Free distcc 2.18.3 software for linux

distccKNOPPIX is a directly bootable and self-configuring Linux system on a small (55MB) iso running a distccd daemon. distccKNOPPIX is a simple remastering of Knoppix running a distccd daemon and some general cleaning up/removal of unneeded packages/apps.
Its obvious target is for those who have other machines at their hands, and for some reason or an other can not get a distccd daemon running on it.
Attention Gentoo Users: The distccKNOPPIX (Debian) version of gcc is not patched with pie or protector support like the Gentoo version is. Im working on fixing this, but you will probably have problems compiling glibc, grub and perhaps other programs until this issue is remedied.
All versions are identical except for the default gcc. All downloads have all 4 versions of gcc. You can also change the default gcc at the boot prompt by typing knoppix gcc-3.4 for example. Or you can change the gcc version at the command line with update-alternatives --config gcc. If you are unsure which version to download, try the gcc-3.3 one.
Main features:
- Kernel 2.4.26
- distcc 2.16 (port 3632)
- gcc 2.95.4, 3.2.3, 3.3.4, 3.4.1
- cpp 2.95.4, 3.2.3, 3.3.4, 3.4.1
- g++ 2.95.4, 3.2.3, 3.3.4, 3.4.1
Enhancements:
- added c++ link to g++
- more cleanups
- created a mailing list

Distcc Livecd is a small bootable cdrom that contains a uClibc Linux system, the GNU compiler and a distcc daemon.

The purpose of this CD is to be able to borrow compile CPU power from computers without installing anything on the harddisk. The CD is build with the Gentoo portage framework.

Unlike distccKnoppix, the C compiler on this CD (the default gentoo hardened gcc compiler) supports position independent code (PIE) and stack smashing protection (SSP).

libwnck is Window Navigator Construction Kit, i.e. a library to use for writing pagers and taskslists and stuff.
libwnck isnt supported in the devel platform, which means OS vendors wont guarantee the API/ABI long-term, but authors of open source apps should feel free to use libwnck as users can always recompile against a new version. (And the API/ABI has historically changed very little, Im not changing it gratuitously or without soname increments.)
There are API docs in the source code, and API documentation can be generated by configuring --enable-gtk-doc. Also tasklist.c and pager.c make good sample code.
Whats New in 2.18.3 Stable Release:
- Fix a crash when dragging a window to somewhere like another workspace/viewport (Vincent) [#420713]
- Fix crash on multihead setups (Vincent)
- Improve a bit the drawing of the workspaces in the pager (Vincent)

eel comes from Eazel Extensions Library is a collection of widgets and extensions
to many modules of the GNOME platform.
These widgets and extensions were developed by hackers working on Nautilus. For the duration of the Nautilus 1.0 development cycle, the code was internal to Nautilus and its components.
In order to clearly distinguish useful extensions that could be useful for other projects, we have decided to put then in their own library. It is possible that we will move even more from Nautilus to Eel in the future.
Whats New in 2.18.3 Stable Release:
- Fix crash in the open with dialog
- Translation updates

The GNOME project provides two things: GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
Main features:
Free
- GNOME is Free Software and part of the GNU project, dedicated to giving users and developers the ultimate level of control over their desktops, their software, and their data. Find out more about the GNU project and Free Software at gnu.org.
Usable
- GNOME understands that usability is about creating software that is easy for everyone to use, not about piling on features. GNOMEs community of professional and volunteer usability experts have created Free Softwares first and only Human Interface Guidelines, and all core GNOME software is adopting these principles. Find out more about GNOME and usability at the GNOME Usability Project.
Accessible
- Free Software is about enabling software freedom for everyone, including users and developers with disabilities. GNOMEs Accessibility framework is the result of several years of effort, and makes GNOME the most accessible desktop for any Unix platform. Find out more at the GNOME Accessibility Project.
International
- GNOME is used, developed and documented in dozens of languages, and we strive to ensure that every piece of GNOME software can be translated into all languages. Find out more at the GNOME Translation Project.
Developer-friendly
- Developers are not tied to a single language with GNOME. You can use C, C++, Python, Perl, Java, even C#, to produce high-quality applications that integrate smoothly into the rest of your Unix or Linux desktop.
Organized
- GNOME strives to be an organized community, with a foundation of several hundred members, usability, accessibility, and QA teams, and an elected board. GNOME releases are defined by the GNOME Release Team and are scheduled to occur every six months.
Supported
- Beyond the worldwide GNOME Community, GNOME is supported by the leading companies in Linux and Unix, including HP, MandrakeSoft, Novell, Red Hat, and Sun. Find out more at foundation.gnome.org.
A community
- Perhaps more than anything else, GNOME is a worldwide community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and generally have fun together. Find out more at GNOME Developers site.

Quadcore is a SuperKaramba theme Ive made for my main workstation: a Tyan Dual Opteron. I just like to watch the cores being used for distcc or anything else. Also some useful information is added, too.
