Free christmas software for linux

Vector Linux is a small, fast, Linux operating system for Intel, AMD and x86 compatible systems, based on one of the original Linux distributions, Slackware.
The enormously popular Slackware is the true Unix of Linux distributions and is used by major corporations, universities and home users alike. Its popularity stems from the fact that it is a robust, versatile and almost unbreakable system.
Slackware has been traditionally known to be about as user friendly as a coiled rattlesnake and thats where Vector Linux comes into play. We have produced a bloat free, easy to install, configure and maintain Slackware based system that is second to none.

phpWishlist is a web-based wish list manager. phpWishlist project is ideal for anyone who has ever received three of the same item for Christmas or a birthday.

The items on your wishlist can be claimed by others, notifying everyone else that at least one of the item has already been purchased. Even handier, youll never have to keep track of what items you mentioned to which people - everyone can see your entire wishlist as it is updated.

The screenshots below show phpWishlist in action - each user has full control over their own wishlist, including the ability to edit and delete items. You can view the wishlists of others, and claim items - but phpWishlist hides which of your items are claimed, as well as who has claimed items for others.

My Address Book is a web-based address book designed to help you keep a record of your friends addresses, providing a list of your contacts (which may be filtered), categories, details of a particular contact, export and import of data (e.g. from spreadsheets), and a Christmas card list.
To use My Address Book you need to have access to some web space that allows you to use PHP and MySQL. If you want your address book to be private (which is highly recommended!) you will need to set it up inside a password-protected directory in your web space.
Installation:
If you want to use My Address Book over the Internet so you can access your addresses wherever you are, you will need some web space which allows you to use PHP and MySQL. If you only want to use My Address Book on a single computer, you will need a web server (e.g. Apache) which supports PHP and you will need MySQL.
Enhancements:
- The dates of birth of contacts may now be stored.

psad is a collection of three lightweight system daemons (two main daemons and one helper daemon) that run on Linux machines and analyze Netfilter log messages to detect port scans and other suspicious traffic.
psad incorporates many signatures from the Snort intrusion detection system to detect probes for various backdoor programs (e.g. EvilFTP, GirlFriend, SubSeven), DDoS tools (mstream, shaft), and advanced port scans (FIN, NULL, XMAS) which are easily leveraged against a machine via nmap.
When combined with fwsnort, psad is capable of detecting approximately 50% of all Snort rules, including those that inspect the application portion of IP packets. In addition, psad makes use of various packet header fields associated with TCP SYN packets to passively fingerprint remote operating systems (in a manner similar to p0f) from which scans originate. For more information, see the complete list of features offered by psad.
psad is developed with three main principles in mind:
Good network security starts with a properly configured firewall.
A significant amount of intrusion detection data can be gleaned from firewalls logs, especially if the logs provide information on nearly every field of the network and transport headers (and even application layer signature matches as in Netfilters case).
Suspicious traffic should not be detected at the expense of trying to also block such traffic.
Enhancements:
- Added ENABLE_AUTO_IDS_REGEX and AUTO_BLOCK_REGEX to allow filtering on
- logging prefixes.
- Added code to save DShield email to a file.
- Added IPTABLES_PREREQ_CHECK to allow the administrator to control the frequency of Netfilter checks (for auto-block compatibility).
- Added IGNORE_LOG_PREFIXES to allow certain log prefixes to be completely
- ignored by psad.
- Added classification.config file from Snort-2.3.3 so that psad can assign danger levels based upon Snort rule class type. This is useful when also running fwsnort.
- Added snort_rule_dl to allow specific psad to assign specific danger level values to particular signatures. This is useful if you want to do define certain Snort rules as being particularly evil (or not).
- Running fwsnort is also necessary to take advantage of this feature.
- Added reference.config so that psad can include reference information in email alerts that are derived from attacks detected by fwsnort.
- Updated to Snort-2.3.3 signatures.
