I'm not looking for tutorials, just ideas for fun/good projects. For clarification, I am still fairly new to Linux--It's been my main OS for 9 months now. I don't think I'm ready for obscure kernel tweaking yet. ;) Give me a few more months! The class is I Sys 648 Advanced Data Comm, though its not really that advanced, imho.

What sort of a networking class is this? There are HowTo's for what
you have listed. I would try to dig a little deeper and do something
more creative than ``set up a VPN'' or ``make two boxes talk over
Samba.'' Find something obscure in the Linux kernel and make it
work. :-)
