Free choose from software for linux

grub-choose-default is a simple but handy GUI to set the grub default for the next boot.

Control Grub Default through a GUI

Do you have a dual boot system? Isnt it annoying when you want to reboot from Linux into Windows or vice-versa, and you have to wait for the machine to shut down, BIOS to initialize just so that you can now select the OS that you want to boot into?

grub-choose-default gives you a GUI that you can use to easily select the next default for grub and you can go and grab a snack while your computer reboots without having to wait for anything.

Its a very simple program that just reads your grub menu entries and then lets you click on the one you want to be the next default.

How It Works

In grubs menu.lst file you need to specify default saved, so that grub consults the file default in the grub directory to see which entry it should boot. That file is then modified by grub-choose-default

Cross Platform

grub-choose-default is written in Python (which is required to be installed at the moment) and works under Linux and Windows.

Under Linux it reads /boot/grub/menu.lst and writes your choice to /boot/grub/default

Then grub-choose-default searches all your drives for a grub/menu.lst or a boot/grub/menu.lst. There currently is no way to specify manually where menu.lst resides, please let me know if this is needed.

NCaster is content management system that features high customizability and flexibility.
Ncaster project supports limitless custom fields, relational links between articles, caching, user levels, a WYSWYG HTML editor, XML feeds, article authentication, a plugin-based scripting language, and more.
Main features:
- Modules: Modules in Ncaster are extremely easy to create, maintain, and edit.
- Hubs: A somewhat different approach at related articles, this new method is vastly more flexible then a traditional relation system. It allows you to bind two articles together and use each others data on a single page. Hubs also act as a relation link, where you can list all related articles associated to a hub.
- Powerful Custom Field Creation: Add an unlimited amount of custom fields. Choose from a single line field, multi-line box, ratio selection, or a custom drop-down list created before hand. Advanced filtering filters your results automatically based on your custom fields.
- Build List Technology: Add an unlimited amount to custom fields. Control the number, appearance, type, and order in which you want your lists displayed. Choose whether to save to your database or to a text file.
- Flexible Template System: Allows you to have full control over the look and feel of your site.
- Cache System: Large sites demand speed, they need to load fast and feed out information to thousands. A dynamic system will just not cut it when it comes to the crunch, Ncaster uses a template caching system that is extremely fast (as low as 0.004) at storing, retrieving, and updating stored pre-rendered templates.
- Staff System: Add or remove an unlimited number of staff members (four levels: Administrator, Editor, Agent, Guest). Each staff member has his or her own user profile.
- Entity 2.0: Exclusive, versatile scripting language used in Ncaster templates. More clear and easy to use than php. Entity 2 is plugin based; new functionality can be added by just downloading new functions from the ncaster website.
- WYSIWYG html editor: Features the raw essentials for posting articles. Can be disabled or enabled at any time.
- Images: New to Ncaster is image resizing and image watermarking. You have the option to pick the transparent color, compression, and more.
- XML Feed: Generate XML feeds. This allows other webmasters to use your content; a very effective way of advertising your sites content.
- Search Engine Friendly: Some search engines do not index sites with dynamic content. Ncaster features some mod-rewrite code as well as short URLs.
- Article Authentication - Each article posted by your members now can be authenticated before they appear on your site as published. This option can be disabled or enabled at any time.

GCount is a graphical web counter and logging script. I developed GCount because I wanted a graphical web counter for a page I was working on. I wanted one that I had some control over, one that offered some flexibilty.
I wrote GCount from the ground up to be functional and quick. I hope that is what is has become.
Main features:
- 100% PHP
- Uses the super small and fast SQLite library
- Many different type faces to choose from
- Reporting available for each counter, know who visits your site!
- FAST! On my 700mhz machine it takes .02 seconds to make a counter
Enhancements:
- Added PDO support for people that have that. That includes SQLite and much requested MySQL. Technically any PDO driver should work but SQLite and MySQL are the only tested ones right now.
- Better debugging if something does go wrong
- Removed a duplicate counter thanks to Scott Stevensons good eye.

Alien Swarm is an overhead view tactical shooter modification for Unreal Tournament 2004. Alien Swarm is set in a distant future, the players take the role of a Commander in the Interstellar Armed Forces.

They must guide their squad of marines through Swarm infested colonies, overrun bases and outposts, to achieve a variety of objectives. Featuring Assault Rifles, Heat Tracking Guns, Sentry Guns, Flamethrowers and more.

The top down, tactical shooter can be played by a maximum of 6 players in a co-op style. (You can play 8 in total, but then the game gets a bit crowded so we made it 6 by default.) Choose from eight marines, with different specialties - medical, technical, explosive or weapons specialists.

It features a single mission mode and a campaign. Fight off the Swarm to increase your skills and earn medals for extra skill points.

spell-karamba is a desktop applet for SuperKaramba that spells the typed words - letter by letter.

You can choose from deutsch, english, american, international and NATO spelling.

Installation:

Actually the installation is pretty easy:

Copy all files from the tarball into a new folder. A good choice would be $HOME/kde3/share/apps/superkaramba/themes/dwd. Thats all. You start the theme from a shell by "superkaramba spell.theme". If you have a superkaramba theme running already its even simpler. Right-click the open theme and select superkaramba - manage themes.

From there you can search for the .theme-file. Do not open any other file with the superkaramba application.
