  • Groups: Linux; Story Type: News Story
I use open source tools whenever and wherever I can. I returned to college a while ago to earn a master's degree in educational leadership.

These standards are codified in documents called "Requests for Comments" (RFCs) published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Thousands of RFCs have been published over the years, so we collected a few that our contributors consider must-reads.
