I've designed a lot of RPC protocols in my career. One pattern that's worked well basically goes as follows:

// Client calls: print('Hello World\n')
-> [1, "print", "Hello World!\n"]
// Server sends return value (or lack of return vvalue)
<- [-1]

// Client calls: add(1, 2)
-> [2, "add", 1, 2]

Installing Ubuntu on a Mac

Desktop linux has been late to the show with high dpi support, but gnome seems to be leading the pack. I decided to try again. It's worked fairly well out of the box. Here are my steps if anyone wishes to repeat.

Booting into Ubuntu Live Image

• Download the iso from http://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-14-10-is-released/

• Insert usb stick, umount using diskutil and dd the image. (make sure to use the right devices when using dd, your setup may vary)
