Leon Brocard (aka acme) is an orange-loving Perl eurohacker with many varied contributions to the Perl community, including the GraphViz module on the CPAN. YAPC::Europe was all his fault. He is still looking for a Perl Monger group he can start which begins with the letter 'D'.

linux-2.4.26-google
I'm back from Italy, and I noticed that because the Google Search Appliance is built on open source code that Google have provided their patches to it. I decided to have a look at what patches they are using on top of the 2.4.26 Linux kernel:
- Some code to disable the console blanking (not sure why)
- Added lm_sensors and i2c (hardware monitoring)
- Added Artop 867X chip-based IDE driver
- Added Squashfs, compressed read-only filesystem
- Added num_physpages iocotl (number of physical pages available to kernel)
- Allow non-root port 80/443 binding
- Allow any user to call mlock() to lock memory from getting swapped out.
- Added oprofile, a system-wide profiler
So no great surprises, but interesting nevertheless...

You do not need kernel patches for that. See FirewallNotes [wlug.org.nz], under “Run non-root processes on ports below 1024.”
