Netfilter changes on Linux Kernel 2.6.24.x

Linux 2.6.24.2 Core Netfilter Configuration Dialog

Netfilter is the packet filtering framework under Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x. We usually use it with IPTABLES under linux user space to build stateful or stateless firewall, network addres translation and of course network packet filtering.

There are some useful change that you can find on netfilter on linux-2.6.24.x "vanilla" source tree. Some additional features from netfilter patchlet repository has been merged into kernel stable source tree.

Some changes that you can easily notice inside the kernel Core Netfilter Configuration are connlimit option and time option.

By using connlimit, you can easily manage incoming or outgoing parallel connection from your host inside the kernel. Time option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running ) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets)

Recently, Adobe has released their Adobe Reader version 8.1.2. Adobe also have it for *nix/Linux system. You can get them at here.

Adobe provides .rpm, .deb and also .tar.gz format.

There's a small problem in this 8.1.x release. When launch it for the first time and go to Help
--> Beyond Adobe Reader, it will complain about libgtkembedmoz.

For this problem, you have just go to Edit-->PreferencesInternet, and type the location where you install your Sea Monkey browser. Usually you can find them at /usr/lib/seamonkey-x.y.z.
