Linux networking

Let me give the basics of linux networking basics here.

1.To assign an IP address and default gateway to eth0 interface,

#ifconfig eth0 10.37.111.3 netmask 255.255.0.0
#route add default gw 10.37.111.1

Heaven!!!

Ultimately, what is our aim???

Whatever philosophical explanations we give as a reason for our existence, like,
1. to make contributions to humanity or specifically to a particular field -like science and technology, arts etc-
2. to attain enlightenment
3.to be an ornamentation on the earth like a beautiful flower or bird or tree;

ultimately we aim the Heaven, our goal is to reach the Paradise where from we are thrown out- like going back to the comforts and security of our mother's womb-.

Purpose of life....

Our Baby : Umer Ali

Alhamdulillah..Shebi delivered a baby boy today morning at 9.06 am, through a CS operation...We had an understanding to name Him Umer Ali, Symbolizing the great Khulafahu Rashidoon- Guided Khaleefah-, leader and winner Umer bin al Khathab and the great warrior and teacher Umer Mukhthar and another great leader Ali ibn abee thwalib...

Of late, even though i was not at all leading a Muslim path of life- No prayers and only fulfilling ways to enjoy; I am able to understand the meaning of many of the admonitions in Quran.. It's warning of those who simply think of Enjoyments in this world and think that once i am died, every thing is over..i.e. I dont have to answer for my time and life in this world...In sura Waqiya allah asks...whether it is Him or you ,who grows the sperm that is put in the womb????..

Asthagfirullah....
