I am a windows xp home user and for awhile I have been thinking about changing my OS, the only problem is that I don't know where to start. Is it called Unix or Linux? Are they the same thing? It's really confusing.
I would really appreaciate some help on this. I have looked all over the Internet for some advice and so decided on joining this forum in the hope I will get some help. I think my main problem is that I don't really understand what it is all about. I know it's a different operating system but that's about it. Another confusing aspect of wanting to change is that there seems to be quite alot of different versions that are available depending on each individuals preference...which makes it even more confusing. Please help. You can contact me by email (mark_cameron82@hotmail.com) or on MSN messenger if I'm online at the time. I am at college alot and I work in the evenings but whenever I can I am tinkering around on my computer, so most nights I'll be about. Cheers for reading.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a RAW TCP SYN packet and send it from one Linux machine to another. I know the packet I have created is well formed and is received by the peer.
Now what I want is to get an ACK for my SYN. I want the peer's Network protocol stack to send me an ACK for that. I know... (17 Replies)
