Ch Standard Edition 5.0
Ch is an embeddable C/C++ interpreter for scripting and numerical computing. more>>
- Embedded Scripting
- Enterprise
- Academic
- Plotting and Numerical Computing
C++ is C plus plus minus. Ch is C plus (Ch = C+). Ch is a C interpreter. Ch is C with classes and high-level extensions. Ch is a superset of C. Note that C++ is no longer a superset of C. For example, VLA and IEEE floating-point arithmetic in C are not supported in C++.
C is for low-level system programming and embedded systems; C++ for large-scale projects. Ch is optimal for platform-independent scripting in numerical computing and visualization, rapid application development, Web programming and plotting, embedded scripting, shell programming and integration with legacy systems.
Like C++, Ch is designed to be a superset of C, which means a C program can run in Ch without modification. Unlike C++ which is designed for serious professional programmers (elite), Ch is designed for both novice beginners with no computer experience (average Joe and John) as well as experienced programmers.

Linux Mint 2.2 (KDE Edition)
Linux Mints purpose is to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution. more>>
Is Linux Mint suitable for companies?
Yes. Linux Mint offers paid commercial support to companies and individuals. Free community support is also available from the forums and the IRC channel. The main purpose of Linux Mint is to innovate and constantly bring the best desktop solutions to its users. For this reason, the release cycle is fast and a new version of Linux Mint can be released every month or every two months. All released versions of Linux Mint are actively supported and some of the releases (possibly Bianca or Cassandra) will come with a Long Term Support guarantee (a guarantee that our Support Center will support these releases for the years to come).
Is Linux Mint suitable for individuals?
Yes, definitely. We believe Linux is the best operating system on the market. There are more than 300 active Linux distributions and were working hard at becoming the best alternative for your desktop. This is a tough competition as there are other great desktop operating systems and distributions out there. We have faith in the quality of our desktop and a lot of great ideas. If your computer is a PC and you have more than 512MB RAM you should try Linux Mint and see what you think about it. If youre running a 5 years old non-free operating system such as Microsoft Windows XP you should definitely be impressed. We like hearing about your experience and taking your suggestions onboard so please give us your feedback.
Why is there a Light Edition and a Full Edition?
Linux Mint respects the GPL and it also respects the copyrights and licenses of the proprietary software it distributes. However it uses technologies that have been patented in some parts of the World. Most countries do not recognize the legitimacy of software patents so for most of our users this is not a problem. But if youre unlucky and you live in a country where software patents are legally enforcable, you need a version of Linux Mint which is free of patented technologies, and this is what the Light Edition is about.
Why does Linux Mint include proprietary drivers?
It doesnt. If it did, it would be legally wrong (because it would violate the GPL) or ethically wrong (if some dirty trick was used for the user to link the code to the kernel for instance).
What about proprietary software?
We believe in open source and release all our work with the corresponding source code. We owe a lot to the Free Software movement and to the GPL but we also owe a lot to all the developers who contributed ideas and tools and who made software better and better throughout the years. Some of them released their source code as well and thus granted us more freedom and more flexibility. Others released their software with proprietary licenses and although this didnt give us the freedom we would have liked it still contributed to make software better. We like Software in general, Free Software even more, but we do not believe in boycotting Proprietary Software.
Enhancements:
- KDE 3.5.6
- Amarok 1.4.5

1060 NetKernel Standard Edition 3.2
1060 NetKernel is a resource oriented microkernel and application server. more>>
Resource Oriented Microkernel
The heart of NetKernel is a high-performance, carefully designed, and tightly crafted microkernel. Services and resources within NetKernel are located by URI addresses, just as resources are located on the World Wide Web. NetKernel implements and extends REST 1 into a general-purpose processing abstraction and allows it to be applied to the finest granularity of software systems to achieve phenominal performance; just as the REST Web-architecture achieves global scaling and high performance.
Coherent Abstraction
NetKernel unifies code execution and resource identification into a single addressing and processing abstraction. With this, software development becomes a process of construction (coding services), composition (linking and issuing service and resource requests), and constraint (restricting data values and honoring boundaries).
The simplicity of URI identified resources means that the results of service calls can be cached just as other resources, resulting in self-optimizing software where computation cost is a guaranteed minima.
Reduce Software Complexity
The unification of resources and services with URI addressing radically reduces sofware complexity. Because resources are addressed by URI and each request is a Web-like REST request dispatched to the microkernel, binding between clients and services occurs dynamically for each request. This late binding and the indirection of logical URI addressing results in a loosely coupled system which may be easily adapted. In fact, NetKernel supports dynamic upgrading of software and can support multiple versions of the same components simultaneously.
Complexity brought about by system growth is also managed through the URI address space which may be remodelled and extended indefinitely. A complex aggregation of services may always be abstracted into one or more higher-level services surfaced through URI interfaces.
Main features:
Manage Complexity
- NetKernels unification of resource and service addressing through the active URI scheme combined with late binding and loose typing means that complex systems can be partitioned not just into smaller coorperating systems, you can now create micro-services that hide complexity.
- With NetKernel, design and build larger and more ambitious systems while maintaining control of complexity.
Process XML with ease!
- Processing XML is often just too difficult. But the potential of XML is communication with almost no limit. How to harness and leverage the potential of XML? NetKernel provides hundreds of XML technologies as simple services (no APIs). Simply compose XML services into powerful message processes...
Integrate diverse technologies, apply business logic
- NetKernels uniform URI addressing of resources and service allow you to encapsulate and hide the complexities of any technology, whether it is a Java API, legacy code, or remote corporate systems. Once encapsulated, develop new coordination logic in one of NetKernels scripting languages.
Transport technology independence
- Write a service or application and deploy it to service requests from multiple transports concurrently. NetKernel makes it easy to utilize SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, HTTP, JMS, Email, and Cron.
Extreme performance from intra-application caching
- NetKernels fine-grained dependency cache transparently and opportunistically caches the results of all micro-service requests. NetKernel processes are self-optimizing with guaranteed minimal processing required for a given transaction.
Team Player
- NetKernel has several deployment options that allow it to play well with other technologies and systems. Deploy NetKernel as an advanced standalone application server, as an embedded "co-processor" within existing J2EE applications, as a JMS message processor, as a SOAP client or server, or as an embedded component within any application.
Enhancements:
- New features include support for Berkeley DBXML and PiNKY, a community developed module providing Yahoo! Pipes features.
- Updates include Groovy language support at release 1.0, Ruby (JRuby) support at 0.9.9, and XML library updates.

Boston University Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac)
Boston University Linux is based on Fedora Core Linux, but specifically tailored for the BU environment. more>>
Weve added security updates, made modifications to make software work better with the way things are set up here, and added some applications that we think you might like to have.
The server edition of BU Linux provides a modern, stable, and robust server platform suitable for long-term deployment in many roles throughout the university.
Supported Hardware
Currently, only i686-class machines are supported. This includes almost everything from Intels Pentium Pro on. AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems will work fine using their 32-bit mode. Watch for a 64-bit version later this summer.
Specific Notes on Server Applications
Mail Server:
BU Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac) includes three different choices of Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for your mail server. Each of these open source servers has its unique strengths, and you can install one or more and use the utility system-switch-mail to choose which is active.
The default is IBMs Postfix, which is designed from scratch to be secure and easily configurable. On a newly-installed BU Linux machine, Postfix is configured to exchange mail on the local machine and to send mail out to other systems, but not receive mail from the network. For this reason, outgoing mail from global BU accounts (those matching valid BU login names and with the proper UID) will appear to come from @bu.edu rather than @hostname.bu.edu. Local users (including system accounts) will retain the hostname, but without reconfiguration, any replies will bounce. Changing the system to accept mail is easy; see the BU Linux web site for details.
For the maximum flexibility and for compatibility with existing configurations (and with existing expertise), we also include the traditional standard Sendmail. And, if you have particular special needs, you may find that the new Exim MTA fits your situation best.
No matter which MTA you choose, please contact us if you need any assistance. With so many options available, the situation can be confusing, and its unfortunately easy for an accidentally misconfigured system to become a target for spam relayers. We have significant expertise at configuring both Postfix and Sendmail in a variety of situations, and will be glad to help.
FTP Server:
This release of BU Linux provides two options for FTP. The first is vsftpd, which is designed to be simple and secure. This is the most appropriate for almost all situations, but if you require more power and flexibility, we also include ProFTPd, which has many more options and a configuration syntax similar to that of the Apache web server.
Please also remember that FTP is an insecure protocol and that any passwords used travel over the network in plain text. For this reason, its best to avoid anything but anonymous FTP. For user-authenticated file transfer, use SSH and SFTP. (SFTP is provided by the OpenSSH server and enabled by default.)
Web Server:
The web server software included in BU Linux is the industry-standard Apache httpd. We also include PHP 4.3 and many other useful tools for building a web server.
If you need to provide authenticated access to web services to BU users, please contact us and we will provide you with our University-standard Weblogin module. This provides a powerful and flexible means of single-signon access control for the BU user community and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide this for your users.
Database Server:
BU Linux includes MySQL 4.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4. For less demanding SQL applications, we also provide SQLite 3, which provides simple SQL databases without the management overhead of running a SQL server.
Scalix Community Edition Raw 10
Scalix Community Edition Raw (CE Raw) is functionally equivalent to Scalixs Community Edition software. more>>
