unix/C projects

[Atiqullah Hashmi]

I am a new unix fan and want to know its in and out as much as I can.
With this interest in mind I think that doing programming projects in C
or C++ using unix utilities and functions and some low level features
provided by unix in the project would be very helpful in seeing how unix
works and  getting a feeling of having done something on unix.

I have taken a course on computer networking  and did a programming lab
on "Implementing a sliding window protocol between three nodes on
SUN/OS".This lab gave a good idea of socket operation and features like
multiprogramming (forking etc.).

I want to do some more projects (just as we do term/semester projects)
but am not getting good ideas.

Can anybody on the net give some ideas (name of the programming
projects) or the projects they did during their education.

I would appreciate if you could kindly send me email.

thanks.
