Free family based software for linux

Know Base project consists of knowledge, document, and project management tool.

Know Base is a Web-based knowledge management system. It allows users to share files and projects across multiple business divisions.

A unique notification system alerts users when projects are modified, or when new projects are added that match their search terms.

XHTML Family Tree Generator project is a CGI Perl script together with some Perl modules that will create views of a family tree from a supplied data file. The data file is a simple text or Excel file listing the family members, parents, and other details.
It is possible to show a tree of ancestors and descendants for any person, showing any number of generations. Other facilities are provided for showing email directories, birthday reminders, facehall, and more. It has a simple configuration, makes heavy use of CGI (and other CPAN modules), generates valid XHTML, and has support for Unicode and multiple languages.
Enhancements:
- Italian support was added.

Nixs Web-based SSH client has a backend written in C/glib and a frontend written in PHP. The project talks to the backend via a Unix socket.
The backend maintains a number of SSH processes in TTYs, reads their TTYs, and sends the contents to PHP for formatting. PHP accepts input and passes it to the correct TTY for processing.
Enhancements:
- CR/LF interpretation was improved.
- Escape sequences were added.
- GOption command line parsing was added.

CGIFeed is a CGI program that reads news feeds (via XML/RDF/RSS) and prepares HTML pages for them.

You can enter new feeds through the Web page, and edit the name and update interval for each feed.

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.

Pyro stands for Python Robotics. The goal of the project is to provide a programming environment for easily exploring advanced topics in artificial intelligence and robotics without having to worry about the low-level details of the underlying hardware. That is not to say that Pyro is just a toy. In fact, Pyro is used for real robotics research as well as courseware.

Robots: Currently, the robots supported include the Pioneer family (Pioneer, Pioneer2, PeopleBot robots), the Khepera family (Khepera, Khepera 2 and Hemisson robots), the AIBO, the IntelliBrain-Bot, and the Roomba.

Simulators: Pyro is integrated with several existing robot simulators including Robocup Soccer, Player/Stage, Gazebo and the Khepera simulator.

Pyro Live CD is based on newest Knoppix 5.1.1 and can be placed in any PC that can boot off of a CD., and you can be running Pyro and other robotics software immediately. No need to install anything! This works even on Windows PCs, laptops, and desktops. Great for students, labs, and presentations.
