Fedora Core Live-Spin is a Live CD based on Fedora Core.

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of CD and DVD ISO Live-Spins. These Live-Spins are live, bootable, ready-to-use ISO images of Fedora Core with no need for installation.

Official Fedora Live images are something we all have been looking forward to seeing in the Fedora Community. Kadischi will be the tool to create such live images. Fedora Unity has recently joined forces with Kadischi to help provide testing and to release live images which we are calling "Live-Spins."

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of a new Live-Spin CD and DVD ISO image of Fedora Core 5. These Live-Spin ISOs are based on Fedora Core 5 and all updates released as of August 21st, 2006. They are available for the i386 architecture via BitTorrent starting Monday, August 28th, 2006 via BitTorrent.

The Fedora Core 5 CD image features a 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 kernel and GNOME 2.14.3, along with applications such as xchat, gftp, OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, and other utilities. The DVD image includes roughly "everything but the kitchen sink."

Also available at this time are "pristine" FC6T2 Live ISO images from the initial FC6T2 release.

FreeType 1 is a portable and highly efficient TrueType rendering engine, that is now successfully used to bring TrueType support to a very large variety of platforms and environments, be they font servers, graphics libraries or embedded systems.
FreeType 1 is a clean-room implementation that is not derived from the original TrueType engine developed by Apple and Microsoft. It has been created with the sole help of the published TrueType specifications, which to our great surprise (and pain) turned out to be extremely poor and misleading in critical areas. Much hard work has been undertaken to solve ambiguities. The end result is a portable and fast renderer.
Note that FreeType 1 is a library. It is not a font server for your favorite platform, even though it was designed to be used in many of them. Note also that it is not a complete text-rendering library. Its purpose is simply to open and manage font files, as well as load, hint and render individual glyphs efficiently. You can also see it as a "TrueType driver" for a higher-level library, though rendering text with it is easy, as demonstrated by the test programs.
Its quality matches these of Windows and the Macintosh, while its memory foot-print and code size (between 48 and 55 kByte of Intel code) remain modest. A thing that cannot be said for most other commercial engines available.
Main features:
- Supports TrueType files (TTF) and collections (TTC). Doesnt support GX or OpenType fonts, but these can be opened and used as normal TTF files by the library. (With the exception of OTF OpenType fonts which really embed a Type 1 font file within a TrueType storage).
- Modular design: Memory and I/O operations can be very easily tailored to your own platform/system (the standard release comes with ANSI libc support).
- Font smoothing, a.k.a. gray-scaling. Just like Win95, the renderer only smoothes the parts of a glyph which need it (i.e., diagonals and curves).
- Support for all character mappings defined in the TrueType specification. The client application can select whichever pleases it.
- A full-featured and efficient TrueType bytecode interpreter. The engine is able to produce excellent output at small point sizes. This component has been extremely difficult to get right, due to the ambiguous and misleadings TrueType specifications. However, we now match Windows and Mac qualities.
- Written in portable ANSI C (and Pascal, for older FreeType 1 versions). Should compile well on all kinds of systems (tested on 16, 32 and 64 bits processors). With full source code available.
- Open Source License. FreeType can be included in all kinds of commercial systems and software.
- Provides test programs to "show-off" the library, runnable on the following platforms: Dos, Unix, OS/2, Win95, and Amiga. Any porters for other systems are welcome and should contact the developers team.
- Support for extensions. These are separately linkable units which can be used to enhance the engines functionalities without recompiling it. They can be written to access additional TrueType tables, or even GX and/or OpenType ones (the latter is already available).
- Kerning support: The TrueType kerning data is available through one of the standard extensions that comes in this release. However, it is up to the application to "interpret" the data, as many different `formats are supported.
- Support for vertical metrics. The engine is able to provide client applications with vertical glyph metrics if they are found in font files (usually in CJKV fonts). If not present, it synthetizes metrics from the horizontal values, ascender, and descender metrics. This means that it is possible to render vertical text correctly.
- Standard extensions are provided to access and load the glyph names in the Postscript table.

Xfce 4 Xfapplet Plugin is a plugin for the Xfce 4 Panel which allows one to use applets designed for the Gnome Panel inside the Xfce Panel. You can think of XfApplet as a tiny Gnome Panel that lives inside the Xfce Panel and allows you to show the same applets that the Gnome Panel is capable of showing.

The current stable version of the XfApplet Plugin has the following features:

Most Gnome applets are supported. Basically the only exceptions are the Gnome Systray and Window List applets, which should be considered not very well supported. This should be fixed in the next stable version;

The XfApplet properties dialog allows you to choose between all Gnome applets currently installed, just as the Gnome Panel does.

The XfApplet context menu shows both the Xfce Panel related items (such as “Move”, “Remove”, “Customize Panel”, etc.) and the Gnome applet ones, which of course will depend on the specific applet being displayed.

Applets are displayed correctly in terms of layout, popup menus and other issues no matter the Xfce Panel specific configuration such as position (top, bottom, left or right side and floating) and size.

By now you may be wondering: why would someone write XfApplet? The motivations for both starting and maintaining this project can be resumed as follows:

Olivier Fourdan (Xfce project leader) was asked in his interview in FOSDEM 2005 about the possibility of integration between the Gnome Panel applets and the Xfce Panel. His answer stated that (by that time) the Xfce Panel did not support stand alone applets such as the Gnome Panel, but instead one could write a plugin for the Xfce Panel that was capable of showing Gnome applets.

Software reusability is very common in FOSS projects, especially in code level. XfApplet allows for reusability in component level by linking against the Bonobo infra-structure and the Xfce Panel libraries. So there’s no need to rewrite every single Gnome applet against Xfce libraries; all of them can be used out of the box from within both the Xfce and Gnome panels.

Many new Xfce users come from Gnome or at least have a good Gnome experience. The possibility of using Gnome applets inside the Xfce Panel makes the experience of moving from Gnome to Xfce or even using both desktop environments easier.

Usage:

Using XfApplet is quite easy, specially because XfApplet itself doesn’t have any special functionallity; its only purpose is to display Gnome applets. To learn how to use a specific Gnome applet you will have to refer to the applet’s particular documentation.

Assuming that you have properly built and installed XfApplet, you need only to right click the Xfce Panel and choose “Add New Item”. You should find the XfApplet Plugin in the list of available plugins for the Xfce Panel.

After adding XfApplet to the Xfce Panel (either by clicking “Add” or by drag and drop), you’ll get an empty XfApplet. An empty XfApplet displays nothing but a small icon with the Xfce mice and the Gnome foot. Right click the icon and choose “Properties”. This will open the XfApplet properties dialog where you will be able to choose any Gnome applet installed by either double clicking it or hitting “OK”.

At any time you can change the applet displayed through the XfApplet properties dialog. Each instance of XfApplet is capable of displaying only one Gnome applet; so if you want to display several applets you will have to add a XfApplet instance for each one of them.

Local Area Security is a research group focused on information security related subjects. We are most known for L.A.S. Linux. Our live-CD security toolkit.

Local Area Security is a project that was started in 2002 to research information security related topics. During that time there was no real live-CD toolkit focused on information security.

So Jascha, the project founder built one from a stripped down version of Knoppix called Model-K. Both of which were built from Debian Linux.

Up until version 0.4 L.A.S. Linux was command line only. Which made it limited to some of the tools it could contain since many require a GUI. Or at least for many it is preferable to have one. So FluxBox was added as the desktop since it is light weight and very feature filled.

It was during this time that Jascha came up with the idea of keeping the size of L.A.S. as small as possible, which lead to a target maximum size of 180MBs. The size of the original mini-CDs that were available at the time. This forced the selection of tools and features to be weighed heavily since unlike other live-CDs that throw in everything including the kitchen sink. L.A.S. was designed from the ground up to be a tool not a all-inclusive grab bag of applications.

As well as many advances for live-CDs came about, such as to-ram that allows booting a live-CD into the physical RAM of a computer. Which by chance L.A.S. was perfectly cut out for. With as little as 256MB of RAM people could boot L.A.S. and then free up their CD-ROMs for burring etc.

For forensics this was a big plus, along with many other uses. Plus L.A.S. ran very fast in RAM which helped with running Nessus, Nmap, or other tools. When compared to full size (700MB) CDs which would require 1GB of RAM to use the to-ram option, it was really no contest.

bwFXPbot is a Perl based IRC bot, designed for a spesific purpose to provide a solution for FTP based file sharing networks.
The idea is simple, the files are uploaded to a specific FTP server by the administrators who would like to spread them to their other FTP servers on the network, using bwFXPbot they can provide access for who ever they see feet to access the IRC and spread the files by a single command to the IRC bot.
bwFXPbots features are as followed:
- Using IRC bwFXPbot provides you with an easy global access to your file distributions.
- Easy distribution of files from a local host to multiple FTP servers.
- Easy distribution of files from one FTP server to many using FXP.

Overslack is a slackline simulator/game. A configurable model world containing a slackline, a slacker and ground is visualized and its time evolution is calculated while the user controls the slacker using the mouse. Just like with real slacklining there is no predefined goal, but it keeps track of the time you stand on the line.

The simulated world has only two dimensions. Although the forward direction offers many possibilities on a real slackline, it has very little to do with balancing and is quite uninteresting to simulate. Slow speeds are assumed, so the air resistance is neglected. The time evolution is calculated by applying Newtonian physics numerically as many times per second as the machine can handle.

The speed of the simulated world is configurable, making it run five times as slow as the real world makes it slow enough to be manageable and fast enough to keep the attention up. Unlike normal grass ground, the ground in the simulation is bouncy and doesnt cause injuries. It is (unfortunately) a bit unrealistic, but makes it more fun.

The simulated line behaves according to a quite simple model. An ideal spring between the lines point of equilibrium and the slackers feet makes a good approximation, but an ideal spring gives back all energy it stores, which would cause you to bounce forever without helping with your legs. To simulate some friction, it has a somewhat different spring constant depending on whether its extending or compressing. It is of course fully configurable, so anything from an ideal spring to an old, tired and non-elastic line are possible to simulate.

The slacker is controlled with the mouse. Move the mouse down to extend the legs, and move it up to crouch. Move the mouse to the right to lower your right arm and raise your left, and to the left to do the opposite. This is pretty much all you can do on a real slackline too, except that you can move more than just your arms, but thats just a question of terminology.

The slacker is infinitely fast and strong, if you move the mouse the slacker will move instantly to the new position regardless of the force and energy required.
It is possible to jump off the line and land on it again, with or without bouncing on the ground in between, but to make it simpler the slacker is moved to a perfectly balanced position whenever you press the right mouse button.

In addition to the line, slacker and some on-screen numerical physical information, vectors visualizing location (white), speed (green) and acceleration (red), both translational and rotational, are shown.
