What I meant was, if a 'Computer Recycling Library' doesn't exist / want
to keep them, they have a body of volunteers that may be interested in
taking them home, rather than see them disposed.
Short magazine shelf life is probably largely only true for those mostly
already in the know. Which I assume most of these volunteers are not.
Many things have not much changed in a very long time - Bash, DHCP, SSH,
syslog, the list is very long. If a topic is new to you, it probably
doesn't much matter how long ago it was written. If you didn't know that
logging exists, most any old article on it will so inform you and get
you going. Once you come across it, that is.
