Free hood college software for linux

The aim of this experimental Linux distribution is to provide to RKC students andto the student population at large an operating system which is easy to install and use and which provides an alternative to the traditional commercial operating systems ;) Why Slackware as a base?
As they themselves put it, "The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities.
Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best of all worlds to the table. "CollegeLinux can benefit from the stability of slackware now made easy with our user friendly installer and interface.
The basic concept of CollegeLinux is to provide you with an alternative, user-friendly operating system and a way to learn more using linux. Whilst maintaining simplicity and a user friendly system, we want to introduce our users to more advanced features and why not, to maintain the "geek" side of linux by providing an excellent development environment.
Thanks to the great environment and suite of free software provided by KDE.Once you have installed CollegeLinux you can do the normal tasks you used to accomplish under your "old" OS namely:
- Using an office suite which containts an advanced text editor,spreadsheet, presentation tool, chart, scientific calculator and much more (thanks to OpenOffice, you can modify your windows documents or save your new documents in a windows compatible format like .doc, .xls etc);
- Organizing your work/study task with calendar, task manager and everything you might need to cope with your busy life;-Having available an email suite, browsers, html editor, graphic software,music and multimedia tools and much more.
-Development & Server environment: The new CollegeLinux 2.5. comes with a "robot" to auto install and configure on the fly PHP,Apache, Webmin and MySQL on the fly: your complete development environment. If you always wanted to learn some programming this is your chance. With our tools and the full manual at dotgeek you can start learning PHP with collegelinux and test your first scripts locally.
- Installing and upgrading any of the available packages via a slapt get based, easy to use interface. The expandibility of CollegeLinux is therefore limited only by your own imagination!
Enhancements:
- Full compatibility with Slackware 9.1 ;
- CollegeLinux server robot: install & configure automatically (almost no question asked) Apache, PHP, MySQL, SQLite, Webmin and Phpmyadmin (mysql front end) and SQLiteManager (sqlite frontend) your complete server & development environment;
- CL auto-update engine: slapt-get based(special thanks to Jason Woodward ) integrated with a Konqueror front end. You can now update on the fly every package or the entire distribution.
- Our own Installer substantiall upgraded, more hardware supported.
- Direct connect file sharing, latest kde, openoffice and much more.

OSCache is a high performance J2EE caching solution that can cache portions of JSP pages, entire HTTP responses (including dynamically generated images), and arbitrary Java objects.
OpenSymphony Cache can provide your J2EE application with huge performance gains and graceful error tolerance (e.g., in the event of a DB failure, cached content is served).
Fast in-memory caching
OSCache allows you to execute dynamic content periodically (eg every 30 minutes) rather than every request and store the result in memory. Each further request is served directly from the memory cache, resulting in dramatic speed increases.
The cache is keyed programmatically. This means you can calculate a cache key that works for your situation. For example an ecommerce site might use product ID as keys, or content site might use an article date and article ID combination.
The cache is stored in standard scopes that any JSP programmer is familiar with (application or session). The session scope allows you to have different cached content per user. This is one unlike any other caching system weve ever seen.
Persistent on-disk caching
OSCache can also write the cache to disk. This provides caching across server restarts, and caching of datasets that do not fit into memory. Caching can be configured to use memory or file caching, or a combination of both.
If you want to persist the cache to somewhere other than disk, you can plug in a custom PersistenceListener. This allows you to persist the cache to anywhere (for example to a database via JDBC or to LDAP via JNDI).
When using both disk caching and memory caching. It is possible to limit the cache size to avoid using too much memory but let disk cache unlimited, resulting in browser style complementary disk cache. When cached objects are removed from memory, they are still on disk. If the item is needed again and it is not expired the cache file will be used. This also gives fault tolerance if the server crashes.
Persistence can also be switched to overflow mode using the property oscache.persistence.overflow.only. This changes the default behavior (of persisting every cache entry when there is a listener) to only persist when the memory cache capacity has been reached.
Excellent Performance
Written with performance in mind.
Mulitple cache requests can be handled concurrently.
Only one requesting thread needs to update an expired cache entry even if multiple threads are requesting it simultaneously. Other threads can be configured to either receive the recently-expired object, or block until the cached object is updated. Similarly, when a new entry is being added to the cache, other threads requesting that entry will block until it is ready rather than run off and race to build the same object. In a high load environment this can provide enormous performance benefits.
Automatically takes advantage of JRE 1.4 or higher if available.
Clustering support
OSCache can easily be configured to cluster across multiple boxes. This provides both scalability and failover support without any changes required in your caching code.
Flexible Caching System
OSCache allows you to cache portions of JSP pages, arbitrary Java objects, and even entire servlet responses.
Cache capacity can be set allowing you to limit the number of cached objects.
Multiple caching algorithms are supported such as LRU (Least Recently Used), FIFO (First In First Out), or unlimited. It is also possible to plug in your own custom algorithm.
You are given a huge amount of control over the way cached objects expire. Objects can be cached indefinitely, expired once they reach a certain age, or expired based on a cron expression. Programmatic flushing is also possible, and if that is still not enough pluggable RefreshPolicies allow custom refresh strategies.
Cached objects can be grouped together however you like, allowing for powerful management of cached data. This is an extremely useful feature that is far more powerful than what other caching solutions typically offer (such as the flushing of cache keys that match a particular pattern).
Fully event driven! OSCache fires events for various happenings under the hood such as cache entry events (adding, updating, flushing and removing) and cache accesses (hit, stale hit and miss). It is easy to add your own event handlers.
Multiple caches can be created, each with their own unique configuration.
Simple JSP Tag Library
The tag library to perform and control the caching is very simple. See the Tag Reference for more information.
Caching Filter
A Servlet 2.3 Filter allows for caching of entire pages and generated binary files (like dynamically created images or PDF files).
Comprehensive API
For the ultimate control, OSCache can be used through its straightforward API. You can instantiate, configure and control multiple caches programmatically. It would be possible for example to create one small in-memory cache that held currency conversion rates and was updated daily at 2am, while another cache could be purely disk based and used for holding dynamically created images.
Exception Handling
OSCache provides a way for your site to gracefully tolerate errors. This is not error prevention, rather if an error occurs it should not stop your site from functioning. For example if your database goes down, normally your product descriptions will not be browsable. Using OSCache you can cache those descriptions so you can still browse them.
Cache Flushing
Flushing of caches can be controlled via JSP Tags, so these functions can easily be built into your administration interface.
There is programmatic control over what caches are flushed (eg all caches or just a particular scope).
Cached objects can be expired in a number of ways. Objects can be told to expire once they reach a certain age, or, through the use of cron expressions, on particular dates and/or times (eg it is trivial to make an object expire every weekday at 3am). If this is not enough, you can expire objects programmatically as required, or plug in your own custom RefreshPolicy class that can dynamically decide when an object should be flushed.
Entire groups of objects can be easily flushed from the cache. For example suppose you were caching product data as well as entire pages of your website. When a product was updated, you could flush not just the product object but also all the pages that contain information about that product. No more waiting for the cached objects to expire before the updated content shows up on your site!
Portable caching
Pure Java, this means it is platform independent.
OSCache is compliant with Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 standards, which means it should work in the latest generation of servlet containers and application servers.
i18n Aware
The caching is i18n aware and supports all encodings.
Solid Reputation
Thousands of downloads, hundreds of users on the mailing list.
Comprehensive JUnit test suite that covers every aspect of OSCache, including a web stress test and various concurrent cache access scenarios. To back this up, the kind folks at Cortex have supplied us with a Clover license to provide detailed code coverage analysis of our unit tests.
We have solid issue tracking using JIRA to keep track of any feature requests, bug reports and development progress. JIRA is provided courtesy of Atlassian.
Enhancements:
- CRON expressions to expire content at specific dates and/or times.
- Pluggable EntryRefreshPolicy.
- Reduced memory consumption.
- Faster disk persistence.
- DiskPersistenceListener deadlocks are avoided if a process has no rights to delete the cache file.
- There is a new JSP tag _addgroups_, and an interface to get a list of the cache event listeners.
- The commons collection dependency has been removed.
- Java 1.3 support has been dropped.

Yahoo::Search::Request is a container object for a Yahoo! Search request. (This package is included in, and automatically loaded by, the Yahoo::Search package.)

Package Use

You never need to use this package directly -- it is loaded automatically by Yahoo::Search.

Object Creation

In practice, this class is generally not dealt with explicitly, but rather implicitly via functions in Yahoo::Search such as Query and Links, which build and use a Request object under the hood.

You also have access to the Request object via Request() method of resulting Response and Result objects.

To be clear, Request objects are created by the Request() method of a Search Engine object (Yahoo::Search).

OBEXFTP Front-End is very effective Java Swing application that uses the ObexFTP under the hood to make easier to manipulate the file system of OBEX-enabled devices.
The Open OBEX project, which is an open source project hosted in SourceForge.net, is the most successful implementation of the OBEX (OBject EXchange) protocol for Open Source Unix-based Operating Systems. Besides, it supports a wide range of devices of different models and vendors.
The only bad thing about this project is that the Open OBEX is a set of command-line programs, and they are not so friendly to the end users. We have been using the Open OBEX for some time, and we felt the need of a friendly user interface to make things easier for us - the users.
So, ObexFTP front-end is a simple - but nice - Java Swing application that uses ObexFTP under the hood to make easier to manipulate the file system of OBEX-enabled devices.
Main features:
- navigate through the devices files;
- create folders in the device;
- send file(s) to the device;
- download file(s) to your computer;
- delete files and folders;
The ObexFTP has been tested in the following Operating Systems:
- Slackware 12.0
- Ubuntu 7.0.4
If youre successfully running ObexFTP front-end in other Operating System than those listed here, please let us know!

Camera Life (FDCL) is a system for cataloging your photo collection. Camera Life project gives users the ability to search your archive by albums that you set up, or by directory structure.

Main features:
Self Updating
- When you add photos to the photo directory you specified when installing, FDCL will cache, thumnail and make public all such photos (Administration: File Manager). You can allow certain user classes to maintain your site by editing the photo descriptions and delete photos that suck.
Topic view and Folder View
- On the main page, users are presented with the option of viewing photos by topic or folder. In topic view, albums (collections of like photos) are categorized by topic (ex: People, Things, My Vacataions).
- Folder view is hierrical and based on the directory structure of the photos. When viewing a photo, users are given the option to view others photos in the same topic or folder.
Image deletion
- When viewing a photo, you have the option to delete it. When a user deletes an image, FDCL actually flags it as non-public. An admin has to actually erase it (Administration: File Manager). And when you erase it, FDCL just moves it to the erased folder. FDCL will never rm your photos. With this in mind, it is sensible to allow users to delete offensive images and admins to erase them.
Themes
- You can easily change the look of the entire site by choosing a different theme (Administration: Customize: Themes). Official themes can be downlaoded from http://fdcl.sourceforge.net other themes are available at your local supermarket (or not).
Users
- Users can anonyously sign up an account. The admins choose which accounts to give privileges to. All authentication is done by random cookies saved in the DB and passwords are salted and hashed.
Logging
- Some actions are logged to the logs table. This is done via the db_log function. You can view the logs (Administration: Log Viewer) and see the audit trail to modifications to the ssytem. You can then rollback specific action (like renaming a photo) by simply choosing the previous state to go back to.
Enhancements:
- This version adds support for Gallery Remote API, microformats, sitemaps, OpenSearch, and RSS feeds, and supports iPhoto photocasting.
- There are now photo keywords with a del.icio.us-like keyword editor.
- Checkpoints allow you to review and approve changes to the site.
- Your users can now order prints online.
- There are also big changes under the hood and some security enhancements.

Dada Mail 3.0.4 / 3.1 Alpha 1 is created to be a general purpose mailing list manager which is useful for small to medium organizations such as businesses, non-profit organizations and personal sites. A Mailing List Manager is a program that handles the subscriptions of a mailing list and in this case also sends out mailing list messages - emails that are received by everyone that is subscribed to the mailing list.

The goal in this perspective of Dada Mail is to be able to be easily installed and useful by a web-savvy person. This person does not have to be a professional web designer/developer. It is also hoped that there is much breathing room for the program to grow with the needs and expectations of whatever organization it is to be used for.

Dada Mail is also a many-tiered art project. The initial goal was to see how far a self-taught, admittedly poor math student could take a computer program, written from scratch. The answer it seems, is very very far. The idea being played with is of a person taking on a role that doesn't seem to fit them well and flourishing. This wasn't acting, this was real life. Four Years is a Long Time.

Dada Mail is also used to question the idea on what a piece of software is and what it isn't, making definitions such as "name", "function", "purpose", slippery. The creator of Dada Mail, Justin Simoni, has many more credentials as an Artist, attending the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design as a senior in their Drawing and Painting program, than he does as a Software Engineer, of which credentials he has none, except the time he has spent with projects, like Dada Mail.

Major Features :

1. Dada Mail is a Web-Based System. You don't need to remember cryptic commands to send to a special address just to have the program e-mail you back telling you youre wrong. You administrate your lists using a control panel you view through your web browser like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
2. Dada Mail Supports an Unlimited Number of Mailing Lists. Dada Mail was made from the start to be expandable. Each list can be managed separately with a different password for protection. Setting up a list can take as little as a minute to make! All list information can be changed at any time.
3. Dada Mail Is Customizable. Most pages generated by Dada Mail can be wrapped in a template a look and design that you want your list to have. Dada Mail can look exactly like the rest of your web site, making less of a separate CGI script and more a part of your web site that comes alive to your visitors. Messages Dada Mail sends can also be customized, you get to word exactly how you want your messages sent. Even the signup form that you can put on any page of your web site can be changed for your taste automatically.
4. Dada Mail Archives List Messages. Dada Mail keeps an archive of every mass mailing message it sends and also provides a simple way to view them. Archiving can be paused and archives can be hidden from your visitors but not from you the list owner.
5. Dada Mail Supports Announce-Only and Group Lists. You can extend Dada Mail with a script that's included with Dada Mail to send list messages from your own e-mail client, like Eudora or Outlook. Group Lists can be setup easily from your control panel and you can set up a thriving group discussion list.
6. Dada Mail Is Free! There is no need to have you make a decision on picking a mailing list manager by giving you a crippled "version" and then only give you the real version after you pay money for a piece of software that may not do what you really need.
   
7. Dada Mail is Supported! This entire site is provided to answer any questions you have and help you even when your Dada is installed.
   
8. Dada Mail is Easy To Use. Hard things are easy in Dada Mail. They should be. Features you don't need can be turned off if wanted. All error messages give you precise information on what went wrong and how to use it. Its more advice on how to do what your doing better than telling you youre wrong.
9. Dada Mail is Powerful. In minutes you can set up your entire list system, with announce-only lists for special e-mailings and group lists for discussion. Dada Mail can even be enhanced with the help of other programs like Majordomo another list manager and Mhonarch, an e-mail archiver.
