Hello Everyone,
Well, I am moving toward an important milestone in my computing carries. Let me make a confession that I was a 1337 , A script kiddie..But I dont want to be a 1337 anymore. I want to be a real hacker, The one that has thirst for Knowledge. I have developed potential in myself for reading and alots of reading...and i want to say Thank u all, because its all because of this forum, where i came to know what is actually a hacker, and i ll be proud one day when someone will call me HaCkEr!!!
Now I am asking for some suggestions from the gurus!!!

1) I am shifting to Red Hat Linux, I have gone through some tutorial of shell scripting, some documentation about configuring servers on Linux Box, but i am still worried about some basic stuff in Linux. What if i w ant to use some Microsoft product on Linux Box like MSN Messenger, and what else should i be doing on a linux machine as i have no network that i can administre, so comments from the gurus required.
2) I am planning to take up a serious project that involves computer systems and Artifical Intelligience.Computer system part is dominant.It is also an academic exercise. Project should be something like that i could continue in my final year project as well. I thought to develop an interface with a 9v motor and control the motor's speed. And then I will continue my this project as a final year project for developing a mechanical arm. But i also want some suggestion for a project that is like coding something integrating an OS administration and Networks. That would be great, If someone recomends me a project like this.
I hope for alots of anticpation,
Thank you very much
Have Fun,
bye,
