gIpc, a tool to get linux IPC info listed in softpedia !
gIpc, a tool which I wrote some months ego is now listed in www.softpedia.com
This is a tool to get all the IPC info.
Just like a GTK frontend for IPCS and IPCRM commands which are already there in existing Linux systems.
FYI, I have already submitted this tool to GNOMEFILES

SCTP, the next generation transport layer protocol !
First of all, welcome to the world of protocols !
TCP is OK but what is this SCTP ?
Simply put, a new transport layer (remember OSI model !), just like TCP but has many advantage specifically made for the telecom industry.
Key features include
1. Message framing
2. Multihoming and,
3. Multi streaming.
Now, do we really need a new transport layer protocol when people are happy using TCP as a standard and most stable protocol on the earth? Fortunately or unfortunately, YES !

Clearcase installation on Mandrake Linux 9.1 !
Once again I dumped RedHat !
Last month I installed RedHat only for the ClearCase installation.I was learning clearcase and I badly needed Clearcase to tryout some stuff. (Specially triggers !)
Clearcase installed on RedHat without any problem. Although I had to recompile vnode.o.But that also went on smoothly.
But believe me, when it comes to Desktop usage RedHat just sucks !
On Mandrake, vnode.o compilation was giving some problem that was why I had installed Red Hat.
The error was related to vnode_shadow_setxattr ( donno what it is ! ) .It was due to some strict prototype checking. (In Make file there was a flag Strict-Prototype… something like that).I removed that flag then OMG, the module vnode.o compiled !
That means, now there is no need for RedHat
