Better than an xmessage choice window

Regarding my earlier post about .xinit scripts

This is my current setup, probably a better option. I simply pass options as what I want to execute or just run startx without any options for my normal session including window manager.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Anything to run only once and beforehand
xmodmap "/home/whales/.Xmodmap"

Intercepting IP packets using Netfilter hooks

Netfilter hooks are very useful when you wish to intercept, and modify IP packets inside a kernel module.

One great thing about using Netfilter hooks over say dev_add_pack() is that the bad L2 frames, and bad IP packets get filtered out earlier in the network stack so you only deal with good packets.

Now the whole point of the Netfilter hook is to customize what the kernel does with the packets received by the system so here is an example hook function. It simply...

Few months back, I posted a blog post concerning Steam and Linux.
