Free configuration management software for linux

Configuration HOWTO would be the main documentation for configuring most common hardware and services.

This document is one of the most important for LDP, because by configuring hardware and software you can get your own Linux box. This HOWTO was born in the Golden Age of developers, mainly for the command line. As it became too big and old for the current distros, I rewrote it more simple as I could.

Fundamentally, to configure the system, Linux users have to write some configuration files. To do it easyer, today programs and wizards are avaliable to manage them. This programs may be quite different for the various distributions.

In this HOWTO, I will speak about Mandrake-Linux and about Red Hat.

Emacs Configuration Framework is a versatile configuration package for Emacs. It is meant for users whose Emacs configuration has become so complex that it appears to be unmanageable.
It enables you to write and load the configuration for individual Emacs packages in pieces. You can use it to setup some autoloads for a package when you start Emacs and then do extra configuration after the package has loaded.
This speeds up your Emacs startup without compromising your ability to do complicated things.
Enhancements:
- This release adds a new rc.d/lang directory.
- Modes added: speedbar, semantic, cedet, and ecb.

Community Content Management project consists of a light-weight CMS, designed for communities.
Community Content Management is a light-weight CMS, which is designed for small communities, such as churches, schools, and neighborhood watch groups.
It allows someone with relatively little knowledge of the Internet to publish news stories and events. It sets archive/publishing dates, allowing groups to write press releases/articles about events before they happen.
Its output conforms to XHTML 1.0 and uses CSS 2, and its configuration comprises one file, which sets the site title, database, host, and meta tags.
Enhancements:
- Login - code changed so correct variables are passed to login script :)
- Search - Search Engine Added
- Articles - new lines (n) are replaced with "
" instead of " "

The Configuration File Library (CFL) is a collection of routines for manipulating configuration files. The project is a portable library fully written from scratch in pure ANSI C.

It is designed to offer for C programmers common routines for manipulating configuration text files.

Resource Management Game project is a Web-based resource management game.

Resource Management Game is a PHP framework for easily creating resource management and strategy games.

Two playable games are included.

The system uses sessions to store data and should work out of the box with little or no configuration.

Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access.

Font Configuration Library contains two essential modules, the configuration module which builds an internal configuration from XML files and the matching module which accepts font patterns and returns the nearest matching font.

The configuration module consists of the FcConfig datatype, libexpat and FcConfigParse which walks over an XML tree and ammends a configuration with data found within. From an external perspective, configuration of the library consists of generating a valid XML tree and feeding that to FcConfigParse.

The only other mechanism provided to applications for changing the running configuration is to add fonts and directories to the list of application-provided font files.

The intent is to make font configurations relatively static, and shared by as many applications as possible.

It is hoped that this will lead to more stable font selection when passing names from one application to another. XML was chosen as a configuration file format because it provides a format which is easy for external agents to edit while retaining the correct structure and syntax.

Font configuration is separate from font matching; applications needing to do their own matching can access the available fonts from the library and perform private matching.

The intent is to permit applications to pick and choose appropriate functionality from the library instead of forcing them to choose between this library and a private configuration mechanism.

The hope is that this will ensure that configuration of fonts for all applications can be centralized in one place. Centralizing font configuration will simplify and regularize font installation and customization.

LMS (LAN Management System) is the integrated system of networks management designed for various size internet providers (ISP).

That software writed in PHP, Perl and C, works with variuos database systems.
