>This HOWTO is a by-product of many years of experience setting up and
|
|
managing Usenet news servers. We have learned a lot from those who have
|
|
trod the path ahead of us. Some of them include the team of the ERNET
|
|
Project (Educational and Research Network), which brought the Internet
|
|
technology to India's academic institutions in the early
|
|
nineties. We specially remember what we have learned from the
|
|
<EM
|
|
>SIGSys</EM
|
|
> Group of the Department of Computer Science
|
|
of the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai. We have also benefited
|
|
enormously from the guidance we received from the Networking Group at
|
|
the NCST (National Centre for Software Technology) in Mumbai, specially
|
|
from Geetanjali Sampemane. </P
|
|
><P
|
|
>On a wider scale, our learning along the path of systems and
|
|
networks started with Unix, without which our appreciation of computer
|
|
systems would have remained very fragmented and superficial. Our insight
|
|
into Unix came from our ``Village Elders'' in the Department of Computer
|
|
Science of the IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) at Mumbai, specially
|
|
from ``Hattu,'' ``Sathe,'' and ``Sapre,'' none of whom are with the IIT
|
|
today, and from Professor D. B. Phatak and others, many of whom, luckily
|
|
are still with the Institute.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Coming to Starcom, all the members of Starcom Software who
|
|
have worked on various problems with networking, Linux, and Usenet news
|
|
installations have helped the authors in understanding what works and
|
|
what doesn't. Without their work, this HOWTO would have been a dry text
|
|
book.</P
