Whats New in 4.2 Alpha 1 Development Release:
- ClarkConnect Community 4.2 Alpha 1 is available. Though it has only been four months since the last release, version 4.2 brings quite a few new features. This alpha build is intended for developers, integrators and curious users. Typical uses for this alpha build: final integration testing for third party developers; testing new hardware and drivers with the Linux 2.6.18 kernel; getting a sneak preview of the upcoming 4.2 release. This is alpha software, so quite a few software modules are still incomplete or not well tested. The most important known issues are: Webconfig template graphics and icons are incomplete; graphical console tool does not display on the screen properly....

Gentoox Linux is an adaptation of the popular source based Linux distribution called Gentoo. Gentoox Home retains all the features of the original (portage, sysvinit etc...) but has a patch system created from the ground up, by myself, which is specifically designed for Gentoox.

"Magic" (as I have labelled it) allows users to install new software, upgrade their kernel and fix bugs. To learn more about magic, run "magic usage" once you have installed Gentoox.

Gentoox runs along side games - you get 3 choices during installation: E, F and Native. Both E and F create a loopback filesystem meaning that none of your drives are formatted during installation (except for cache partitions). If you choose "Native", then your F: partition is formatted to ReiserFS (making it inaccessible to Xbox applications).

Gentoox can be loaded via a .xbe file, or from a Cromwell based BIOS (which can be flashed to your modchip during installation). When using E or F installations, you are totally risk free - if you dont like Gentoox, simply delete all the files it installs (about 7 in total) and its gone.

There are three versions of Gentoox: Pro Edition, Home Edition and Media Center Edition. All three are 100% free and opensource, the difference between Home and Pro is that the Home Edition has many software packages preinstalled and preconfigured for instant usablity straight out of the box where as Pro doesnt even have a graphical user interface let alone any "useful" applications.

Pro is a bare minimum installation for booting the system, the entire customisation of the OS is left in the users hands with Pro. Media Center edition is more of a "Plugin" than a separate distribution. It allows you to have a Media Center along with Gentoox Home or Pro.

OggCarton is a free, open source, home jukebox system that rips, indexes, and manages playlists for Ogg Vorbis music files.
Includes a web server for playing files on your home network. Compatible with existing MP3 files.

AqMoney is a console tool for home banking using OpenHBCI and Libchipcard. AqMoney supports all of the features offered by OpenHBCI.

VStar PhotoAlbum is a Web-based photo album designed for amateur photographers with digital cameras and their own Web server or home page.

VStar PhotoAlbum alleviates the need to spend much time creating Web pages to show off photographs, and it automatically makes periodic backups for photos.

"desired/directory",
"pseudohome/directory", # two-argument version

$desired_dir = make_subhome_directory($desired_dir_ref);

restore_subhome_directory_status($desired_dir_ref);

In the course of deploying an application on another users system, you sometimes need to place a file in or underneath that users home directory. Can you do so safely?

This Perl extension provides several functions which try to determine whether you can, indeed, safely create directories and files underneath a users home directory. Among other things, if you are placing a file in such a location only temporarily -- say, for testing purposes -- you can temporarily hide any already existing file with the same name and restore it to its original name and timestamps when you are done.

create Image is an amarok script that can create an image of the current playlist and save the files to an iso image.

The iso image is found in the respective home folders.
