This is a Linux update. I have a friend who's apparently a Linux nerd. Sort of, I might say. He made a Linux patch... a great Linux patch. You better try it out, provided you're into grid computing. What's good about this patch is that it is based on the work of Eduardo Pinhiero's checkpoint patch, which actually works if you are still using kernel 2.4.2, but made possible to work for Linux kernel 2.4.22 by Nur Hussein's port of epckpt.

About slightly less than 3 months to go. Today is the last day for my class to finish the second module, Networking Essentials. My students are using SSH with enthusiasm. There was a major problem just now tho, they keep shutting down others' PC. It has been rectified, together with some added enthusiasm to learn more about Linux... hopefully.
