My prof has told me that our final exam will contain a couple questions on IPTables. This is the first networking class offered at out university, but it is also a third year class.
I am wondering if people could help me think of some possible questions that he might ask.
We only have a half a page of notes on IPTables so the questions won't be very hard. He just showed us some simple syntax of adding rules to the tables, like:
%iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -p TCP -j ACCEPT
and so on, and ideas on what I should study?
Take a look at the iptables cheat sheet.
If you want more details, this might come in handy: Quick HOWTO: iptables.

There are a lot of opensources build systems, and most of them are multiplatform, multilanguage, cross-everything.
I'm not interested on which one is the best (which would be offtopic by the way), but I'd like to know which ones are used most.
So, do we have any kind of statistic about their actual usage? Could you provide any link?
As there is no tracking process, I doubt that this kind of information is available. You could check the number of artifacts in maven central for example, but it won't tell that much about actual usage and may be viewed rather as a trend. Some build tool developers list some of the most reknowned users on their sites, most don't

I think that "Operating System Concepts" (silberschatz, galvin and gagne) is a very good book for beginners to understand the basics of the operating systems

Where can I get man pages with examples. I can improve my coding knowledge.
There is no better place than /usr/share/man/man3. There are tons and tons of examples there (section 3 is the API section, which I think is what you want; your description wasn't really clear).
Nothing beats a good book. Michael Kerrisk, the Linux manpages maintainer, has published a book titled "The Linux Programming Interface". There are also lots of older books on Unix programming, the most famous of them is probably "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", by the late W. Richard Stevens.

I realize that there was a similar question asked here, but this is over a year and a half old and the landscape has changed quite a bit. I'm not sure the accepted answer would be the same if asked today, so I'd like to get people's feedback.
There seems to be a lot of buzz going on for http://www.rstudio.org. Have people changed over from previous IDE's to this one recently? What were the impacts of this change (good and bad). Has anyone done an analysis of the landscape recently. What are your thoughts on the prior list?
This question is probably best as a wiki that people can edit as new IDEs come out for R.
I just made the switch to Rkward, which I enjoy a lot more than what I was using earlier: notepad++ with NppToR. I hadn't heard of RStudio -- I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Every day I write Web applications, and I have a good understanding of HTTP. However I want to close the gaps in my knowlege of network architecture. I'm not a sysadmin, so a hard-core sysadmin reference book would probably be a bit much for me, but I'm also not looking for a book on how to write code in any way -- I'm interested in the mechanisms underneath all that fun Web code I write.
Any recommendations?
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols by W. Richard Stevens is the book you want to read.

Also by the great W. Richard Stevens is Unix Network Programming (http://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Network-Programming-Networking-Sockets/dp/013490012X).
