Free mint software for linux

Mint is a small X toolbar that can switch network configurations in a few keystrokes. Mint enables you to change your network configurations in a few keystrokes. It supports DHCP and static addresses, and can execute an authentication script when it changes the configuration. It also displays a clock and a battery meter.
mint displays the name of current network configuration. It also displays a clock and a battery meter. The battery meter shows the percentage of remaining battery life and appends a `+ to the battery life when AC power is connected.
Since it changes network configuration, mint must be run setuid root. It safely invokes the authentication script as the user who started mint, not root.
mint provides a network configuration called "off" to shutdown the network interface. mint displays "?" if it does not recognize the current network configuration. It displays "xx" if the network interface does not exist.
The authentication script is run in the background. When you switch network configuration, mint kills any previously running authentication script. For DHCP configurations, mint does does not run the authentication script if the DHCP request fails.
DHCP support is made by the "dhcpcd" command, which mint expects to find in /sbin. dhcpcd should have come with your Linux distribution; if not you can get it from http://www.phystech.com/download/dhcpcd.html.
Enhancements:
- The beta version of Bianca was released and is available for download. Bianca comes with two brand new themes: Bianca-Blue and Bianca-Green which give the distribution a whole new minty look. Only one panel at the bottom, a Slab-like menu, new default icons. The following applications were added to Bianca: mintMenu, a replacement for the GNOME menu; mintConfig, a Control Center application; mintDisk, a program which automatically mounts FAT32 and NTFS partitions; mintDesktop, which now comes as a package, has a graphical configuration front-end; mintWifi, which now comes as a package.

Linux Mints purpose is to produce an elegant, up to date and comfortable GNU/Linux desktop distribution.
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.

Demokritos is a server implementation of the Atom Publishing Protocol.
Demokritos also provides a library that can be used for the development of other Atom-related applications.
Usage:
To run a test server, cd to test directory and run test_server.py
client_test.py in the same directory will run through a sequence of tests on this.
Enhancements:
- Duplicates are now handled in URI minting.
- A feeds updated property after a removal of an entry is now current datetime (not that of the latest entry).
- Posts missing a media type now throw an exception.

Noid is a Perl module that contains routines to mint and manage nice opaque identifiers.

SYNOPSIS

use Noid; # import routines into a Perl script

$dbreport = Noid::dbcreate( # create minter database & printable
$dbdir, $contact, # report on its properties; $contact
$template, $term, # is string identifying the operator
$naan, $naa, # (authentication information); the
$subnaa ); # report is printable

$noid = Noid::dbopen( $dbname, $flags ); # open a minter, optionally
$flags = 0 | DB_RDONLY; # in read only mode

Noid::mint( $noid, $contact, $pepper ); # generate an identifier

Noid::dbclose( $noid ); # close minter when done

Noid::checkchar( $id ); # if id ends in +, replace with new check
# char and return full id, else return id
# if current check char valid, else return
# undef

Noid::validate( $noid, # check that ids conform to template ("-"
$template, # means use minters template); returns
@ids ); # array of corresponding strings, errors
# beginning with "iderr:"

$n = Noid::bind( $noid, $contact, # bind data to identifier; set
$validate, $how, # $validate to 0 if id. doesnt
$id, $elem, $value ); # need to conform to a template

Noid::note( $noid, $contact, $key, $value ); # add an internal note

Noid::fetch( $noid, $verbose, # fetch bound data; set $verbose
$id, @elems ); # to 1 to return labels

print Noid::dbinfo( $noid, # get minter information; level
$level ); # brief (default), full, or dump
Noid::getnoid( $noid, $varname ); # get arbitrary named internal
# variable

Noid::hold( $noid, $contact, # place or release hold; return
$on_off, @ids ); # 1 on success, 0 on error
Noid::hold_set( $noid, $id );
Noid::hold_release( $noid, $id );

Noid::parse_template( $template, # read template for errors, returning
$prefix, $mask, # namespace size (NOLIMIT=unbounded)
$gen_type, # or 0 on error; $message, $gen_type,
$message ); # $prefix, & $mask are output params

Noid::queue( $noid, $contact, # return strings for queue attempts
$when, @ids ); # (failures start "error:")

Noid::n2xdig( $num, $mask ); # show identifier matching ord. $num

Noid::sample( $noid, $num ); # show random ident. less than $num

Noid::scope( $noid ); # show range of ids inside the minter

print Noid::errmsg( $noid, $reset ); # print message from failed call
$reset = undef | 1; # use 1 to clear error message buffer

Noid::addmsg( $noid, $message ); # add message to error message buffer

Noid::logmsg( $noid, $message ); # write message to minter log

Candido is a GTK theme which offers smooth things and feelings.
"Candido" is an Italian word that means "candid", smooth things and feelings...
This theme is provided with this good feeling. :)
"Candido" is based on "Gray" theme by me and then Mint.
For the rest... Theres two version of "Candido", (the Light one is a little bit bright, from #e7e7e7 to #eaeaea for the background, and it has different tabs).
Im planning new colored versions and a package with a few modified window borders.
Please ask me before make any *color* mods, because Im planning to do new colored versions in the future!
Please comment is you have found any bug or if you request some new features! Suggestions are always welcomed !
Enhancements:
- Added a check-radio button in Candido-Light that Ive forgotten to add in the 1.1 release.
- Updated xfwm4 theme, now Candido-Light port is included.
