I am new to HASKELL.Currently I am using shell scripting for Administration tasks and all.Kindly suggest me , does HASKELL usefull for Linux system administration and reporting purpose.?
Yes, it is. I wrote "eddie" to let me leverage Haskell list processing from the command line. The standard Unix tools generally cover this kind of thing fairly well, so it's only marginally useful. Windows users seem to find more use for it. http://code.google.com/eddie.
Do we use HASKELL for network programming and all?
Yup. You can find the code I wrote to extract statistical information
on NCAA FBS seasons from the web at

While doing the fetch is a bit more complicated than using fetch (or
curl, or whatever), the ease of analysis in Haskell and having the
data already loaded when you want to start analysis makes up for that.
