Thats not what PLUG was setup for. 2) Now to answer Rohini's question: 2.1) If you want to learn fundas of networking so that you can configure networking on Linux machines in Prabodhini, **first** book to start with would be Craig Hunt's seminal book: http://www.flipkart.com/tcp-ip-network-administration-3-ed-756-pages-hunt-8173664676/p/itmdyu7ncqk5mvdn?pid=9788173664670&ref=27ce54f5-3f6b-4a1e-a6f3-2d798e54bbe6 2.2) After you read the above book, choose a Linux flavour you want to install and read documentation specific to that Linux flavor. For example, if I chose to install Ubuntu Gnu-Linux server ver 12.04LTS, I would start by looking up this: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/index.html 2.3) If you want to teach a formal "Networking fundamentals and programming" course (1 sem), then you should read the book pointed out by Aditya (Andrew Tanenbaum) and then these two books: (both vol 1 and 2) http://www.flipkart.com/unix-network-programmingthe-sockets-networking-api-812032823x/p/itmdytcz7jpfk49y?pid=9788120328235&ref=10c80231-89e9-4a3e-bb9d-02c9929d93e5 2.4) Finally, if you want to work on Linux networking stack internals, this book is indespensible: http://www.flipkart.com/understanding-linux-network-internals-8184040768/p/itmdyusdu9waymgg?pid=9788184040760&ref=2007d30a-ea48-4910-aa46-04b0ca152e59 Hope that helps. warm regards, shyam .... _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
