Necessary command to change MTU of Network interface on linux is "sudo ifconfig eth0 mtu 1360" Hope that help and happy Surfing

A development group at ENAC in Toulouse, France, reports that it has developed a proof of concept for adding iPhone-like multi-touch support to the Linux kernel. The group has released a video showing multi-touch effects such as resizing and rotating using Linux 2.6.30. In an email, Boulabiar stressed that the code is different than the Multi-Pointer X (MPX) technology being integrated into version 7.5 of the mainline X.Org server. Whereas MPX is a modification to X Window that provides multiple independent pointers (mouse cursors) at the windowing system level for multi-pointer capability, the ENAC code offers true native multi-touch capability, says Boulabiar. "The video shows multitouch effects that are being supported natively to send ABS_MT_* events from the kernel," wrote Boulabiar. "When making the demos, I have chosen to use general libraries not related to a WM, to be able to run demos on any Linux platform." Boulabiar added that he expects the technology ...

Linus Torvalds announced Linux kernel 2.6.30, adding several new filesystems, including the NILFS2 log-structured filesystem. Linux 2.6.30 enhancements include a local caching layer for NFS data, the RDS server cluster communications protocol, the Tomoyo security module, and support for LZMA and BZIP2 compression algorithms. The new NILFS2 treats the whole disk as a consecutive list of blocks (or "log"), and never rewrites blocks. As a result, all modifications and creations are converted into sequential operations, which are said to be faster. Other NILFS2 improvements are said to include the ability to offer a more coherent historical view of operations, called "continuus snapshotting," enabling users to restore files that have been mistakenly destroyed only a few seconds previously. In addition to the NILFS2 system, Linux 2.6.30 adds an EXOFS filesystem designed for object-based storage, and a POHMELFS distributed networking filesystem. Other filesystem enhancem...

Eucalyptus - Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs To Useful Systems - is an open-source software infrastructure for implementing "cloud computing" on clusters. The current interface to Eucalyptus is compatible with Amazon's EC2, S3, and EBS interfaces, but the infrastructure is designed to support multiple client-side interfaces. Eucalyptus is implemented using commonly available Linux tools and basic Web-service technologies making it easy to install and maintain. Originating in the Computer Science Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara as a research project, the software is now maintained by Eucalyptus Systems -- a company founded by the original authors of the software to continue to the effort.
