Free beta 1 software for linux

Chotha is a blog client written in PyQt4. This is mainly for wordpress, will add support for others later. It is having basic HTML tag editing capabilities with saving blog entries locally in the system.

You can also save it as draft in the server. You can preview your entry either in Firefox or in Konqueror. Or else you can click and go to visual mode to see quick preview (without images).

KDE is a powerful Free Software graphical desktop environment for Linux and Unix workstations.

It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system.

KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for UNIX workstations. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under the MacOS or Microsoft Windows.

We believe that the UNIX operating system is the best operating system available today. In fact UNIX has been the undisputed choice of the information technology professional for many years. When it comes to stability, scalability and openness there is no competition to UNIX. However, the lack of an easy to use contemporary desktop environment for UNIX has prevented UNIX from finding its way onto the desktops of the typical computer user in offices and homes.

UNIX dominates the server market and is the preferred computing platform for computing professional and scientists. Without UNIX the internet would not be. But UNIX did not address the needs of the average computer user.

This fact is particularly unfortunate since a number of implementations of UNIX (Debian GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD etc.) are freely available on the internet. All of which are of exceptional quality and stability.

KDE The Desktop Environment

With KDE there is now an easy to use contemporary desktop environment available for UNIX. Together with a free implementation of UNIX such as GNU/Linux, UNIX/KDE constitutes a completely free and open computing platform available to anyone free of charge including its source code for anyone to modify. While there will always be room for improvement we believe to have delivered a viable alternative to some of the more commonly found and commercial operating systems/desktops combinations available today. It is our hope that the combination UNIX/KDE will finally bring the same open, reliable, stable and monopoly free computing to the average computer user that scientist and computing professionals world-wide have enjoyed for years.

KDE The Application Development Framework

Authoring applications under UNIX/X11 used to be an extremely difficult and tedious process. KDE recognizes the fact that a computing platform is only as good as the amount of first class applications available to the users of that particular platform. In view of these circumstances the KDE Project has developed a first rate compound document application framework, implementing the latest advances in framework technology and thus positioning itself in direct competition to such popular development frameworks as for example Microsofts MFC/COM/ActiveX technology. KDEs KParts compound document technology enables developers to quickly create first rate applications implementing cutting edge technology.

KDE The Office Application Suite

Leveraging the KDE application development framework a great number of applications have been built for the K Desktop Environment. A selection of those applications is contained in the KDE base distribution. At this moment KDE is developing an office application suite based on KDEs KParts technology consisting of a spread-sheet, a presentation application, an organizer, a news client and more. KPresenter, KDEs presentation application was successfully used at many presentations.

MKSearch provides a Web metadata spider and search engine.

MKSearch is a metadata search engine that indexes structured metadata in Web documents instead of free text in the document body.

The data acquisition system conforms to the Dublin Core metadata in HTML recommendations, and supports other application profiles, such as the UK e-Government Metadata Standard.

It also indexes native RDF formats, including RSS 1.0. The system has five major components: a Web crawler, an HTML document validator and formatter, a set of custom indexers, an RDF storage and query system, and a public query interface, provided through a standard servlet container.

System composition

The MKSearch system is composed of several other free software components. Further details are provided in the MKSearch development plans.

JSpider
JSpider is a Java Web crawler engine that has pluggable interfaces that can be used to add custom processing and content handling. MKSearch uses custom SAX-based content handlers for extracting metadata from Web documents.

Sesame
Sesame is a set of RDF processing and storage APIs and applications that includes RDF data query facilities. MKSearch uses Sesame to store indexed metadata in RDF format and to search the repository via the public query interface.

JTidy
JTidy is a utility for correcting common HTML markup errors and is used to convert HTML documents to XHTML so they can be processed using SAX.

x2svg is an application to graphically lay out files like DTDs and Java property files as scalable vector graphics (SVG). SVG diagrams can be converted into PDF files directly from within x2svg.

mplay is a console based frontend for MPlayer written in Perl. MPlayer video player plays most audio and video formats. Why use mplay?
Work on mplay was motivated by experience of other console based audio players. Although mplay is a front-end to MPlayer, it extends its functions in several significant ways.
Main features:
- keeps a browsable , sortable and searchable playlist
- provides an internal filebrowser to add files
- provides essential status information
- includes a progress bar
- remembers the position within the track last played before quitting
- shows ID3-info / tag and it is possible to edit ID3-tag
- gives user-friendly output through a colour scheme
- runs as single-instance (provides basic controlling from outside)
- provides basic mixer functions
- provides an own interactive shoutcast streambrowser
- provides interactive help (German/English) for control keys

Gamefu project was previously know as Kamefu. Please update your SVN checkout. No release with the new name yet.

Gamefu is a (old-school) game collection manager and emulator frontend. Gamefu stand for "Gaming All Machine Emulator Frontend for UNIX".

Supported systems(as 0.1):
-NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)
-SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
-GB/GBC (Game Boy/Game Boy Color)
-GBA (Game Boy Advance)
-MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)

Wormux project is free software clone of this game concept. Though currently under heavy development, it is already very playable, with lots of weapons (Dynamite, Baseball Bat, Teleportation, etc.).

There are also lots of maps available for your battling pleasure! Wormux takes the genre to the next level, with great customisation options leading to great gameplay.

There is a wide selection of teams, from the Aliens to the Chickens. Also, new battlefields can be downloaded from the Internet, making strategy an important part of each battle.

Though two human players are currently needed to play (unless you have a split personality) the creation of artificial players and network play are future goals. So, start downloading today, and fight to become king of the garden!

With the ease of modifying Slax to create a custom cd, you can have a live cd with your Asterisk install on it, doing whatever you need a pbx to do. Slast is great for demonstrating/testing Asterisk, learning Asterisk, and with the loading into ram, you can have a very powerful backup if your Asterisk box were to go down.

Slax is modular, so we hope to have a repository of user submitted modules here for you to add to your personal Slast cd.

If you want to help with anything from website design to creating modules and writing documentation, please contact droops (at) gmail to volunteer.

Why Another Distro?

This is a good question. We think that this has a place for 2 reasons, education of Asterisk and custom Asterisk live-cds. The config files have been moved and only the necessary ones remain. They have been rewritten to make getting Asterisk working, for the newcomer, the top priority.
