperately try it. Also I have used CVS sparcely. Wanted to have a thorough understanding of atleast one versioning system.
