[OT?] Book on Java for C / C++ (beginners too)
by Roshan N Baladhanvi 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

All, May be this isn't the right place to post this, but I'll do it anyway. This is because, it is worth it. Title: Head First Java Authors: Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates URL: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava2/ The reason, I have recommended this book for C/C++ programmers (or beginners) is because, one actually *_learns_* from it. You don't just /read/ it. "... It excels at teaching" - Slashdot.org Sure, there aren't many Java fans or for that matter programmers interested in Java on the list, but would be helpful for one or two. After all, if you know OO, learning OO languages isn't too /difficult/. (Yahoo! has bouncing emails to the list, again! :( ) http://www.ubuntu-in.org

by Rohan Dighe 07 Oct '07

Hi Friends, Let me first give you a small introduction, i am Rohan Dighe from Pune and i am a facebook developer. I thought the list would a great place to meet like minded people and maybe share thoughts. We see a lot of buzz these days about facebook, every company wanting to take advantage of the social-networking to put their business forward. I am also giving a talk on the same topics at Barcamp Mumbai2. Hope to meet few interesting people there who are into the same business. Also, since i am a freelancer let me know if anyone wants help in building commercial applications. Thank You, -- Rohan Dighe Fedora Ambassador India. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RohanDighe

[OT] Networking IP Query.
by Rony 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello All, A few days back I gave a small introductory training session to some freshers on networking, ip addresses, subnets, gateways and dns. However after that one question comes to my mind about subnets. Can we have multiple networks with adjacent subnets on a common LAN connection or do they need to be physically different too? For example can we have 192.168.1-31/27 and 192.168.32-63/27 on the same LAN switch as independent subnet islands? Theoretically it looks so. When we set up network information on a host pc, we give the IP address and subnet. However, how does that host know the starting and ending ip of its subnet so that it will not talk to its adjacent subnet? ......For example, how does host 192.168.1.33/27 know that its subnet starts from ip 32 upto 63 and will not talk to 31 or less? Or do the subnets have to be on different LAN switches? Any pointers to this will help. -- Regards, Rony. Knock Knock Who's There? Linux Who Linux? GNU/Linux

Opensuse 10.3
by Rajen M. Parekh 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi, Opensuse 10.3 has been released on some mirrors. Can anybody help get it ? Currently available at: ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/opensuse/distribution/10.3/iso/dvd/ http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/iso/dvd/ Could be available at other mirrors but not all of them have made it available. I checked a few and found the above two have the ISOs. There is no official annoucement regarding its availability. The above mirrors also have torrents available. The ISO for i386 is around 4.1 GB. Regards, Rajen.
