GXemul is a machine emulator Im developing in my spare time.
GXemul project emulates processors and surrounding hardware components, in some cases well enough to allow unmodified "guest" operating systems to run inside the emulator as if they were running on a real machine.
MIPS:
- Several machine types are emulated well enough to run guest operating systems. NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, and even obscure things such as Ultrix and Sprite can run, to various degrees.
ARM:
- CATS is emulated well enough to run NetBSD and OpenBSD as guest OSes.
PowerPC:
- NetBSD/prep can run (experimental).
The emulator can be used for:
- experimenting with operating systems which you have not tried yet, or operating systems for hardware which you might not have access to,
- running guest operating systems for historical purposes, e.g. Ultrix or Sprite,
developing portable software, when you want yet another target platform to try to compile your software on (you can use GXemul to run a guest OS and compile your software inside that OS),
- development of new firmware or operating system code (but then you need to be aware of some limitations),
- educational purposes...
Enhancements:
- NetBSD/pmppc can now run in the emulator (with root on NFS).
- For ARM emulation (with NetBSD/cats, OpenBSD/cats, NetBSD/evbarm, or NetBSD/netwinder as the guest OS), the emulator does not use 100% of the hosts CPU if the guest OS is idle.

Cygwin Easy project is an autorun disk that let you work easily and quickly with Cygwin environment in a Windows computer without install anything on your hard disk.

When you insert the disk in the drive the autorun start automatically, if nothing happens its necessary to run "autorun.bat" manually.

Your Cygwin work directory (home) is the "cygwin" directory placed on your desktop.

If in your computer there is already an installation of Cygwin when "autorun.bat" is properly terminated (exiting from the environment with the exit command) or when you click on the link to remove Cygwin Easy it will return back to the previous environment.

In the desktop there is also some links to start new shells or to start X Windows server.

If you want to start X Windows server when the disk is inserted you can run the command "D:autorun X" from Start -> Run (where "D" is the letter that indicate your optical drive).

At the end of the work with Cygwin Easy on your guest system there will be only your workdir.

If you want to change your home path is possible to create a configuration file called "cygwineasy.ini" in your desktop with inside:

[Cygwin Easy]
HOME=C:homeuser

where "C:homeuser" is the path of your home

You can also specify this as second argument for "autorun.bat", for example:
"D:autorun shell C:homeuser" (from Start -> Run).

If you want a more powerful console (with for example the tab) you can run "console.exe" that is in the directory called "console". Console is an open source application that is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and next version (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/console).

A complete list of Cygwin Easy packages is inside the file "packages.txt". Licenses of packages vary but most are under the GPL. Cygwin Easy scripts are under GPL.

xen-tools project is a collection of scripts which allow you to manipulate virtual images for the Xen virtualization software.
With the tools installed, you may create new instances of Debian, complete with networking, OpenSSH, and user accounts, with one simple command. Images may also be easily updated, listed, or deleted.
Main features:
- Create new Xen instances of Debian Sarge, in minutes. (xen-create-image)
- Duplicate an existing image, whilst updating the networking information. (xen-duplicate-image)
- List all existing images with their networking details (xen-list-images)
- Delete previously created instances. (xen-delete-image)
- Update the images youve created with apt-get, without booting them. (xen-update-image)
Creating A New Image:
The script will contains a full manual written using the perl documentation system, perldoc, which you can read by executing:
xen-create-image --manual
This manual describes the operation of the script, and the supported options. (Each of the available options may be setup in a configuration file for ease of use.)
As a very simple example the following command willcreate an image using DHCP to obtain its networking information. The primary disk will 2Gb with 128Mb memory and swap:
xen-create-image --hostname=vm01 --dir=/home/xen
--size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --memory=128Mb --dhcp
If you wish to give the instance a static IP address then provide the information with the following flags:
--ip
The IP address to give the instance.
--gateway
The IP address of the gateway machine.
--broadcast
The broadcast address to use.
--network
The network the image is upon.
--netmask
The netmask to use.
Enhancements:
- This release supports the installation of RPM-based distributions via the external rinse tool, which is more reliable than the rpmstrap utility.
- New guests will now have a random MAC address generated by default, to avoid issues with udev, and several other minor bugfixes were applied.

Videotrans is a set of scripts that convert a movie file in any format that mplayer understands to a DVD-compatible VOB file, doing all the necessary conversions automatically. Videotrans provides an automatic DVD menu generator.
Videotrans has the following programs available:
movie-to-dvd
The movie-to-dvd program takes one or more input files and converts them into a separate MPEG2 video stream and a separate MP2 or AC3 audio stream.
This program takes care of all the necessary conversions, such as framerate adjustment, audio adjustment, zooming/shrinking for DVD frame sizes, etcetera. The program can determine which conversions are necessary on its own, no user intervention is required (but of course, it is possible).
When making a DVD, youll first convert all the movies that you want to put on the DVD into the MPEG2 video and MP2 or AC3 audio streams. Later, youll combine these with the movie-title program into a complete DVD.
movie-title
The movie-title program takes one or more video files that were converted by the movie-to-dvd program and a special title sequence that was produced by movie-make-title and combines all of these into a menu from which the viewer of the DVD can choose which movie he or she wants to watch.
The menu is created by displaying the title sequence in the background, with animated picture-in-picture versions of all the movies on top of that. The creator has the option of supplying information about the movies. This information can be viewed from the menu as well, on a movie-per-movie basis.
The program also generates an XML file for use with dvdauthor, the program that is used to actually create the DVD image that you will burn onto a DVD disc. The program tells you how to run dvdauthor to do the processing for you.
movie-make-title
The movie-make-title program is used to create a background movie and an audio track for DVD menus.
The movie-make-title program takes a single movie and cuts a specified part of out it. It then converts this piece of the movie into separate frames and saves the audio track in a WAV file for you.
Youll have to manually view all the frames and throw away those that you do not want in the title sequence of your DVD (the first few frames and the last few frames). Its not possible to automatically cut out the piece of the movie that you want exactly. I recommend xv for this purpose, although any image viewer that understands JPEG picture files will do.
Also, youll have to process the WAV audio file by hand, to cut out exactly that audio track that you want to hear when the menu is displayed. The movie-title program will make sure that the audio track lasts exactly as long as the movie part that you cut out does. This is to compensate for possible changes in the video frame rate and to correct small mistakes. I personally find sweep a very useful graphical audio processor for this purpose. Sweep can be downloaded at http://sweep.sourceforge.net/.
movie-rip-tv.com
The movie-rip-tv.com program is a convenience program that I personally use to gather interesting information about TV series. Given the name of a series (such as Star Trek Enterprise), a season number and an episode number, this program will create an information file in the correct format for use with the movie-title program. The movie-title program will then be able to display the episodes name in the menu and provide an information button which leads to the generated information (such as the director, the guest stars list, the description of the particular episode, etcetera).
movie-compare-dvd
The movie-compare-dvd program can be used after burning a DVD image to a DVD disc to verify whether all the data was written onto the disc intact. The program takes the on-filesytem copy and the on-DVD copy and compares the checksums of the files on both to find any differences.
Usage:
If you want to start quickly with these programs, and you have a couple of movies that you want to put onto a DVD, try this (assuming that your TV standard is PAL, otherwise specify ntsc instead of pal everywhere that its used):
movie-to-dvd -m pal movie1.avi movie2.avi movie3.avi
movie-make-title -o title -m pal -s 0 -e 60 -m pal movie1.avi
movie-title -o title.vob -t title movie1.m2v movie2.m2v movie3.m2v
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -x title.vob-dvdauthor.xml
a_command_to_burn_a_dvd_from dvd_directory
In case you dont want a selection menu, you may also try:
movie-to-dvd -m pal -M movie1.avi movie2.avi movie3.avi
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie1.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie2.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie3.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -T
a_command_to_burn_a_dvd_from dvd_directory
In this case, youll have to use the DVD players navigation controls to get to the various movies on the DVD.
Enhancements:
- All sorts of clean-up was done.
- Some long-waiting feature requests have been implemented.
- In general, the program should work on more systems now.
