Free 12.0 software for linux

Sflack Linux is based on Slackware Linux disrtibuition. Sflack Linux is a UNOFFICIAL port of Slackware to the x86_64 architecture. This means is:
- It runs nicer on an amd64;
- It is *not* called Slackware, or any direct derivative;
Do not bug Patrick Volkerding with bug reports. Sflack is not his responsibility.
Sflack isnt a multi-lib distribution, which means that you cannot run 32-bit applications easily.
The Official Release of Sflack Linux by Vincenzo Ingrosso would want to be an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Sflack brings the best of all worlds to the table.
Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the UNIX-like Linux operating system now benefits from the contributions of millions of users and developers around the world. Sflack Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp, and email servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop environments. A full range of development tools, editors, and current libraries is included for users who wish to develop or compile additional software.
Sflack Overview
Sflack Linux is a complete and pure 64-bit multitasking "UNIX-like" system.i Its currently based around the 2.6 Linux kernel series and the GNU C Library version 2.4 (libc6). It contains an easy to use installation program, extensive online documentation, and a menu-driven package system. A full installation gives you the X Window System, C/C++ development environments, Perl, networking utilities, a mail server, a news server, a web server, an ftp server, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, Firefox Web Browser, plus many more programs. Sflack Linux can run on amd64 systems all the way up to the latest x86_64 machines (uses -m64 optimization for best performance on amd64-class machines).
Enhancements:
- This release uses the latest kernel, KDE 3.5.7, XFce 4.4.1, HAL automounting for desktop users, an updated toolchain, and many other enhancements.

Rats! is an easily extensible parser generator for C-like languages; though currently it only generates parsers in Java. Rats! project has been explicitly designed so that grammars are concise and easily modifiable. To this end, Rats!
- organizes grammars into modules,
- builds on parsing expression grammars instead of context-free grammars and vintegrates lexing with parsing, i.e., is scannerless,
- supports the automatic generation of abstract syntax trees,
- and provides a well-defined interface for extending parsers to recognize context-sensitive languages and formats.
Parsers generated by Rats! memoize intermediate results, which ensures linear time performance in the presence of unlimited lookahead and backtracking. As a result, they are essentially functional (even though they are implemented in an imperative language) and also called "packrat parsers."
Main features:
- Rats! relies on a module system to structure grammars and their extensions. In particular, it relies on modules to group related productions into separate units. Next, module modifications concisely express extensions to other modules and can add, change, or remove individual alternatives in productions. Finally, module parameters are used to compose modules and their extensions with each other.
- Rats! grammars build on parsing expression grammars (PEGs). While PEGs share many constructs with the familiar EBNF notation, a key difference is that they utilize ordered choices instead of the unordered choices used by context-free grammars (CFGs) and other parser generators, such as Yacc or ANTLR. As a result, Rats! grammars avoid ambiguities and support localized changes. Additional flexibility is offered through syntactic predicates, which match expressions but do not consume the input, thus providing unlimited lookahead, and through the integration of lexing with parsing, which greatly simplifies the addition of new tokens to a grammar. PEGs have the additional benefit that they are not only closed under composition (unlike the LR or LL grammars used by Yacc and ANTLR), but also intersection and complement (unlike CFGs in general).
- To eliminate the need for explicit semantic actions, Rats! can automatically generate abstract syntax trees. In particular, it supports productions that return no semantic values (such as those recognizing spaces or comments), string values (such as those recognizing literals or identifiers), and generic tree nodes (potentially all other productions).
- Since some computer-readable formats are inherently context-sensitive and cannot be expressed as PEGs (or CFGs), Rats! supports two techniques for managing parser context or state, thus providing a well-defined interface for extending parsers. First, Rats! provides parser actions to recognize expressions that depend on local context, i.e., expressions that depend on immediately preceding expressions within the same production. An example for such local context is an explicit length preceding as many instances of some expression. Second, Rats! supports a global state object to recognize expressions that depend on possibly global context. State modifications are performed within lightweight transactions, which preserve the basically functional nature of Rats!-generated parsers. An example for a global context is the symbol table used for disambiguating variable and typedef names when parsing C.
Enhancements:
- Release highlights are support for formatting-preserving source refactorings through parse trees, support for parsing and pretty printing Java 5, (an improved abstract syntax tree for Java, and improved support for type checking C and Java ASTs.

Informium provides a lightweight, fully-featured news script.

Informium is an advanced news script intended for use within a Web site.

It was programmed in PHP 4 and uses a MySQL backend for its database.

Among its many features is its ability to add, edit, or delete articles, comments, and users.

Slackintosh is a port of Slackware GNU/Linux to PPC (Macintosh).

Russell Kroll was the first person who ported Slackware to PPC (http://slackintosh.exploits.org), but the project stalled with an unfinished 9.1 ..

I (Adrian) started again from scratch porting 10.1 to PPC, and ive stolen the name Slackintosh...

Please note that this port was not done by Russell, dont send him Bugreports.

I used the the Sources + SlackBuild files from Slackware 10.1. ..but i had to make a few changes:

The new Binutils from 10.x didnt like GCC, i used the 9.1 Version to build everything. The Installer uses BusyBox 1.0 and Linux 2.4 is not included, only 2.6.11.5 (Runs better on PPC .. imho)

Its not finished: Not all packages are ported. Youll get gcc, X, Mozilla, XFCE, Gimp.. but no
monsters like KDE & Co.

The installer maybe somewhat funky.. Missing packages are still listed and the yaboot installation isnt tested very well...

..but you should be able to get it running. It won the WFM (WorksForMe) price. (Tested on a MiniMac & iBook2)

The goal of this project is to create a LiveCD to demonstrate GNOME. The initial motivation was to be able to send a GNOME LiveCD to journalists and news agencies so that they can test and talk about GNOME without installing it, but others have expressed interest as well.

The infrastructure for this will be flexible, so that it can be easily customized and re-targetted- for example, to distribute a version with a custom splashscreen for a specific conference, to change the language for distribution by non-en_US gnome groups, or to change the software set to market to different groups (artists, developers, etc.)

ReZound aims to be a stable, open source, and graphical audio file editor primarily for but not limited to the Linux operating system.
Enhancements:
- Implemented Macros. Now, if you often repeat a sequence of edits, you can record this sequence, and play them back unattendedly on different files.
- Implemented user-definable key-bindings. Now a user can customize what he wants keys on the keyboard to do in ReZound.
- Added a new Remaster action which can "shorten quiet areas". That is, it finds quiet areas and automatically shortens these by some given amount. Its great for
- Enhanced the Burn To CD action. More feedback to the user.
- Included a new Finnish thanks to Uffek
- There is new M column in the loaded sound list to indicate which files are in a "modified" state.
- Updated other translation files
- Compiles with latest FOX releases
- Several other bug fixes and cosmetic tweaks

Bluewhite64 Linux is an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to the AMD64 architecture. This means that it runs on AMD64 based servers and computers.
Bluewhite64 Linuxs goal of this port is to mimic the user experience of the Intel x86 distribution at its best. I will try to include the same software, configuration scripts and so on. If you notice any differences between Bluewhite64 and the original Slackware, dont hesitate to email me.
Enhancements:
- This version includes the Linux 2.6.21.5 kernel with the IA32-emulation enabled, the testing Linux 2.6.22 kernel in the testing/ directory with support for IDE, SATA, SCSI, and RAID controllers, Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, and IBMs SGI filesystems, SCSI and ATA RAID volume, software RAID, LVM2, KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), and encrypted file systems.
