Free 5.2.1 software for linux

CeeMedia is a program for cataloguing your movie collection.
It can retrive info and cover images from places such as Amazon, IMDb and All Movie Guide, and if thats not enough, you can write your own plugin for your favorite movie-site.
It also generally tries to provide the user with the most comfortable interface available for the task, while trying to follow the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines.
Main features:
- Search Amazon, IMDb and All Movie Guide for movie info and reviews
- Fetch movie covers from Amazon and All Movie Guide
- Keep track of the myriads of features on your DVDs
- Search (filter) the collection by title, director, genre, etc.
- Cache internet-searches for fast future searches
- It has a nice and simple interface
- Its very stable (I have yet to experience a crash)
- Comes with a user friendly installation program

GDC is a D language front end for the GNU Compiler Collection. GDC supports a number of targets and nearly all features of Digital Mars D.
GDC works with GCC versions 3.3.x, 3.4.x, and 4.0.x.
Linux (tested on Fedora Core 5 x86 and PowerPC)
Mac OS X 10.3.x, 10.4.x
FreeBSD 5.2.1
Cygwin
MinGW
AIX (tested on 5.1)
SkyOS (incomplete)
More targets will be supported in the future. The compiler should already work on most 32-bit targets, but the runtime library must be modified to support garbage collection for specific operating systems.
Enhancements:
- Added support for 64-bit targets
- Added multilib support
- Updated to DMD 1.007
- Fixed Bugzilla 984, 1013

KWirelessMonitor is a small KDE application that docks into the system tray and monitors the wireless network interface. It supports both Linux (tested on several major distributions) and FreeBSD (tested on 5.2.1).
I wrote this because I like the compactness of the Wavelan/Orinoco monitor in Windows. The KWirelessMonitor systray icon shows the signal quality and the bit rate using a "bar graph" and a "pie chart", respectively.
The tool tip also displays the network name (ESSID) and the power management mode. In the configuration dialog, you can change the bit rate and power management settings of the wireless interface.
It is also able to automatically enable power management when using battery power and/or automatically disable power management during data transfer. By default, it tries to automatically detect the wireless interface.
You can also manually set the interface name if necessary. Experimental: Starting with version 0.5.91, KWirelessMonitor can connect to a network specified by the user (currently only supports unencrypted networks).
Installation:
If you want to install from source, you can do the following in the top level directory (kwirelessmonitor-x.y.z):
./configure --prefix=
make
make install
A few notes:
1. < your_KDE_base > is the base directory in which KDE is installed (/usr for Red Hat/Fedora, /opt/kde3 for SUSE, or try the output of "kde-config --prefix"). This must be set correctly (otherwise the application will not be able to find the icons).
2. If the application builds successfully but it always says "No signal", it is quite possible that your glibc kernel headers and your running kernel are of different versions. You can check this by comparing /usr/include/linux/wireless.h and < your_kernel_source_dir >/include/linux/wireless.h.
3. On FreeBSD 5.2.1, it seems that the following is necessary:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-extra-includes=/usr/local/include
--with-extra-libs=/usr/local/lib
Usage:
To start KWirelessMonitor, simply run the application, and it will dock into the system tray. By default, the application tries to automatically detect the wireless interface. If there are multiple wireless interfaces, the first one is selected. If necessary, you can manually set the wireless interface name by right click on the icon and select "Configure..." (see the screenshot above).
In the configuration dialog, the first time you switch to the "Settings" page, kdesu will ask for the root password, which is necessary for changing the bit rate and power management settings of the wireless interface. If you click "Ignore" or "Cancel", you will not be able to change the settings.
After the settings are enabled, the previously saved settings are immediately applied. Enabling settings and applying the previously saved settings can also be achieved by selecting "Enable Settings..." in the right-click menu. Mouse over the icon to see the tool tip, and left click on the icon to bring up the small status window (left click again to hide it).
Enhancements:
- Experimental: added support for connecting to a network specified by the user. User can enter the appropriate network name (ESSID) and click Ok/Apply to connect to the network. (Currently only supports unencrypted networks.)
Note: Tested on Fedora Core 2, Mandrake 10, and FreeBSD 5.2.1, which are supported by distribution-specific code. For other distributions, it falls back to generic code, which theoretically should work. However, given the quirks I have encountered in the above three distributions, there are likely problems with other distributions as well. Please test this feature and report problems if it does not work.

hbuild53 (hastek build for FreeBSD 5.3 onward) is a script package to help build FreeBSD base systems. It makes sense if you have multiple systems to build.

hbuild53 will work on FreeBSD 4.x - however the base kernel configuration file will not - as of 5.2.1 the base kernel configuration file is too different.

hbuild53 provides automation for some of the things you might typically do after a base FreeBSD installation. This is relatively simple stuff but has saved me time when building/rebuilding/upgrading multiple systems.

This idea will probably make sense to those who build multiple machines, and will not make sense if you work with one or two systems only..

This package is intended to help start a server build (not to be installed over existing systems, though it probably wont hurt anything to do so), assuming you will be building
other applications later as you build your final platform.

This package is specific to FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE onward. It will upgrade your ports tree, install ports, create some customizations, and provide some sysadmin packages, such as log archivers, a chrooted BIND builder, a heirarchichal unix platform backup system, shows how to set up serial console, a new kernel, and ipf for packet filtering.

Each hbuild subdirectory has bits you might be able to adapt into your own system administration.

You will need a reasonably fast internet connection for the ports. Why install ports rather than packages? You dont have to, but I always thought its better to build the software on the particular system, although it takes longer.

D is a high-level language derived from C and C++ but is not backwards-compatible with either. GDC is a frontend for D written for GCC.
Supported Systems:
GCC 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 4.0.x
Linux (tested on Red Hat 7.2, 8)
Mac OS X 10.3.x, 10.4.x
FreeBSD 5.2.1
Cygwin
MinGW
AIX (tested on 5.1)
Similar versions should work and other Unix platforms may work. Although the compiler will probably work on most 32-bit architectures, the D runtime library will still need to be updated to support them.
Enhancements:
- Support for 64-bit targets was added.
- Multilib support was added.
- DMD was updated to 1.007.
- Minor bugs were fixed.

AntiExploit is the first ON-ACCESS exploit-scanner for Linux and FreeBSD.

Aexpl can help you to identify local intruders or users who want to harm your or other systems with well known tools.

Aexpl uses the dazuko kernel-module and md5 hashes (signatures are planed) to identify bad files when they are created or used by listenning to the kernel file systemcalls. So you can immediately interact with the file and fileowner.

AntiExploit has been successfully tested with the following configurations:

- FreeBSD 4.10-RC2
- FreeBSD 5.2.1-REL
- Linux 2.6.6 (Debian Woody)
- Linux 2.4.25 (Debian Sarge)
- Linux 2.4.22 (Slackware 9.1)

Install

1: Download the latest version of AntiExploit
2: Extract the tarball
3: Build and install dazuko (read the README for further instructions)
4: ./configure [options]
5: make
6: Edit etc/aexpl.conf to fit your needs
7: make install (use GNU make on FreeBSD)
8: Update your exploit-database (aexpl -u "path to aexpl.conf")
9: Start Aexpl with aexpl -c "path to aexpl.conf" and check the log file
