I've thought of that, but I need some paper. I'd much rather have a
real book.

I know its pretty general, but I'm not sure what else I want to know
:-) I have the Unix System Admin Handbook which briefly talks about
some concepts. I hadn't heard of RIP before reading it. What else is

I'll look into Computer Networks.
