Free linux 0.4.0 software for linux

Deep-Water Linux is a half minimalist software distribution using the linux kernel released under the terms of the gnu gpl license v2.

Originaly i designed it for myself to make my work a bit easyer - it was a few years ago when there were not so many live distributions that fit my needs - i needed something more than "minimal" but not something that would need more than 2-3 minutes to load requireing hardware, that i couldnt afford.

So i designed a small system for myself that i could use whenever i broke my "harddisk" distro so much, that it was impossible to repair the system from inside of it. I started using the system as a sort of a rescue system and i installed it on my computer as a sort of a neighbour to other systems that i have used.

Then i thought other people might find it interesting, if not as a whole, than atleast a part of it, or maybe they might like to use it for some "rescue job". I was messing arround with xlib and tcl/tk, so i added some programs to ease a users life - like a panel, icons, file-manager. You see, i thought it is stupid to just copy someones work and then re-distribute it in my name - i hate the kind of distros where the "developers" just change the background of some well known distro and then give it a new name.

In my distro you wont find so many tools, it evean might not work good, it evean can make you angry "make you laugh, or cry", but atleast i can say, that many things in this system is my work - i programmed deep-panel/ deep-view/ deep-icons/ made a new hackedbox"a hack of blackbox"/designed the startup and many other things.

There are 2 version-types of the distro - the first copying the whole system in the memmory and the second copying only a part of itself - the first is for people with older hardware with little memmory and the second for boxes with memmory atleast 128MB. I know that there are many systems out there that are better and im not saying that its good to use this distro on an everyday basis, but if you find some inspiration in it, or if you use it as a rescue system, or want to use deep-view to browse/edit some files or to display image galleries and your "real" system is broke, if you find any use of it than im happy enough.

- All libraries are now properties in build.xml
- (PJS) If somehow libpriority fails, dont crash the audioserver because of that....
- (PJS) libpriority for amd64
- (PJS) Added ant run target (runs the jar with 512m)
- (PJL) added configure setting for javasound server. Allow setting of: priority of audioprocess thread / underruns before server aborts START/STOP
- (PJL) support for multiplexed javasound IO devices. (e.g. 10 inputs appear in a single line)
- (PJL) Configure frame for adjusting audioserver setting (Javasound)
- (PJS) Watchdog-like functionality in PriorityAudioServer to prevent system from hanging
- (PJS) setVisible before setSize assures that the window doesnt open blank (happens always when using XGL (compiz/beryl))
- (PJL) Added setting to disable views or set cursor jump increment when playing (allows reduction of CPU load)
- (PJS) Frinika SynthRack only supported NoteOn vel 0, and not NoteOff messages
- (KH) Bugfix so that window doesnt become blank during playback

DrawPile is a collaborative drawing program, similar to OpenCanvas. It is currently under planning stages. DrawPile project will use Qt4 and will be available for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Hosting Backup provides a set of scripts for backing up your hosted Web sites.
Hosting Backup is a set if PHP command line scripts that provides an easy way to backup hosted Web sites to your local computer. It works with sites hosted on Linux servers with MySQL databases using FTP.
HostingBackup uses lftp (http://lftp.yar.ru/) to download all the files from your remote server.
HostingBackup uses rc4 encryption, so you do not need to have PHP compiled with mcrypt.
HostingBackup is tested on Linux local computer with PHP 4.3.x and lftp 3.0.x.
The remote component will manage some operations like optimization and dump of MySQL databases.
The local component will manage the execution of backups and other utilities like the generation of crypted passwords and the automatic installation of the remote component.
To allow an easy way to backup all hosted MySQL databases we store the main password for the account directly on the remote server, crypted with rc4.
When we call the dump script we pass the decrypt key.
To catch the login data an hacker should read the crypted password written on the server and intercept the key on the net.
Enhancements:
- Add: "--comments=false" to mysqldump
- Add: "set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;" to mysqldump
- Add: "--add-drop-table" to mysqldump
