>If you are using one of the prepackaged Linux distributions, it will
|
|
contain the major networking applications and utilities along with a
|
|
coherent set of sample files. The only case in which you might have to
|
|
obtain and install new utilities is when you install a new kernel
|
|
release. As they occasionally involve changes in the kernel networking
|
|
layer, you will need to update the basic configuration tools. This
|
|
update at least involves recompiling, but sometimes you may also be
|
|
required to obtain the latest set of binaries. These binaries are
|
|
available at their official home site at <I
|
|
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
|
|
>ftp.inka.de/pub/comp/Linux/networking/NetTools/</I
|
|
>,
|
|
packaged in an archive called
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>net-tools-XXX.tar.gz</TT
|
|
>, where
|
|
<TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>XXX</TT
|
|
> is the version number. The release matching
|
|
Linux 2.0 is <TT
|
|
CLASS="FILENAME"
|
|
>net-tools-1.45</TT
|
|
>.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>If you want to compile and install the standard TCP/IP network applications
|
|
yourself, you can obtain the sources from most Linux FTP servers. All modern
|
|
Linux distributions include a fairly comprehensive range of TCP/IP network
|
|
applications, such as World Wide Web browsers, <B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>telnet</B
|
|
> and
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>ftp</B
|
|
> programs, and other network applications, such as
|
|
<B
|
|
CLASS="COMMAND"
|
|
>talk</B
|
|
>. If you do find something that you do need to compile
|
|
yourself, the chances are good that it will compile under Linux from
|
|
source quite simply if you follow the instructions included in the source
|
|
package.</P
