But want to learn administration both network and internet connectivity. I am using Ubuntu from almost 2 years but want to learn networking in linux from basics. If any one can guide me, please give me the links or contact of person who can help me. 1) If one feels intimidated about the right way to ask help on PLUG, we need to change something. 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=9788173664670ref=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=9788120328235ref=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=9788184040760ref=2007d30a-ea48-4910-aa46-04b0ca152e59 Hope that helps. warm regards, shyam ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

1) If one feels intimidated about the right way to ask help on PLUG, we need to change something. Thats not what PLUG was setup for. In addition to that PLUG's mail filter also need to be relaxed Two things : I keep getting your message was rejected due to Suspicious header I use standard Gmail web interface, and most times respond to a thread rather than new thread. I don't know how to fix this, so I have stopped responding. My posts have been rejected because of top posting So not only new people are intimidated about asking for help, no so new people at times are prevented from helping/responding. I think this too needs to change -Mandar P.S: Copying shyamgopal individually since this post itself may be rejected/lost :) ___ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List

I have not experienced this kind of filtering in any other LUG mailing list. Elsewhere, there is auto correction by list members if anyone abuses the terms and conditions of membership. Coming to Rohini's query, I would also recommend several of the full featured books that are available @ www.tldp.org. I got my networking funda from Olaf Kirsch's book on Linux networking and it is *free* (as in freedom). -- Arun Khan As a layman, I would say we have it, but as a scientist I have to say, 'What do we have?'
