title: Preparing for a Masters degree in Distributed Systems
body: <p>I am planning to take a Masters degree from my university in <code>Networks and Distributed Systems.</code> Though I am not sure whether I will be accepted or not, I had like to prepare for it before hand. The only thing I know about distributed systems as of now is all that I read in Tanenbaum's <code>Modern Operating Systems</code> book (which I totally <em>loved</em> by the way), which was very less. Of course I plan on getting his book on Distributed Systems next, but I thought I had ask here once. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any specific book, programming language (most important) or any specific concept of computer science that I can prepare beforehand? I have 3 months time.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be welcomed. Including comments on the course itself :)</p>
