i have a comment or rather a doubt myself related to this. During my college days I was very interested in embedded linux, being highly involved with Linux in college. I joined an 'Embedded Systems' company, but ended up in Microsoft Application Team doing SQL Server, and might be doing some .NET device communications in future. I asked for Linux Device Communication. But me being a CS graduate, the company refused. What chance do I have to get back to the network programming domain after one more year( i have an agreement to stay till then) ?
