I know what you mean by books and their availability. My situation is even a bit more acute since the books I want/need are often available....but only in Chinese. So, I do have to suffer while I wait for the UPS guy to deliver from Amazon. > The way my mind works I like to understand the fundamentals, but with > networking I've jumped in further.

I still feel that sometimes this list is over used for topics that can better be discussed elsewhere. I just don't feel this list is the proper place to discuss general networking theory/practice.
