Free heavy software for linux

cheapskate is a simple Ruby on Rails application for personal budgeting.

Rails is a web-application and persistence framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web-applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern of separation. This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. The model contains the
"smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database. The controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.

In Rails, the model is handled by whats called an object-relational mapping layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present the data from database rows as objects and embellish these data objects with business logic methods. You can read more about Active Record in
link:files/vendor/rails/activerecord/README.html.

The controller and view are handled by the Action Pack, which handles both layers by its two parts: Action View and Action Controller. These two layers are bundled in a single package due to their heavy interdependence. This is unlike the relationship between the Active Record and Action Pack that is much more separate. Each of these packages can be used independently outside of Rails. You can read more about Action Pack in link:files/vendor/rails/actionpack/README.html.

Klear is a KDE application for recording video streams from your DVB device and watching TV with all advantages of digital television (like EPG, OSD, and so on).
Klear project is developed for SWP lectured by Prof. Knabe at the TFH Berlin. We started in October 2004, so this program is currently under heavy development. Have a look at the features to know whats working and whats not.
Main features:
- DVB Playback
- nifty GUI with fullscreen and minimal mode
- Internal (and player-independant) Tuner for DVB-T and DVB-S
- screenshot capability
- Video-Deinterlacing
- Audio-muting
- system preferences
- complete graphical configuration system
- quick-recording system
- full featured scheduled recording
- recording formats: MPEG TS (raw) and MPEG PS (realtime conversion)
Enhancements:
- Added Gnome support
- Added support for recording to other partitions

Halberd discovers HTTP load balancers. Halberd is useful for web application security auditing and for load balancer configuration testing.
To cope with heavy traffic loads, web site administrators often install load balancer devices. These machines hide (possibly) many real web servers behind a virtual IP.
They receive HTTP requests and redirect them to the real web servers in order to share the traffic between them. Halberd is a tool aimed at discovering real servers behind virtual IPs.
Installation:
To install the program you need to execute:
python setup.py install
Enhancements:
- A corner case in the analysis phase was worked around.
- The documentation was improved.

Gecko Media Player is a browser plugin that uses GNOME MPlayer to play media in a browser.

The project should work with all browsers on Unix-ish systems(Linux, BSD, Solaris) and use the NS4 API (Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.).

Gecko Media Player is in heavy development, but I wanted to get some code drops out there so that people can start using and testing it.

Wormux project is free software clone of this game concept. Though currently under heavy development, it is already very playable, with lots of weapons (Dynamite, Baseball Bat, Teleportation, etc.).

There are also lots of maps available for your battling pleasure! Wormux takes the genre to the next level, with great customisation options leading to great gameplay.

There is a wide selection of teams, from the Aliens to the Chickens. Also, new battlefields can be downloaded from the Internet, making strategy an important part of each battle.

Though two human players are currently needed to play (unless you have a split personality) the creation of artificial players and network play are future goals. So, start downloading today, and fight to become king of the garden!

BullDog is a powerful but lightweight firewall for heavy use systems. With many features, this firewall can be used by anyone who wants to protect his/her systems. This system allow dynamic and static rules sets for maximum protection and has several advance features.

This firewall will work for the hobbyist or a military base. Generation 7 is a complete rewrite of its predecesors and is redesigned from scratch and still evolving.

Be prepared to spend some time setting this up. If you are looking for a "quick fix", then you are on the wrong site. BullDog is NOT a quick fix, but rather one step in a complete security policy.

Its is covered by the GPL and is FREE and always will be. I encourage and welcome anyone who wants to port and/or provide ideas/code to better this software.

I would like to see this software developed into a new breed of firewall that provides the best of security with ease of use.

This software was developed on Linux v2.2.16-17 and v2.4 with 64 megs to 1 Gig of RAM and supports iptables via the ip_queue kernel module. Bulldog will NOT run on Windows systems.

PrimeBase XT (PBXT) is a transactional storage engine for MySQL. The project has been designed for modern, web-based, high concurrency environments and heavy update loads. PBXT uses a number of new techniques to achieve its goals.
Enhancements:
- This release makes changes to enable PBXT to handle databases containing thousands of tables.
- It also fixes a number of concurrency problems with operations like TRUNCATE TABLE, ALTER and REPAIR table when used in conjunction with other DML.

KGentooConf is a global configuration tool to edit configuration text files from Gentoo Linux. KGentooConf offers a simple and elegant KDE GUI.
This project is currently in heavy development so... maybe has a lot of bugs ;) Send all bugs and suggestions to a developer, thanx! Any way, KGentooConf backups all your configuration files before you save the new values. For exemple, /etc/make.conf is saved as /etc/make.conf.kgentooconf
KGentooConf needs root privileges to save data in configuration files. This privileges arent necessary to read data. So if you want to save your changes, run KGentooConf as root.
Version restrictions:
- KGentooConf not verify data format from form before save it.
- Stephen Leaf suggested code structure changes and I think that is right so... I will implement this changes in the next release... if I can.
Enhancements:
- Fix a bug with plugin directory.
