Free easy access distribution software for linux

Ad-hoc Wireless Distribution Service (AWDS) is a Layer 2 routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. The project provides transparent Ethernet-like access to all participating nodes, thus easily allowing the employment of different higher level protocols like IP (with DHCP), IPv6, AppleTalk, ...

A Linux implementation of AWDS can be downloaded from our download section. Ports to other platforms are highly appreciated!

JackLab Audio Distribution is a remastered openSUSE for musicians, producers and media creators.

The JackLab Team is proud to present the first public alpha-release of the JackLab Audio Distribution (JAD). The 1.2GB DVD iso can be downloaded from jacklab.org.

We have found that musicians have particular requirements for their Linux environment. A Linux-based distribution that is designed for music needs to be flexible, powerful, yet easy and quick to use. All of these things are essential in a busy, creative environment. Thinking about these requirements, we decided to base JAD on openSUSE due to its stability and long development history. All major administrative tasks can be done graphically and easily without having to learn any complicated terminal commands.

JAD will be fully compatible with the recently released openSUSE 10.2. It will contain a full production environment for media production, primarily music. For this, the JackLab team added a Realtime Kernel version 2.6.19 to have fast audio processing with a latency up to 1.5ms. The default audio system will be based on the the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) which is designed for the needs of musicians and producers and gives a professional audio/midi controlling interface.

The installer is based on the acclaimed YaST2, which also serves as an easy-to-use administrative tool. To keep as many essential computer resources for music as possible, we have decided to use Enlightenment D17 desktop shell as the default window manager. KDE desktop environment is also included, so the user-friendly file manager - Konqueror, is available along with Kmail, Konversation, k3b and other KDE tools. For music creation and editing, we have included around 70 audio applications with sequencers, synthesizers and tools all installed and ready to go. User-friendly support for setting up and running VST instruments and effects is given. Additionally, there are applications for video production and a graphic suite that are included on the DVD. For browsing the internet, we have included Firefox 2.0 chosen for its stability, security and extendability.

JAD is a community based effort and is the culmination of the work of many contributors. Recently, JackLab and PackMan (packman.links2linux.de) have joined forces to offer JAD access to the PackMan repositories so that up-to-date audio software, non-audio software and multimedia codecs are available to JAD users. The JAD development team would like you to participate in the development process too. There are different ways you can help:

-As a tester, you can download the most recent version and use the bugtracker to report any problems.
-You can participate in the graphics contest: The best graphics submitted will be used as default for the bootscreen, wallpaper, skins and icons.
-You can submit feature requests and take part in discussions on the mailing list.
-For taking part in providing user support, there is a web based forum and an IRC channel - it is also an essential part of the development process to see feedback.

Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a Free Software security extension for current Linux kernels. Rule Set Based Access Control is based on the Generalized Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and LaPadula and provides a flexible system of access control based on several modules.
All security relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then enforced by the system call extensions.
Main features:
- Free Open Source (GPL) Linux kernel security solution
- Independent of governments and big companies
- Several well-known and new security models, like MAC, ACL and RC
- On-access virus scanning with the Dazuko interface
- Detailed control over individual user and program network accesses
- Fully access controlled kernel level user management
- Any combination of security models possible
- Easily extensible: write your own model for runtime registration
- Support for latest kernels and stable for production use
Enhancements:
- This release relates to kernel 2.4.34.5 and 2.6.22.1.
- There are important fixes with some compilation errors and an important bug with User Management password hashing, introduced with the newer 2.6 kernel crypto API.
- Some security has been added with safety measures against null pointers.

Linux::Distribution::Packages Perl module contains a list all packages on various Linux distributions.

SYNOPSIS

use Linux::Distribution::Packages qw(distribution_packages distribution_write);

$linux = new Linux::Distribution::Packages({format => csv, output_file => packages.csv});
$linux->distribution_write();

# Or you can (re)set the options when you write.
$linux->distribution_write({format => xml, output_file => packages.xml});

# If you want to reload the package data
$linux->distribution_packages();

This is a simple module that uses Linux::Distribution to guess the linux distribution and then uses the correct commands to list all the packages on the system and then output them in one of three formats: native, csv, and xml.
Distributions currently working: debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, suse, gentoo, slackware, redflag.

The module inherits from Linux::Distribution, so can also use its calls.

PHP Database Access Through Arrays project can be used to access data stored in MySQL tables like accessing arrays. It uses SPL to implement several classes and iterators interfaces to access MySQL databases.

Examples:

$DB[test_table][] = array(
name => first,
value => the first row
);

foreach ($DB[test_table] as $i => $row) {
...
}

$DB[test_table][first][value] = 1st;

unset($DB[test_table][first]);

LDAP Mailing Lists Access Policy Daemon (MLAPD) is a mailing list manager that uses LDAP (instead of BDB or GDBM) to control list access. Its designed to work in conjunction with Postfix as an access policy delegation daemon. It manages electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Its goal is to store/read list data on/from LDAP.
It works as a Postfix access policy delegation agent, so it can be installed one time and used by multiple Postfix instances, or installed multiple times and not suffer database access concurrency issues (because it uses LDAP).
Enhancements:
- This can be considered the first stable and usable release.
