Is it free?
Absolutely. The game is made by fans for the fans, no profit is being made from any part of the project. Although we could use some pizzas and coke to keep our mortal bodies running.
That about covers it... a BSG total conversion of FS2 that has just released a demo version. it plays really well and looks amazing. a must for any BSG fan.
Enhancements:

Beyond Linux From Scratch 6.2.0
Beyond Linux From Scratch or BLFS in short, is a project that continues where the LFS book finishes. more>>
Why would I want a BLFS system?
If you are wondering why you would want a BLFS system or dont know what LFS is then you dont want to be here just yet - you should head over to the LFS Project Homepage where all will be explained.
What can I do with my BLFS system?
Nearly anything! An LFS system is primed to become a system that fits whatever need you have. BLFS is the book that takes you down your own custom path. You could build an office workstation, a multimedia desktop, a router, a server, or all of the above! And the best part is you only install what you need.
Enhancements:
- Version 6.2.0 of BLFS has been released. Version 6.2.0 is the complement to the LFS 6.2 book. More time has elapsed between the release of the previous version (6.1) and this one than in any other release cycle. Much of this is due to the fact that LFS 6.2 took much longer to be released than was originally anticipated. Many new packages have been introduced in the 6.2.0 version, as well as many updates, refinements and additions to the existing packages.

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron 1.0
Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is an open-source one/two player combat game, available for Mac OS X, Linux, BeOS, QNX and Windows. more>>
The original Snoopy was a tiny game for the Apple Macintosh, with black and white graphics, but already almost all the levels of the new Snoopy/SDL were implemented.
Snoopy could be played by two opponents, sharing a single screen and keyboard, and although it had poor graphics and tough controls, we very much liked to play it.
While we learned programming, we constantly sought for simple, yet interesting projects. If you have ever tried to learn a new language or API, you will have recognized that the simplest way in mastering the stuff is simply reprogramming an existing application, without losing much thought on design and originality.
So my friend reprogrammed Snoopy, in Object Pascal, using SAT, the Sprite Animation Toolkit, on his Classic II. That version of Snoopy features a fully functional AI, network play, but only the first level ( weapons drop).
While he was at it, he also implemented a "missing feature", the bombs, for which there where graphics and sounds in the game, but which could not be thrown.
When I discovered SDL, I recognized that it would be ideal for the job. Running on Windows, Linux, MacOS, BeOS and many other platforms, it is my new toolkit of choice for multimedia programming. It took us several weeks to port Snoopy (besides going to school, but now the work is almost done, with only the finishing touches to be made.
I can only encourage everyone to try SDL; it is really easy and portable (if worked right).

Main features:
- Easy extraction of command line arguments
- Automatic conversion of command line arguments to any type (even user defined classes)
- Convenient handling of command line usage errors by exceptions

The project is able to export PNG files of the current canvas. Elfelli is written in C++ and uses gtkmm.
Compiling:
To compile Elfelli, you need SCons. In many distributions you will also need the development package of gtkmm (in Debian this is libgtkmm-2.4-dev).
Compiling itself is very simple:
$ scons
Installation:
To install Elfelli, simply type:
$ scons install
By default, it is installed in /usr/local. If you want to change that prefix, alter the install command to:
$ scons install prefix=/install/prefix
Enhancements:
- Its now possible to save and load the current scene as well as changing a bodys charge.

The poster plug-in
The poster plug-in is a Gimp plug-in that combines image layers by attaching them in rows and columns. more>>
The plug-in attaches the layers of a RGB or grayscale image row by row from the left to the right. The frames are separated by lines of selectable width in the current foreground color. If the row/column matrix is too small for all layers, the last layers are skipped. If the row/column matrix is too huge for the layers, additional slots are filled with the current background color.
Now, how does this look like???
Lets take the well-known high-speed film of an oscillating cavitation bubble... For a better visibility we choose a red foreground and a blue background color and select "< Image >/Filters/Animation/Poster" afterwards.
Command Line WRAPper 0.3.0
Command Line WRAPper is a tool to build and run commands from input lines. more>>
clwrap can make great things with the locate command, and is low resource intensive. It can also do some not-quite-fun works like multiple configure/make/make install after a fresh system installation. In practice, you have to generate a list of files/directories you want to manage, clwrap takes it in standard input and apply the command you want to apply for each files (lines) in input.
But you can do much more, in fact, its up to you to find how to use it ;).
examples:
- copying several files into one specific directory:
locate myfiles | clwrap -e cp {} mydir/
- renaming several files:
ls -1 ultra*
| clwrap -e "echo -n mv -v {}" -e "echo {} | sed s/ultra/ /"
| clwrap -e {}
- running a specific line in the shell history:
history | grep "482" | head -n 1 | sed s/ *[0-9]* *// | clwrap -v -e {}
- try all tv norms and frequency tables possible combinations with scantv:
cat norm
| clwrap -e "cat freq | clwrap -e echo scantv -n {} -f {}"
| clwrap -e {} > file 2>&1
- reformat source code, after a backup of course:
ls -1 | clwrap -e "cp {} {}.orig && flip -u {} && cat {}
| sed s/^[ t]*$//;/^$/d
| indent -kr -bad -bap -bbb -sob -i8 -l100 {} -o {}.tmp
&& mv {} tmp && mv {}.tmp {}"
Java Platform Invoke API Demo (Linux) 2.01.04
Java Platform Invoke API (Demo version) for Linux, i386. Enables Java code to call native functions implemented in shared libraries like in Microsoft .NET Framework. Written for JSE 1.5.x and later. more>>
Java Platform Invoke API Demo (Linux) - Java Platform Invoke API (Demo version) for Linux/Unix, i386.
Enables Java code to call native functions implemented in shared link libraries like in Microsoft .NET Framework. Written for JSE 1.5.x and later.
Java platform invoke an API that enables Java code to call native functions implemented in shared libraries, such as those in the Linux API. It locates and invokes an exported function and marshals its arguments (integers, strings, arrays, structures, and so on) across the interoperation boundary as needed. This API supports implicit marshaling that makes Java coding with native functions very simple.
To consume a shared library functions you need
1.Identify functions in shared librarys.
Minimally, you must specify the name of the function and name of the the shared library that contains it.
2.Create a class to hold shared library functions.
You can use an existing class, create an individual class for each native function, or create one class that contains a set of related native functions. This class should extend CNativeLibrary. Use the annotation ImportLibrary to bind your class to the native library.
3.Create prototypes in Java code.
Write prototype of a native function as a method with signature that corresponds to the native function using data type map agreement. To identify the native function use the annotation Function. Mark the method with the native modifier.
4.Call a shared library function.
Call the method on your Java class as you would any other Java method. As parameters can be passed structures and implemented in Java callback functions.

Compaq has taken over the maintenance for Red Hat for their Alpha processor - theres a link to their Alpha Red Hat page below.
Red Hat 9 is the last version of Red Hat Linux per se, and Red Hat will stop supporting it soon. Instead they offer a commercial Linux distribution, "Red Hat Enterprise Edition", and a free distribution, "The Fedora Project".
