Linux Networking Commands

I have done a lot of research on this but I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys on the basic Linux/Unix network commands one should keep up to date with. While doing simple linux task as work I want to someday be very strong at linux and networking. I think I have a good use of ifconfig, iwconfig and ethtool but if someone can provide me with some insight on what a really good linux person would know I can set some small goals to eventually reach that level. Thanks

Give this a shot... I can't take credit... not sure where I stumbled on this...

Nice as a desktop background.

I posted this in the Linux+ group a while back. I have it as a background on my CentOs machine. Its CentOS, but actually acts as a head node for a Rocksclusters.org

I set it up a few weeks ago to test a few things. I used my Acer Netbook to pixie boot off the head node and load it software. I now have a powerful two node cluster with my Netbook as the only client.
