[plug] linux 2 linux networking? Now Heavily [OT]

[Shannon Carver]

Due to my disgust at the purchase of a Linux Format magazine the other
day for $24.50 I'm on the lookout for something else to read.  I like
reading magazines, not for ~$20-$30 each though.  What is this Tux
magazine?? Is it an online publication, or something I can order?

Cheers for all that, hehe. :) Something I must say in front of everyone,
and 
encourage others to do also: I write for Tux magazine BECAUSE I AM NOT
AN 
EXPERT, which I feel is very important as a writer. I became a writer 
because I was not satisfied with the current Linux magazines, most of
the 
tutorials seem to be for people who have twenty years of experience! The

more advanced you are as a user/writer, the more knowledge you assume on
the 
part of the reader, and forget to include the fundamental 'in-between'
steps 
that newbies need.

In the case of networking, I'm definitely not an expert! I have
networked 
Linux boxes with Windows boxes, but when I finally got around to setting
up 
two lin boxes, I didn't have a clue what to do (I just assumed that it
would 
be a push over)! In case you're wondering, yes, all this is in aid of an

article for Tux, and for other newbies, please do the same thing if 
possible. If you don't know how to do something, then you're in a prime 
position to benefit the rest of the community, as your investigations as
to 
how to achieve a particular task will arm you with the 'in-between'
steps 
that new users are looking for, that crusty old writers seem no longer 
capable of remembering! ;)
