Free be usable software for linux

CoverHunter will scan your digital music albums and try to get the cover image for each one.

If more than one cover was found, you can choose which one will be set as the cover for that album. These covers are usable for XMMS, KDE, GNOME, etc.

First, there is a daemon (ircbase) that runs on a Unix server and performs actual IRC client operations. It listens on an assigned TCP port for connections from the actual user, which will run another program. This other program (irc.exe for now) can run on Windows, and prThere is now limited support for connecting with conventional IRC clients.Povides graphical user interaction to the features contained in ircbase.
There is now limited support for connecting with another IRC clients. Such a solution will not be able to take full advantage of the features in ircbase, and is also currently rather flakey and ad hoc, but its provided anyway for people that want it while they wait for the native clients to be usable enough. When you do this, ircbase will behave like an advanced autonomous detachable ircbouncer.
Set up your IRC client to connect to the ircbase like it was an IRC server. The nick you setup in the client will map to ircbase session ID, and ircbase will connect to the actual IRC server with the session parameters (including nick) from the configuration file. It will then do some tricks to convince the IRC client of the actual nick in use after connecting/attaching, to avoid confusing it.
(The nick is used to select session ID rather than anything else in order to make it easy to use with ircII, which can specify the nick on the command line or in the /server and /window server commands.)
If you need to issue a command for interpretation by the ircbase parser, you can prefix it with /QUOTE I, e.g. for accepting a DCC on the ircbase end, use /QUOTE I /dcc get nick
and for changing servers, /QUOTE I /server irc.server
Main features:
- The above structure has the advantages that you can run ircbase on a shell account (warning, advertisement: Arctic Net can provide these) idling permanently on the IRC server very much like a bot, and yet, the user can, whenever he comes online, and from wherever he is, connect to it and use it for IRC-ing like any other IRC client.
-
- The ircbase keeps track of the most recent events, so when he does this, he will automatically receive its "scrollback buffer", so he can quickly catch up with what has happened just before he arrived. This is also an advantage if his modem is unstable and often drops the connection, since this way he wont miss anything, no matter how thoroughly the user machine itself crashes (provided he comes online again before the buffer is completely flushed, of course, but this buffer can be arbitrarily sized).
-
- Since ircbase allows scripts to run unattended at all times, it is meant to be able to replace any dedicated bots. Bots are a menace to the net, with their use of resources better spent on human clients, and the net would do so much better without them. With this system, even the most diehard childish moronic obnoxious bot-lover can do without them, simply because our design is superior, when completed.
-
- A system for interconnecting ircbases into an op-net (to replace the traditional bot-net) is also planned.
Enhancements:
- Finally gave a license to ircbase (irccli is still undecided, though).
- Finally ircbase is now under the GNU General Public License, version 2.

Grapple is a network layer, designed for games but usable anywhere. However, it also allows for more. It features simple client-server networking that keeps all clients aware of all other clients, passworded servers, and data transfer via TCP, UDP, or reliable UDP.
Advanced features include network messaging via push, pull, or a combination, multiple methods of querying users, user groups for client bandwidth saving, network load reacting data transmission and retransmission, background pinging to monitor network states, server failover, and a fully functional lobby system.
Enhancements:
- This release improves the UDP layer to work through NAT in most situations, fixes server failover issues, and increments the internal protocol number due to changes in the UDP protocol.

Smartmenu is a menuing application for Lirc. Its purpose is to make use of an infra-red remote controller with a Linux box as easy and smart as possible.
It handles displaying and browsing menus in a way that is usable for typical user of a remote controller.
Such a user must be able to use the menus when he is a few meters away from the monitor or even with monitor turned off.
Enhancements:
- This release provided better control of lirc key repeating.

wbmtranslator is a translation assistant for webmin/usermin modules.

wbmtranslator module is intended for webmin modules translators. It may not be usable with text only browsers like lynx or w3m. Also, please activate javascript in your browser settings.

Created by Xperience, Inc. for use in our Open Source Projects (XIWA, SandSurfer) it is in a usable state (helper applications are not yet completed but will be in the near future) and so is being released to allow people to start trying out our projects, etc.

The PCX Portal provides management of Companies, Users and Applications. When you login, you are presented with your desktop and from there you can select an App to work with.

Bongo is an easy-to-use mail and calendar system, offering a simple yet powerful user interface. Bongo project goal is to make sharing, organisation, and communication simpler, quicker, and more useful.
What is Bongo?
Were creating fun and simple e-mail & calendaring software. We want our inboxes to be usable again: e-mail should be a useful tool, not a productivity killer. We want to be able to use our calendars to organise our lives, and we want other people to be able to interact with us through it whether they use Bongo or not.
Although Bongo is a young project, the software itself has a long pedigree and we are simply amongst the latest custodians. But while the core code isnt new, the ideas we have and the direction were taking are. Were not trying to create a "groupware" system to compete with well-known proprietary systems, or create an "enterprise platform" which encompasses everything from document management to project planning.
Best of all, Bongo is free (as in "freedom") software developed by an open community: we pride ourselves on being friendly and welcoming, and we see our project as being complementary to similar community projects.
Enhancements:
- This release is another source-only release intended for developers and very early testers, but it includes major new features such as native anti-spam and anti-virus integration and a brand-new Web administration system.
- Many structural changes have also been implemented, and less obvious improvements such as SMTP encryption are included, as are many bugfixes.
