Postfix project is Wietse Venemas mailer that started life as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program.

Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users. Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.

JnettopGui is a GUI project for jnettop, the network traffic visualiser.

Jnettop is a traffic visualiser, which captures traffic going through the host it is running from and displays streams sorted by bandwidth they use.

Lately, there has been a new addition, jnettop-gui, which is java-based frontend for all those, who like GUI-like environment at work.

Here are some key features of "JnettopGui":

· list connections going across this host in a nice way

· supports IPv6
· supports customizable text output for further analysis
· supports machine-friendly mode to support further analysis

Biblos is a powerful indexing tool that can manage your CD/MP3 collection as well as local directories. It records full information about each file on the specified media, and has a powerful searching tool that can help you find specific files. Also you can select from the database a list of files/dirs and Biblos will help you in copying them from the source media to the dir choosed.

Still the most important feature of this program is its portability : it is intended to run as well on a unix platform ( X Windows required ) as on any flavor of Microsoft Windows . So you can easily use for example your MSWindows created databases on a Linux platform .

Biblos it is a fully running program now and with no bugs . You can start creating your databases because the index files have reached maturity and the format will be supported in the future releases also . Try now the lastest release !

ImSafe (Immune Security For your Enterprise) is a host-based intrusion detection tool. After a learning phase, it is able to detect changes in processes behavior, to detect buffer overflows, etc. It is implemented through a device driver (as a kernel patch) for the Linux kernel, but can also be run on other UNIX systems by using a "sensor" built on strace base.

Here are some key features of "ImSafe":

· Anomaly detection by analysing audit trails of system calls
· Fast detection of Buffer Overflow Attacks through our call origin heuristic mecanism
· GTK based graphical user interface
· Created for Linux systems but works on almost every UNIX flavor
· Monitor multiple processes of one single application at a time (its enough for testing purposes)
· React in real-time to an attack by executing the script of your choices

DSS also know as Debased Scripts Set project is dedicated to providing you with a "System Development Environment" to create your own DEbian BASED Live Linux System.

Normally youre stuck with the type and amount of applications the creator decided to include, now you can customize the system to fit your needs, by generating on-the-fly compressed modules (layers) including additional software .

The idea is to dont "debase" the Default Debian System, for this pourpose has been designed the USS (The Upstream Salmon Struct).

In this way youll have a knoppix like HW autodetection and autoconfiguration flavor without affecting the standard system.

DSS can be used to:

· create your own live distribution
· put together a demo disk to show off the power of our favourite OS
· build a portable system to install on external USB/FIREWIRE HD and boot it up.
· backup you system and run it from a CD/DVD
· build a morphix base module

RemoteJ is an application for adding Bluetooth remote control capability to Sony Ericssons mobile phones such as the K750, W800, Z520, W600, W550, and W900 series.

RemoteJ project offers an extendable, configurable interface system that uses XML configuration files.

It can be used to control your music player, video player, or PC-TV using a menu appearing in your mobile phones menu.

· Log cleanup (the info level is much cleaner).
· Some bugs have been fixed (global event triggering and event heaping).
· There is some Gnome flavor addition/cleanup in menu.xml.
· build.xml has been added for developers.

Whats New in 0.2.0 Alpha Development Release:

· SE t610 (and alike maybe: T68, T68i, T300, T310, T610, Z600, T230/T238/T226, T630, T290, K700i) support added (alpha testing phase)

sidux is a desktop-oriented distribution and live CD based on the unstable branch of Debian GNU/Linux. This project was originally created by a group of developers who split from the KANOTIX project and launched their own distribution.

Here are some key features of "sidux":

· After three months of development, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of sidux 2007-02 for amd64 and i686 systems, shipping in a 425 MB lite KDE and a 690 MB full KDE flavor. Our second official sidux release has concentrated on overhauling the early boot sequence and adapting to a wider variety of desktop environments and window managers. While this release only ships in two KDE flavors (lite and full) again, were looking for interested maintainers contributing to special purpose releases or tweaking support for other desktop environments and window managers.

Whats New in This Release:

· After less than three months of development, we are proud to announce the immediate availability of sidux 2007-03 Gaia for amd64 and i686 systems, shipping in a 440 MB lite KDE and a 700 MB full KDE flavors. Our third official sidux release concentrates on overhauling the SysV init sequence of the live CD, refactoring the installer backend, and laying the foundation for proper gettext localisations of our toolset, with additional efforts regarding general clean up and obsoleting the GTK+ 1.2 tools, while shipping kernel 2.6.22.3-rc1, using libata for most PATA chipsets, additional support for Intel IPW3945/4965, Realtek RTL8187 and RT2x00 wireless LAN devices has been added.

lpr-bash is a replacement for the "lpr" command found in lpr(ng), CUPS, and other Unix printing systems. lpr-bash is implemented as a shell script.

Originally designed to run on LinuxFromScratch, and later ported to gentoo, it should work with virtually any flavor of Linux or Unix, and maybe even Mac OS X.

The most common Linux Printing Systems consists of a daemon that needs to run in the background, in most cases listening on a port (ipp://, TCP port 631) for data, in the case of CUPS even as a webserver.

The advantage of this overdone functionality is that you can print from another PC in the network using the IPP protocol, while lpr-bash needs to resort to the print server functionality of samba for network printing.

If you only want local printing or have samba already started, lpr-bash is the smaller, less complex Printing System for you.

Whats New in This Release:

· Two nasty bugs were fixed in local printing, ebuild, printcap-convert, and unwanted output to stdout.
· The print group was changed to lp for gentoo conformity. (un)lockprinter commands were added.
· The install script was changed to use portage on gentoo systems.
· A Web page was added to the standard documentation.
· The package now unpacks into a subdirectory.

GroupSTAT generates statistics from a local Usenet news spool.
Recently, I seem to have become the unofficial stats maintainer for rec.arts.drwho. The program that I have been using to generate these stats, StatNews, was inadequate for the job. I thought about making a few alterations to it and sending a patch to the maintainer (Davide Salvetti), but after looking over the source code to StatNews, I decided that it would be easier to start over and do a complete re-write, using StatNewss source as a cheat-sheet for certain aspects of the project.

So, I set about writing this new program. I did a little research, and found the News::Scan Perl module (available on CPAN or from the authors website. The News::Scan module allowed me to write a program to get the stats without having to actually look at any news articles. This made my job a lot easier.

I have tried to make GroupSTAT as portable as possible. This program has been (for the most part) designed and tested under Debian GNU/Linux woody, and may not work on other platforms. This should be considered a bug; if you have problems getting it to work on your flavor of Unix, please tell me.

StartCom Linux operating systems, are initially based on the RedHat Enterprise AS-3 source code with reliability, security and efficiency in mind, modified to fit the various tasks each flavor of StartCom Linux is assigned to.

In order to choose the right StartCom Linux version for your needs, check out our Products and Distributions page for more information.

View the Screenshots to get an idea how StartCom Linux looks.

StartCom Ltd., a small software house located in the south of Israel. The city of Eilat, at the Red Sea, is famous as a tourist resort, but now also, because its the home of StartCom Linux.

StartCom used to develop applications and websites for local and international customers and operates MediaHostï¿1⁄2 since 1999. StartCom is also a specialist for Linux related implementations. The decision to produce StartCom Linux was made in May 2004.

Whats New in This Release:

· Ahead of a busy spring season and in anticipation of new StartCom Enterprise Linux AS-5 and StartCom MultiMedia Edition ML-6 comes an updated release of the Advanced Server 4 series. The fifth release of this enterprise class operating system is the natural combined continuation of the previously released AS-4 distribution, which includes security updates and minor adjustments. Notable are an updated kernel, security updates for PHP, Firefox and Thunderbird, but also some additions and improvements for smart cards and hardware tokens.

NeWBIE LiveCD is a NetBSD based distro geared towards the desktop user.

It includes software for Web browsing, chatting, multimedia, and document editing.

This acronym NeWBIE is pronounced just like the word "newbie" and stands for (Ne)tBSD (W)are (B)urned (I)n (E)conomy.

Newbie is a NetBSD (v. 3.0) live CD similar in spirit to the well-known FreeSBIE live CD. Newbie currently caters to the desktop-user (i.e. with applications for web browsing, chat, multimedia, document editing, etc) but will also serve as a core for creating a NetBSD version of Arudius (see below) - a network security auditing tool.

Why based on NetBSD? Because contrary to the popular opinion, NetBSD is not some obscure *BSD flavor that is only good for powering your toaster, but is a powerful, flexible and highly portable operating system.

In many aspects it is better than its more famous cousins. Did you know that NetBSD recently broke the speed record for network data transfer? And what about speed and scalability?

Whats New in This Release:

· This release cleans up the boot process and adds a GUI tool for easy setup of the modem/DSL connection.
· More productivity tools are included (e.g. a file manager, spreadsheet, Samba, wireless AP detection, sniffer, network analysis, etc.).

polyBSD is a "multi"-purpose (hence "poly") framework for building embedded systems based on NetBSD.

Of the three major *BSD flavors, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are often in the spotlight.
FreeBSD is touted for its stability, while OpenBSD usually claims the title of
the most secure operatin system available.

However, the third flavor (NetBSD) is what many consider to be the unsung hero - it has features that rival those of both FreeBSD and OpenBSD however is not often seen in the news. NetBSD has arguably the cleanest code base of all open source operating systems this fact has unforseen effect on its overall features. The reason for
NetBSDs clean code is the its stated goal to run on as many hardware architecture
as possible. In order to do that, the team behind NetBSD has been forced to write
code that is portable and easy to debug.

Portable code is achieved by using mostly libraries and functions that are likely to compile and run well on most platforms. In addition, in order to be able to reliably port the code to over 40 different architecture, the code has to be well written so that a large group of people can look at and understand it well so they can modify it easily and port it to a new architecture. But how does that translate into stability and security touted by FreeBSD and OpenBSD respectively. Well, clean code usually translates directly into stability - one cant expect a messy code to perform well or be easy to debug.

Clean code also leads to improved security - security bugs are easy to spot and
correct. Also the portability of the code ensures that only standard libraries
and functions are used. However, those standard libarries and functions are the
ones that have been around longer, which means they have been well tested and are
likely to contain the fewest number of security bugs.

The one feature that FreeBSD had long been able to claim exclusively is that in
terms of performance it blows all other *BSD flavors out of the water when it
comes to the i386 architecture.

However, this crown was recently captured by NetBSD thanks to an extensive performance benchmarking, the results of which are referenced on the section "NetBSD tools" on this site. So to sum it all up, NetBSD is no longer simply the portability prodigy on the block. It is a fast, rock-solid and secure operating system that can successfully meet the demands of the modern enterprise. Thats the reason for it being used by the people behind this project to build some tools that will hopefully be useful.

JOrbis is a pure Java Ogg Vorbis decoder.

JOrbis accepts Ogg Vorbis bitstreams and decodes them to raw PCM.

Vorbis is a general purpose audio and music encoding format contemporary to MPEG-4s AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows flavor of the month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain. All the technical details are published and documented, and any software entity may make full use of the format without royalty or patent concerns.

We sympathize the aim of the Ogg project. JOrbis is our contribution to the Ogg project in our style. We think the ubiquity of Vorbis decoder will leverage the popularity of Ogg Vorbis. We hope JOrbis will run on any platform, any devices and any web browsers, which support Java and every people will enjoy streamed musics without patent or royalty concerns about codec.

Here are some key features of "JOrbis":

· JOrbis is in pure Java.
· JOrbis will run on JDK1.0.* or higher.
· JOrbis is under LGPL.
· JOrbis includes the pure Java Ogg Vorbis player, JOrbisPlayer.
· To enjoy this player, your JVM must support Java Sound API. JOrbisPlayer is under GPL.
· JOrbisPlayer can play Ogg Vorbis live streams on UDP broadcast packets from JRoar.
· JOrbis includes very simple pure Java Ogg Vorbis comment editor, JOrbisComment.

Whats New in This Release:

· added a property jorbis.player.playonstartup to JOrbisPlayer applet to play given stream at the start-up time. Refer to play/JOrbisPlayer.html.

radlib is a C language library developed to abstract details of interprocess communications and common linux/unix system facilities so that application developers can concentrate on application solutions.

It encourages developers (whether expert or novice) to use a proven paradigm of event-driven, asynchronous design.

By abstracting interprocess messaging, events, timers, and any I/O device that can be represented as a file descriptor, radlib simplifies the implementation of multi-purpose processes, as well as multi-process applications.

radlib greatly improves typical process performance through the use of shared memory buffers to avoid costly "malloc" and "free" library calls.

These buffers are also used for interprocess messages. radlib also utilizes shared memory constructs to provide global message queue management and global "Queue Groups" for increased interprocess communications flexibility.

All shared resources are semaphore protected to avoid issues with concurrent access.

In short, radlib is a sincere attempt to provide real-time OS capability on a non-real-time OS. It has been successfully deployed on linux, MacOSX and FreeBSD but there is no reason it would not build and run on any flavor of unix supporting System V IPC.

Specifically, radlib provides fast system buffers, a simple config file utility, events, doubly-linked lists, process logging through syslog, message queues, semaphores, shared memory utilities, timers, stacks, state machine utilities, a process framework, a process management utility to start/stop groups of processes, optional MySQL or PostgreSQL database API, straightforward TCP/streams socket API, and other assorted system utilities.

Whats New in This Release:

· hanged some database field processing to comply with the postgresql changes made in version 8.
