Atiato,

Wonderful to hear about your journey and transformation.

I am both honored and humbled by your generous words.

Warm Holiday Greetings,

Neo

never saw such admirable wordz for ne one....im damn sure ur "guru" is 200 % worth of all this...

i know i might be adding to the same but...sm times its gud to be stupid then to be shy or proudy ....

ne ways i wanted to ask ataito/neo abt how to start...in a nut shell (and to quote some of the grt wordz mentioned below...)...

Want to be great at UNIX? Get a version of UNIX (Linux, BSD, whatever), build a server from scratch and start building and writing C code. Get Rich Stevens books on system level programming and learn to program at the system level. Write your own server and client code, debug the code, work on interprocess communications, debug memory leaks, build shared libs, build static libs, fix corrupt file systems, etc.

so basically all my how tos are above....
im a beginner in unix....but have written few scripts....but dont know ne thing on the srver side n all tat wat u mentioned...

can u suggest ne site/book...etc on how to learn on server side, craeting servers n all:-)...

wud be glad if u have ne pointers for the same..

regards(for both neo & atiato)
Bhups.
