Free linux 1.1 software for linux

JFS for Linux project is IBMs journaling filesystem, ported to Linux.
IBMs journaled file system technology, currently used in IBM enterprise servers, is designed for high-throughput server environments, key to running intranet and other high-performance e-business file servers.
IBM is contributing this technology to the Linux open source community with the hope that some or all of it will be useful in bringing the best of journaling capabilities to the Linux operating system.
JFS is licensed under the GNU General Public License. If theres a feature that youd like to see added to JFS, consider becoming a part of the JFS development process. Since JFS is an open source project, its easy to get involved.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes some segmentation faults, buffer overflows, and infinite loops, and has some code cleanup.

Keepalived for Linux projects goal is to add a strong & robust keepalive facility to the Linux Virtual Server project. This project is written in C with multilayer TCP/IP stack checks. Keepalived implements a framework based on three family checks : Layer3, Layer4 & Layer5/7.

This framework gives the daemon the ability of checking a LVS server pool states. When one of the server of the LVS server pool is down, keepalived informs the linux kernel via a setsockopt call to remove this server entrie from the LVS topology.

In addition keepalived implements an independent VRRPv2 stack to handle director failover. So in short keepalived is a userspace daemon for LVS cluster nodes healthchecks and LVS directors failover.

Why using Keepalived ?

If your are using a LVS director to loadbalance a server pool in a production environnement, you may want to have a robust solution for healthcheck & failover.

Alpine is a modular embedded linux distribution for use in small appliances such as VPN gateways, routers, and more.

The name "Alpine" stands for A Linux Powered Integrated Network Engine.
Alpine can boot from floppy/usb/cf/cd/whatever, packages are pulled into RAM, and everything runs from RAM, just like the distros found in LEAF.

This makes for very fast application load times, and provides added security if the boot media is write-protected or removed.

Design Philosophy & Goals

Security comes very high. Everything is compiled with stack smashing protection. It costs approximately 3-5% in speed and size, but we believe its worth it. We also strive to make package configurations secure by default.

Size is also very important. Its why Alpine is an embedded distribution and not a general purpose one. We use uClibc and BusyBox as our main library and shell components. We are however willing to sacrifice some size for speedier development (see below). A typical installation medium would be a small compact flash card, not a floppy.

Innovate, dont Recreate. Our goal is to to keep Alpine as easy to maintain as possible. This means we try to use the work of others as much as possible (obviously only if its open source). By doing this we free up our development time to implement new features and improve the overall product. For example, weve written stripped down shell libraries and re-use the stock Gentoo init.d scripts.

Automation is key. We try to provide automated processes (using scripts) for everything in the build process. Alpine is an extension of the Gentoo build framework. We use scripts that simply convert the Gentoo binary packages. Many things there are similar to Gentoo.

User Friendly. Our goal is to make installation and use of Alpine extremely user friendly without compromising with security. Eventually wed like all packages to be configurable via a sophisticated web interface (webconfs). This is not yet implemented. Wed also like to implement the ability to upgrade packages while maintaining a workable configuration all with minimal impact to the service being upgraded.

Scalable. It should be possible to install Alpine in 3, 300, or 3,000 locations with a similar amount of effort. We plan to write an automated installer, centralized repository manager, centralized configuration manager, and monitoring tools.

XGL on Debian GNU/Linux is a script which will install XGL, Beryl and nVidia drivers on your Debian system. The script is only for users who have got a nvidia graphic card.
If you have already installed nvidia driver from the official website, please uninstall them before executing this script.
3 languages available:
- French
- English
- Polish
HOW TO EXECUTE:
Open a terminal and do sh xgl-debian.sh
Enhancements:
- add choice between ATI or nVidia drivers
- ask user if he want to update his system
