Virtual Appliances are nano-sized virtual machines with Web user interfaces for deploying instant infrastructure and applications.
The are Gentoo Linux based and optimized for use in VMware.
Summary Instructions for using the Base Virtual Appliance
Download the Virtual Appliance.
If you do not have VMware Player, Workstations, Server, GSX, or ESX, Download VMware Virtual Player or VMware Virtual Server and install it.
Unpack the Virtual Appliance zip or tar.bz2 file.
Use your VMWare product to open and run the VirtualAppliancesBase.vmx file
Observe your VMWare console. The Virtual Appliance IP address will be printed there.
Using your Web Browser, open the Virtual Appliance Management console at https://your_ipaddress:8000/
The Mangement console listens on port 8000 and uses https.
Login to the admin console. The factory username:password is admin:admin.
Change the admin password to something secret through Configuration|Authentication
Enter shared storage information in Configuration|Storage
Your shared storage files will now be available via the webserver on the Virtual Appliance at http://your_ipaddress
Enhancements:
- This is a new Virtual Appliance featuring an instant PostgreSQL server and phpPgAdmin.
- It is a fully self contained Virtual Appliance, only 14MB to download, and ready to use with no configuration.

Net::Appliance::Phrasebook is a Perl module for network appliance command-line phrasebook.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Appliance::Phrasebook;

my $pb = Net::Appliance::Phrasebook->new(
platform => IOS,
source => /a/file/somewhere.yml, # optional
);

print $pb->fetch(a_command_alias), "n";

If you use Perl to manage interactive sessions with with the command-line interfaces of networked appliances, then you might find this module useful.

Net::Appliance::Phrasebook is a simple module that contains a number of dictionaries for the command-line interfaces of some popular network appliances.

It also supports the use of custom phrasebooks, and of hiearchies of dictionaries within phrasebooks.

Virtual Appliances are nano-sized virtual machines with Web user interfaces for deploying instant infrastructure and applications. They are Gentoo Linux based and optimized for use in VMware and Xen.
Virtual Appliances are free to download and use, and you can choose from a simple Web server, an Apache Tomcat server, a MySQL server, and a PostgreSQL server.
Enhancements:
- This Virtual Appliance server runs Cacti, which is a network graphing solution based on RDDTool.
- It is used to provide real-time and historical visualization of network activities.
- The Cacti Server includes onboard MySQL and PHPmyAdmin in a 40MB download package to run under any VMWare product or VirtualPC.
- As with other Virtual Appliances, this Cacti Server can use Virtual Hard drives automatically, which allows for a database of any practical size.

Alpha Shooter is a 3D OpenGL first-person shooter game with a sci-fi setting.
Alpha Shooter was born as a project for the Computer Graphics course at the University of Bologna.
The main objective was to develop a very simple 3D game using the OpenGL, GLU and GLUT libraries only (and some creativity). Emphasis was not placed on the game itself, rather on learning how to use the libraries to produce a 3D environment and interact with it; it was thus required to build a suitable scenery using polygonal meshes and quadric surfaces, appropriate textures and materials, lights, and effects.
According to my personal taste I chose a sci-fi setting, trying to reproduce an environment that could remind players of a warehouse or loading area located inside a space ship or space station, like those often seen in movies or commercial videogames (of course I was aware of the limits of my implementation). I focused development on a single room, with an outside view, for ease of development (it was my very first attempt at graphics programming) and because it was enough to make use of a wide set of elements of OpenGL, consistently with the project requirements.
The game I wrote was inspired to the First Person Shooter genre, in which the player can move around in a 3D environment, looking around freely through the eyes of the played character, interacting (in very limited ways) with some of the objects present, shooting crates and barrels and some holographic targets.
I had a lot of fun creating that simple game, so after I got my Masters Degree I decided it would be a waste to just leave it hidden in some obscure directory at home; it is now here, released as Free Software, so that I can keep working on it and improving it, with help from whoever will be interested, in the hope that it will be useful as an example on how to get started in computer graphics and games development.
Enhancements:
- Binary packages were created for all supported operating systems, including a Windows installer, an i386 Debian Linux package, and a PowerPC Mac OS X DMG disk image.
- Additionally, the improved persistent mouse movement mode uses a dynamic mouse cursor that shows direction and speed of rotation, making that movement mode more intuitive and useful.
- Several minor bugs have also been fixed.
