- Linux - I love this operating system because of the nature in which this
operating system is developed. The GNU licensing of the Linux is
what that helped the fast development of this OS. For a large

page - EXT2-OS2 is a package that allows OS/2 to seamlessly
access Linux ext2 formatted partitions from OS/2 as if they were
standard OS/2 drive letters

-
Journaled File System Technology for Linux - IBM's journaled
file system technology, currently used in IBM enterprise servers,
is designed for high-throughput server environments. IBM is
contributing this technology to the Linux open source community
with the hope that some or all of it will be useful in bringing
the best of journaling capabilities to the Linux operating
system.
- Linux VFAT
Filesystem Page - The VFAT filesystem is a Linux filesystem
that is compatible with Windows 95 and Windows NT long filenames
on the FAT filesystem.
- RaiserFS - ReiserFS is
a file system using a plug-in based object oriented variant on
classical balanced tree algorithms. The results when compared to
the ext2fs conventional block allocation based file system,
running under the same operating system and employing the same
buffering code, suggest that these algorithms are overall more
efficient and every passing month are becoming yet more so.

General
IP networking basics
Ethernet bridging
- Bridge
Filter - Bridge Filter is a patch to apply to linux kernel
2.2.x that creates a new built-in chain named bridgein you can
use to filter packets before the bridge. Basically, linux
firewall and bridge functions work well but you can't filter
exactly which packets are bridged. The main goal of this patch is
to allow this capability.
- Bridging
mini-Howto - This document describes how to setup an ethernet
bridge using Linux. What is an ethernet bridge? An ethernet
bridge is a device that controls data packets within a subnet in
an attempt to cut down the amount of traffic.

Bridge + Firewall + DSL Mini-HOWTO - Configuring a Linux
system to act as a firewall and bridge with a DSL network
connection
- PPPoE -
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol used
by many ADSL Internet Service Providers. Roaring Penguin has a
free client for Linux, NetBSD and Solaris systems to connect to
PPPoE service providers.
WLAN
- The linux-wlan(tm)
Project - The goal of the linux-wlan(tm) Project is to
develop a complete, standards based, wireless LAN system using
the GNU/Linux operating system. What differentiates this project
from the Linux wireless extensions and other Linux wireless
projects is that everything is based on the IEEE 802.11
standard.
Firewall
IP Masquerading and address translation
IP Masquerade is a feature of the Linux kernel that permits
you to share secure access to the Internet. If you only have one
connection to the Internet, whether it is a dial-up phone line,
ISDN, DSL, a Cable modem, or something else, a Linux-based IP
Masquerade firewall will allow you to share that access,
permitting as many computers as you wish on your local network to
communicate with the Internet simultaneously. Your whole office
(or family) can surf the World Wide Web, chat, do file transfers,
play games and telecommute at the same time.

Network Address Translation - describes the ways to do
network address translation, mentions also ways to do it in
Linux
- Linux IP Masquerade
Resource
- Linux IP
Masquerade HOWTO - Linux IP Masquerade is a form of Network
Address Translation or NAT that allows internally connected
computers that do not have one or more registered Internet IP
addresses to have the ability to communicate to the Internet via
your Linux box's single Internet IP address
Routing software
Software to turn your Linux box to a router which can
communicate with other routers in the network.
- GateD - GateD is a
modular software program consisting of core services, a routing
database, and protocol modules which support multiple routing
protocols (RIP versions 1 and 2, DCN HELLO, OSPF version 2, EGP
version 2, BGP versions 2 through 4). GateD is designed to handle
dynamic routing with a routing database built from the
information exchanged by routing protocols.
- GNU Zebra - Gnu Zebra is
a routing program that supports BGP-4 protocol as described in
RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) as well as RIPv1, RIPv2 and
OSPFv2.
- MRTd - MRTd is a program
which includes multi-protocol IPv4/IPv6 routing daemons
(BGP4+/BGP/RIPng/RIP2 routing software (now includes DVMRP and
PIM-DM).
Web servervices
- Linux Virtual
Server - The Linux Virtual Server is a highly scalable and
highly available server built on a cluster of real servers, with
the load balancer running on the Linux operating system. The
architecture of the cluster is transparent to end users. End
users only see a single virtual server.
- Linux WWW

(both server and client)

Special network packet hacking
-
Linux netfilter Hacking HOWTO - describes the netfilter
architecture for Linux, how to hack it, and some of the major
systems which sit on top of it, such as packet filtering,
connection tracking and Network Address Translation
- NET RAW IP (for
Perl) - a perl module can to manipulate raw IP packets, with
an optional feature for manipulating Ethernet headers
- NetSpec -
NetSpec is a tool that was designed to simplify the process of
doing network testing, as opposed to doing point to point
testing. NetSpec provides a fairly generic framework that allows
a user to control multiple processes across multiple hosts from a
central point of control. NetSpec consists of daemons that
implement traffic sources/sinks and various passive measurement
tools.
FTP services
E-mail services
Virtual private networks (VPN)
- CIPE -
Crypto IP Encapsulation - This is an ongoing project to build
encrypting IP routers. The protocol used is as lightweight as
possible. It is designed for passing encrypted packets between
prearranged routers in the form of UDP packets. This is not as
flexible as IPSEC but it is enough for the original intended
purpose: securely connecting subnets over an insecure transit
network.
- Linux FreeS/WAN -
Linux FreeS/WAN is an implementation of IPSEC & IKE for
Linux.
- Linux
VPN Masquerade - VPN Masquerade is the part of IP Masquerade
which enables you to use IPsec-based and PPTP-based Virtual
Private Network clients from behind a shared-access
firewall.
Linking Linux and Windows
Voice Over IP is a new communication means that let you
telephone with Internet at almost null cost.
