Free minimum software for linux

Minimum Profit is a FREE text editor for programmers.
If you are reading this (you are), you probably know what a text editor is and thus I wont explain what open file, search and replace, tab size and things like those, means. Only the special or not-so-intuitive features will be explained. In any other aspect, mp is just like
the text editor you were using until today, before youve found this unknown jewel that will change your life.
Much of Minimum Profits behaviour is changeable from a configuration file, as key bindings, colors, the menu and other variables. Take a look at mprc.sample for details. The configuration files for Unix systems are /etc/mprc and $HOME/.mprc (see below to know how to set it in Win32).
Minimum Profit includes several interfaces:
- curses: the good old text interface. You need any Unix (Linux, Solaris, IRIX, any BSD...) and the curses or ncurses library. It was also sucessfully compiled under BeOS (with a locally compiled ncurses) many years ago.
- GTK: You need any X11 system with the GTK+ libraries installed. Support for GTK versions 1.2 and 2.0 is provided.
- Win32: You need Microsoft Windows 95 or later and the lccwin32 compiler.
Main features:
- Multiple files can be edited at the same time and blocks copied and pasted among them.
- Syntax highlighting for many popular languages / file formats: C, C++, Perl, Shell Scripts, Ruby, Php, SQL, Python, HTML...
- Creative use of tags: tags created by the external utility ctags are used to move instantaneously to functions or variables inside your current source tree. Tags are visually highlighted (underlined), and symbol completion can be triggered to avoid typing your own function names over and over.
- Intelligent help system: pressing F1 over any word of a text being edited triggers the underlying system help (calling man when editing C or Shell files, perldoc with Perl, ri on Ruby, winhelp on MS Windows...).
- Understandable interface: drop-down menus, reasonable default key bindings.
- Configurable keys, menus and colors.
- Text templates can be easily defined / accessed.
- Multiplatform: Console/curses, GTK+ (1.2 and 2.0), MS Windows.
- Automatic indentation, word wrapping, internal grep, learning / repeating functions.
- Search and replace using plain text or regular expressions (including a special function to replace text on all open files).
- Small memory footprint.
- Multilingual.
- Password-protected, encrypted text files (using the ARCFOUR algorithm).
- It helps you abandon vi, emacs and other six-legged freaks definitely.
- Awesome easter egg.
Installation
To compile under any Unix flavour, just run
$ ./config.sh
$ make
The first step should automatically detect all usable interfaces and
additional libraries and leave a Makefile behind. Previous Minimum Profit
versions used to need GNU Make; this is no longer true. By running
$ ./config.sh --help
you can see a list of tweakable options. Also, a bunch of README.* files are
included with Minimum Profits standard distribution with information
specific to many systems and cross-compilers. Notoriously, if you have
the mingw32 cross-compiler suite in your Unix system, you can build an
MS Windows binary pretty easily (README.mingw32).
To install just run (as root):
# make install
and it will be instaled in /usr/local/bin. You can select an alternate
installation directory in the configuration phase; for example, to install
it on /usr/bin, do
$ ./config.sh --prefix=/usr/bin
Enhancements:
- This new release features a new complete action, that asks for completion on the current word using any of the words found in the same document, a new redo action, to revert undo operations, the global configuration file `/etc/mp.mpsl is also executed, in the replace action, the substitution string can contain the special character and , that will be replaced by the matched string (as in the `sed command line tool), and more documentation.

PCLinuxOS project is one of the worlds up and coming providers of a Linux Desktop Solution. With a small but dedicated development team, PClinuxOS delivers Desktop Ready Software that harnesses the power of the Open Source Community.

PCLinuxOS 0.93 MiniME is available for download and testing. This release is for those who have been asking for a minimum livecd/hd install allowing for full personalization.

This release includes 2.6.15-oci3 kernel, Basic KDE 3.5.2 desktop (kdebase and kdelibs only) , PCLOS Control Center, the Synaptic Software Installer and a customized xorg server from Thac to provide additional 3D support for many graphic cards. Full Version of PCLinuxOS 0.93 is currently being worked up and should be available soon.

InspIRCd is a modular C++ IRC Daemon for Linux, BSD and Windows systems created to provide a stable, modern, lightweight ircd (irc server) from scratch and provide a vast number of features in a modularised form using an advanced module API.

By keeping the functionality of the main core to a minimum we hope to increase the stability and speed of our project and make it customisable to the needs of many users. InspIRCd is designed primarily to be a custom irc server for the chatspike irc network (irc.chatspike.net) but we are releasing it into the public domain under GPL so that you may benifit yourself from our work.

InspIRCd is written from scratch, avoiding the inherent instability under large loads which can be seen in many other irc server distributions which have the same featureset.

Random Music plays random MP3 tracks from your music collection. It maintains a flat database of tracks, detailed genres, and weights, and generates a weighted random playlist from the user-selected genres.
The ID3 and ID3v2 fields (title/artist/album), detailed genre, and weight (0-9) for the currently-playing track can be edited, and tracks can be removed from the playlist.
For example, a user can select only tracks with a minimum weight of 5 from the subgenres "Pop - 1970s" and "R&B - 1970s", and the playlist will adjust accordingly.
Enhancements:
- This release adds features to the playlist editor.
- Playlist entries now include the album name, and selected tracks can be moved up or down.

gnome-settings-visualeffects allows the control of the xcompmgr composite manager, it provides the user with control of the shadow radius,opacity,offsets and colour, and the speed of fades and where they are applied.
Main features:
- Splitting shadow configuration into active and inactive windows
- Adding a path locator and version checker for xcompmgr/transset
- Incorporating window translucency (decided on a minimum of 25%)
- Window translucency can be added to active/inactive windows by single windows or window types i.e. File Chooser, applications or application children, and Im hoping that I can make this persistent.
- Increase compatibility with gdesklets
- Propose to luminocity developers a configuration standard for these types of settings, therefore improving the future of the project.
- Incorporate code from xcompmgr/transset to reduce reliance on what are intended to be demos rather than real life tools.
- Notification area tool/Panel applet for accessing effects quickly.

CGILua is a tool for creating dynamic HTML pages and manipulating input data from forms. It is simple but powerful, allowing complex tasks to be carried out with minimum effort.
CGILua uses the interpreted language Lua as a server-side scripting language for creating dynamic Web pages.
CGILuas architecture is divided into two layers. On the first layer reside the launchers. All of them implement a Basic API which is used by the second layer giving it portability.
On the second layer reside most of CGILua: HTML pre-processing, POST data processing, URL-encoding etc.
Enhancements:
- CGILua distribution includes now only the Lua files, the launchers have been moved to Kepler.
- The Stable library is now distributed with VEnv.
- Fixed a file upload bug in the CGI and Xavante launchers.
- cgilua.lp.include() now accepts an environment to run the preprocessed file in it.

plugmon is a basic system monitoring utility with minimal configuration requirements.

Filesystems, kernel messages, and daemons are monitored from a standalone binary that only requires an email address as configuration.

plugmon project can be started from an init script or a cronjob. No central service is needed. It aims to give a minimum of false alarms.

Usage:

Install plugmon program.
Call "plugmon --mailto my.mail@address" from an rc script.
Or call it from a cronjob. Plugmon will check if its already running.
