NeWBIE LiveCD 0.2
NeWBIE LiveCD is a NetBSD based distro geared towards the desktop user. more>>
NeWBIE LiveCD is a NetBSD based distro geared towards the desktop user.
It includes software for Web browsing, chatting, multimedia, and document editing.
This acronym NeWBIE is pronounced just like the word "newbie" and stands for (Ne)tBSD (W)are (B)urned (I)n (E)conomy.
Newbie is a NetBSD (v. 3.0) live CD similar in spirit to the well-known FreeSBIE live CD. Newbie currently caters to the desktop-user (i.e. with applications for web browsing, chat, multimedia, document editing, etc) but will also serve as a core for creating a NetBSD version of Arudius (see below) - a network security auditing tool.
Why based on NetBSD? Because contrary to the popular opinion, NetBSD is not some obscure *BSD flavor that is only good for powering your toaster, but is a powerful, flexible and highly portable operating system.
In many aspects it is better than its more famous cousins. Did you know that NetBSD recently broke the speed record for network data transfer? And what about speed and scalability?
Enhancements:
- This release cleans up the boot process and adds a GUI tool for easy setup of the modem/DSL connection.
- More productivity tools are included (e.g. a file manager, spreadsheet, Samba, wireless AP detection, sniffer, network analysis, etc.).

Q4W 0.1 Beta1
Q4W stands for Quake 4 World, an obvious reference to QuakeWorld. more>>
The Q4W Mod project came in our minds a few days after the release of Quake 4. Out of the box, the whole gameplay wasnt very exciting for a part of the french Q3 community. After some chatting, we found out that we were many looking for the same kind of game and also ready to spend some time to tweak it in that way.
Q4W stands for Quake 4 World, an obvious reference to QuakeWorld. So, what is it ? A return in the past to make Q4 feels like QW ? Yes and no, as we want to bring back some features of QW, but not only :
Q3 and Q4 have also great features we still want to find.
The whole idea is to have a game really fast, where movements can make the decision in a fight, and not only aiming. Where controlling a specific zone is really important, with precious items. A game where base weapons are not almost equals to the bigger ones. A game offering best of both world weapons, without making one too much powerful in a defensive situation.
We offer anticipation weapons and hitscan weapons, and they hurt a lot. Theyll hurt you bad. Its about domination, its not really newbie friendly, because spawnfrags are back. Our goal is to offer to the Quake Community a different kind of game, tricks, base on speed, fun and what we think a better gameplay.
Controlling the game is really important, a situation can turnover very quickly. No minimum time for respawn and a maximum of 2", respawn at 110/0 with only a MG with not much ammunitions... youll learn how to win the hard way.
The weapons
In simple words, you have a new Rocket Launcher firing at a greater rate (.75), with faster rockets (1100), doing more damage (110). You also have a Lightning Gun doing a great amount of damage on short range fight, way more than Q3 and Q4, but a bit less than QW (250 damage/s) and you still have the RailGun. But its reload time is slower (1.8") and you have less slugs (5), so camping with it is shorten.
Oh yes, the hitbox is smaller. Other weapons are a bit changed also, ShotGun reloads slower, Grenade Launcher is basically the same but doing more damage (110) and the base weapon is no more a big threat (5 damage per bullet).
The armors
With so much powerful weapons, you need to gain a good protection if you want to live long. There again, one armor type is clearly the choice : Red Armor. It gives you 200 armor points and will protects you by 80%. Oh, did I mention that armor points do not tickdown ? Then you have the Yellow Armor, giving 100 armor points, and protecting less than the RA. And at the bottom, the Green Armor, a new one for Q4, giving 50 armor points and again less protection.
So the whole armor system is new, not only because of the value of the armors and their protection level, but also because you are stick to the type of armor you have, and if you can always pick a better armor, if you need to take a weaker one, youll have to have less than 25% left of your armor type value (for example, if you pick a RA, you will need to have less than 50 armor points left to grab a YA).
Read me clearly : an armor sets you to its value, its not an add. If you have 75 armor points, taking a YA (supposing you can) will set you at 100 armor points. Shards are still there, and they inherit your armor type when you grab them. The maximum armor you can have is 200. Of course, to take an armor you need to have less than its value, as well as the correct rights (explained above).
Of course, RA spawns less often than YA and GA. On team games if you lose RA control, I recommend to check for the Quad. It respawns sooner (every 90") and deserve its name : four times the damage.
The beauty of movements
You move faster in Q4W than in vQ4. Not only your speed has been increased, but also all the movements that make Quake what it is are there : straffe-jump of course, circle-jump, ramp-jump, slide-jump but we bring back also bunny-hop and multiple-jump (double-jump is the most famous). Air control is greater also, so you can make very nice moves and being a bit less an easy target while in the air. Thats a lot of work on the physics of the game, but its worth the effort.
On a fun side, we also offer the ability to run over the water at a certain speed, with some restriction in movements, and that could really be an upside for differents type of game (CTF and Defrag seem the more obvious).
To increase again the speed of the game, and make movements less predictable, we make the teleporters able to keep your speed and directions vector through them : so, yes, you can Rocket Jump through teleporters ! And they contribute to increase your speed, making a little push on you.
The more you are, the more fun you have
Arent you tired of fighting one on one ? Or team A versus Team B ? Why should we stick to 2 teams ? Q4W bring the ability to play at up to 8 different teams on the same game ! What about a TDM game with three teams ? How about a 2v2v2v2 game, heh ? Its up to you.
Standard look and feel
Of course, brightskins are in standard (white, pink, blue, red, yellow, orange, green and purple), HUD is new with a weapons control bar to know at any time what weapon you have in stock, and how many ammunitions left in it. Simple items are also provided, fov is unlocked, admin and team control is provided, game statistics, timer works in the same way than Q3, overtime has been corrected, etc, etc.

Config::Model 1.003 (Config::Model::CursesUI)
Config::Model provides a framework to help in validating the semantic content of configuration data. more>>
Config::Model provides a framework to help in validating the semantic content of configuration data. The project can also be used to provide a semantic check of options of a complex program like mplayer or transcode.
For most complex software, configuration upgrade is a difficult task for most people. By using Config::Model, a software can provide a smooth upgrade path for their users.
How does this work ?
Using this project, a typical configuration validation tool will be made of 3 parts :
The user interface
The validation engine which is in charge of validating all the configuration information provided by the user.
The storage facility that store the configuration information
Dont we already have some configuration validation tools ?
Youre probably thinking of tools like webmin. Yes, these tools exist and work fine, but they have their set of drawbacks.
Usually, the validation of configuration data is done with a script which performs semantic validation and often ends up being quite complex (e.g. 2500 lines for Debians xserver-xorg.config script which handles xorg.conf file).
In most cases, the configuration model is expressed in instructions (whatever programming language is used) and interspersed with a lot of processing to handle the actual configuration data.
Whats the advantage of this project ?
The Config::Model projects provide a way to get a validation engine where the configuration model is completely separated from the actual processing instruction.
The configuration model is expressed in a declarative form (i.e. a Perl data structure) which is always easier to maintain than a lot of code.
The declaration specifies:
the structure of the configuration data (which can be queried by generic user interfaces)
the properties of each element (boundaries, check, integer or string, enum like type ...)
the default values of parameters (if any)
mandatory parameters
the targeted audience (intermediate, advance, master)
on-line help (for ach parameter or value of parameter)
the level of expertise of each parameter (to hide expert parameters from newbie eyes)
So, in the end:
maintenance and evolution of the configuration content is easier
user will see a *common* interface for *all* programs using this project.
user will not see advanced parameters
upgrade of configuration data is easier and sanity check is performed
audit of configuration is possible to check what was modified by the user compated to default values
What about the user interface ?
Config::Model will also come with a Curses::UI interface that queries the users model and generate the relevant user screens.
What about data storage ?
Since the syntax of configuration files vary wildly form one program to another, most people who want to use this framework will have to provide a dedicated parser/writer.
Nevertheless, this project can also provide a writer/parser for most common format: like ini style file, or provide an interface to the Elektra or debconf projects. This point is open for discussion.
It is entirely possible for a single configuration model to use several parsers and writers so one model will ensure the consistency of several configuration files together.
Enhancements:
- The Xorg model was updated to Config::model version 0.609.
- Some bugs were fixed.

IPchains Firewalling Webmin Module 0.83.1
IPchains Firewalling Webmin Module allows you to easily maintain a firewall based on ipchains with the Webmin look and feel. more>>
IPchains Firewalling Webmin Module allows you to easily maintain a firewall based on ipchains with the Webmin look and feel.
This module creates a shell script containing all system calls for ipchains. You can modify the chains and the rules in these chains. All changes are written to the script, which must then be executed (possible within the module). The module can import the current system settings so that you can migrate from other tools very easy and do not need to build up the complete firewall a second time. The current version offers three different operation modes:
Newbie: Select one from 5 predefined security levels. This will activate a predefined ruleset. There are two different sets of rulesets, one for a Personal Firewall and one for a Router Firewall
Template: Select from a big list of protocols and directions which traffic should be allowed to pass through the firewall
Expert: This mode is the original one. You can define the settings for each rule in detail and change everything
The installation is quite simple: Login to your Webmin as admin (or whatever you called the adminstrative user) and go to the Webmin tab, then choose "Webmin Configuration". Now click on "Webmin Modules". Give the file in the first box (you can choose any installation method, all should work). Hit Install. Now the module is being installed.

gmodconfig 0.6
gmodconfig aims to provide a simple way for end-users to download, install, configure and update Linux kernel modules. more>>
gmodconfig aims to provide a simple way for end-users to download, install, configure and update Linux kernel modules, in the language of their choosing, through an easy-to-use graphic interface.
gmodconfig is a Gnome application which allows Linux users to:
Main features:
- configure kernel modules parameters, in their native language (if such translations exist),
- check for new versions of kernel modules, as well as download, build and install those
- access kernel modules informations (license, authors, link to website)
Its mainly aimed at inexperienced Linux users, however even long time Linux users might find it useful!
A user might have to set or modify kernel modules parameters in order to get a device driver to work properly on his/her system. One way to assign values to kernel modules parameters is to edit the /etc/modules.conf file. Another way is to load the kernel modules manually on the command line and pass them parameter values at that time. Neither of which is convenient or doable by non-experienced users.
Non-English speakers might find configuring kernel modules parameters even more difficult since informations on parameters returned by modinfo are only available in English.
Another obstacle is that the set of valid parameters values is not always apparent in modinfos output. For example an "on/off" type of parameter will be documented as being an integer, since boolean is not a supported type. Or an integer parameter whose valid values are 0, 1 and 2 might be documented as integer instead of a [0,2] array. This might make it difficult to users to figure out which values can be assigned to a parameter.
Checking for updates, download, build and install a new version of a Linux kernel module is not an easy task for newbie Linux users. There ought to be an easy and automated way to do all this.
gmodconfig solves these problems by reading accurate parameter types, parameter descriptions translations, and extra informations such as a link to the module authors website from XML files, that are released along with gmodconfig. Using this data as well as modinfos output, gmodconfig is able to dynamically build a user-friendly graphic interface which presents the list of parameters that each kernel modules supports.
Boolean parameters can be toggled on and off with a check box. Array parameters, that is, parameters whose valid values fall between a "min" and a "max" values are represented by a pulldown list. Other types of parameters are simple text entry fields.
Users can navigate through the available modules or search a module by name, change parameters settings at will, and will be able (in a future release) to "give it a try" by (re)loading modules, all from the graphic interface. Unsaved modifications can be cancelled at any time, and can also be written out to the /etc/modules.conf configuration file.
Users have the ability to check for new releases of a module if the module author is keeping an XSA file up-to-date on the Net. The gmodconfigedit tool helps module authors create and update those XSA files.
Finally, gmodconfig supports downloading and installing DKMS packages (work in progress).

quicktables is an iptables firewall and firewall / nat (gateway) script generator. it was created to provide a secure set of iptables rules quickly, while still maintaining few requirements (sh and ifconfig pretty much). quicktables will ask you to answer a small handful of questions, and generates your very own personalized firewall or script.
quicktables mailing lists are ready and open. please follow the mailing lists link above for subscription info. the qtables-users list has replaced the comments and help forums which were previously on this site.
When you run quicktables you will be asked a series of questions. If you dont fully understand any of the questions, please read the questions and example answers and descriptions below. you might not be prompted to answer some of the questions that you see described below. For example if you dont answer yes to the nat question the script will skip the nat related questions. some of the questions arent really questions, but ill describe them as well.
Main features:
- nat and no nat (firewall only) options
- default policy of DROP on INPUT and FORWARD chains (all packets dropped)
- tcp and udp ACCEPTs on INPUT chain (open ports to the firewall machine)
- tcp and upd port forwarding with nat (forward ports to multiple internal hosts nat only)
- multiple icmp (ping) options
- multiple packet logging level options (syslog - kern.info)
- redhat specific installation and init script supporting both /sbin/service and sbin/chkconfig commands
- advances port forwarding to multiple internal hosts with multiple external destination addresses

KNOPPIX-NSM 1.2
knoppix-nsm is dedicated to providing a framework for individuals wanting to learn about Network Security Monitoring. more>>
KNOPPIX-NSM is dedicated to providing a framework for individuals wanting to learn about Network Security Monitoring.
We have tryed to do most of the hard work to help get the beginner/newbie up and running fast so they spend more time learning about NSM, leaving the details as a later exercise once familiar with the concepts.
KNOPPIX-NSM is based on the ever popular Knoppix, which means that you can test all the tools in a live session running on the cd without installing to harddrive. KNOPPIX-NSM has the added bonus of be able to install to harddisk so you can deploy a NSM framework into your production network and use it for realtime monitoring.
Some of the benefits include:
Rapid sensor deployment
You can boot you sensors from the live CD, store all data to a local HD partion and have them logging back to a central server.
Complete out of channel Intrusion Detection and Analysis center
With KNOPPIX-NSM you can deploy a complete NSM network to monitor your existing network infrastructure. KNOPPIX-NSM comes pre-configured for deployment of multiple sensors and databases, all you need to do is create the sensor accounts in the database and change some passwords.
Secure
KNOPPIX-NSM has been built with security in mind. All remote communications are over ssl tunnels so that you do not have to be concerned about eaves droppers if you decide to run KNOPPIX-NSM in your main network channels. Another feature is the use of iptables to ensure that only allowed hosts can connect and only necessary services are visible to the network.
Easy console deployment
Need another console, just boot from the cd (setting the host and ip at boot time) and you are up and running straight away.
The intent of KNOPPIX-NSM is to provide a distrubtion with accompanying documentation on the tools that we have selected and how they are put together in the NSM framework.
Main features:
- all remote management over ssl/ssh,
- all tools installed, patched and ready to run,
- automated scripts for easy installation/modification,
- support for bonded network interfaces,
- based on knoppix Live CD,
- debian based when installed to harddrive,
- ease of maintenance through apt-get,

GoboLinux 014 RC1
GoboLinux is pretty different from the other Linux distributions you may be used to. more>>
GoboLinux is a Linux distribution that breaks with the historical Unix directory hierarchy. Basically, this means that there are no directories such as /usr and /etc. The main idea of the alternative hierarchy is to store all files belonging to an application in its own separate subtree; therefore we have directories such as /Programs/GCC/2.95.3/lib.
To allow the system to find these files, they are logically grouped in directories such as /System/Links/Executables, which, you guessed it, contains symbolic links to all executable files inside the Programs hierarchy.
To maintain backwards compatibility with traditional Unix/Linux apps, there are symbolic links that mimic the Unix tree, such as "/usr/bin -> /System/Links/Executables", and "/sbin -> /System/Links/Executables" (this example shows that arbitrary differentiations between files of the same category were also removed).
It is geared towards people who prefer to install applications from the original source packages. That is the main reason why each application gets its own directory: so you can install it from source there and then remove it with an "rm -rf". So, you see, GoboLinux is oriented at the experienced user who doesnt like things to be automagical. Our scripts merely automate procedures, but they dont "make decisions", and whenever they have to, they ask first.
The binary package collection was created as a way to avoid duplication of effort between users. The source package project was created to store "compilation rules" of the original source packages of the applications. We do not wish to estabilish a "packaging standard" such as RPM. We think that there is no real need for "packages" if the original .tar.gz is properly made. For instance, when an application uses the GNU AutoTools (autoconf, automake...) you dont need any GoboLinux package to keep your system consistent.
However, given the more logical directory tree, GoboLinux could be made, with a comprehensive binary package collection and graphical front-ends to the scripts, into a newbie-friendly distribution, but that is not a specific goal we seek (at least not in short or mid term).
GoboLinux relies on a series of tools that automate various tasks, such as generation, installation and removal of packages, and most importantly, maintainance of the symbolic links that keep the system consistent. These tools (mostly are shell scripts, actually) are fairly stable, since the idea behind GoboLinux is not new (see question about the origins of GoboLinux).
Another important issue when using a distribution is the availability of packages, ie, software that you can download in binary form and install in it straight away. In this aspect, GoboLinux is very young and far behind the other estabilished distributions. We have, however, all packages needed to get a running system (all packages that are part of "Linux From Scratch" and "Beyond Linux From Scratch" projects, for example), plus many others, such as KDE and all related packages, Tcl/Tk, and the list just wont stop growing. Check out the latest list. In this sense, is important to popin out that we are working to bring other distributions facilities, such as the Gentoo Portage system, to GoboLinux.
Enhancements:
- The first release candidate for GoboLinux 014 is out! Among other things, it includes a massive update of packages, including glibc 2.5, X.Org 7.2, GCC 4.1.2 and KDE 3.5.6, with Linux kernel 2.6.20.4 + UTF-8 support. We have now a better printing support, with a few basic drivers included in the live CD. And there were many, many bug fixes in the GoboLinux tools since 013, so we hope to provide a better experience for you all.

SLAMPP Live CD 1.1
SLAMPP is a generic linux distribution which can boot and run directly off CD-ROM. more>>
SLAMPP is a generic linux distribution which can boot and run directly off CD-ROM and has possibility to be installed onto harddisk. SLAMPP Live CD is designed to be used as an instant home server.
Just like another linux live CD available at this moment, SLAMPP gives a linux newbie a chance to test linux without messing up the existing system of the user.
What makes it different is the fact that SLAMPP comes with preconfigured tools and applications that turn your personal computer to a home server. Can you imagine how handy it is to have and carry a linux live CD that provides all things you need to setup such kind of server?
SLAMPP is built using SLAX as its base and Slackware linux for packages. This means you are going to have two powerful distros in one, although SLAX is also based on Slackware linux. To compile all things into a working live CD, linux live scripts is used intensively.
Main features:
- Turning your personal computer to an instant home server which provides common servers, such as: HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP, SSH, DHCP, Squid, etc.
- Modularity. You can add additional tools and applications easily in form of modules. Each new module will be integrated seamlessly during booting process and is ready to use. Beside all modules provided in the live CD, you can also make or create you own modules. All tools to do this can be found in the live CD.
- Webmasters and web developers can use SLAMPP to show their work to others. To support this feature special scripts have been provided in the live CD. They only need to burn all files onto the CD and SLAMPP will take care of the rest.
- Using linux kernel 2.6 which provides better support for hardware.
- All settings and configuration made during use can be stored in harddisk and restored for next session.
- It can be installed onto harddisk if you want to employ the server permanently.
- Equipped with firewall, antivirus and content scanner.
- Using slapt-get, Autopackage and swaret for package management tools and Xfce as desktop environment.
Applications:
- Desktop: Xfce 4.2.2

OpenInteract2::Manual::I18N 1.99_06
OpenInteract2::Manual::I18N is an internationalization in OpenInteract2. more>>
OpenInteract2::Manual::I18N is an internationalization in OpenInteract2.
SYNOPSIS
This part of the manual will describe i18n efforts in OpenInteract2, how to create message bundles to distribute with your application, and how you can customize the process.
CAVEATS
Im a newbie at i18n/l10n efforts. The main purpose is to find the path I think most web applications will trod and make that as simple as possible to navigate. The hooks in the framework to enable localization should be sufficiently unobtrusive so as not to preclude other efforts you may have in this area.
So if you have ideas about how things can be done better or more flexibly, please join the openinteract-dev mailing list and chime in. (See "SEE ALSO" for more info on the mailing list.)
WRITING LOCALIZED APPLICATIONS
100% localization is hard
Localizing every aspect of your application is extremely difficult. There are the easy things like translating words on the screen, date/time formats and money. Then there are the tough things: what does this shade of yellow mean in China versus Saudi Arabia? What happens if someone reads this sequence of graphics from right-to-left instead of left-to-right? And on and on for many more items you couldnt have even thought up yet.
OpenInteract wont presume to take care of all these for you. Instead we try to make the most common operations as simple as possible. Hopefully that will be sufficient for your needs.

Midnight Commander 4.6.0
Midnight Commander is Unix file manager and shell. more>>
GNU Midnight Commander is a user-friendly yet powerful file manager and visual shell, useful to novice and guru alike. It provides a clear, user-friendly, and somewhat protected interface to a Unix system while making many frequent file operations more efficient and preserving the full power of the command prompt. After some practice, you will wonder how you could ever live without it.
Being a text mode application, GNU Midnight Commander can be used locally or remotely, on the console or under X Window System. By using full screen space of the terminals, it provides an intuitive user interface to the operating system, aiming to be a useful tool for users with any level of experience, from a newbie to a guru.
GNU Midnight Commander used to support a GNOME interface, which was historically the first file manager for the GNOME project. This interface is no longer part of GNU Midnight Commander.
GNU Midnight Commander runs on POSIX (Unix-like) operating systems, such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX and others. It can also be compiled under Cygwin on Windows.
GNU Midnight Commander uses GNU Autoconf which should automatically configure it for every Unix clone. Following configurations have been tested in the past (this list is very old):
- i386-*-linux1.x, 2.x
- alpha-linux-linux2
- sparc-linux-linux2.x
- sparc64-linux-linux2.1
- mips-sgi-irix5.x, 6.x
- mips-dec-ultrix4.3
- rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5
- sparc-sun-sunos4.1
- sparc-sun-solaris2.3, 2.4, 2.5
- sparc-sun-netbsd1.0
- hppa-hp-hpux9
- hppa-hp-hpux7
- m68k-apple-aux
- unixware
- mc88110-aviion-dgux5.4R2.01
- i386-*-sco3.2v4.2
- i386-*-sco3.2v5
Because GNU Midnight Commander is a full screen program it doesnt run on dummy terminals but anything more advanced will do (like vt100). If your terminal works with vi, emacs, elm or pine it will work with GNU Midnight Commander.

Tweakers HOWTOs Tamer 1.8
Tweakers HOWTOs Tamer is designed to be useful for people new to GNU/Linux by providing quick, easy access to the HOWTOs. more>>
Tweakers HOWTOs Tamer is designed to be useful for people new to GNU/Linux by providing quick, easy access to the HOWTO documents via menus. Access to specific points within documents is provided via filemarks. Tamer is built as a general purpose tool and can be modified to fit other plain-text tasks.
Search facilities include a powerful graphics-based extension for grep searches on files and directories as well as an internal search tool for searching files when loaded into a Tamer. Internet search access is provided via highlight-and-click access to web site searches via the users browser directly from within a document.
Additional features include a built-in editor with Line Loops editing and an interface to the GNU Projects Aspell spell check program. Complete help information and program feedback tools are provided within the Tamer and Tamer Tutor.
Daftnee Reader is a visual mode of the HOWTOs Tamer made for easy, comfortable reading on a computer screen. It has been designed with the Project Gutenberg files in mind but works well with other plain text files. Additional Daftnee Reader features include comprehensive sessions facilities, index listing of files by title in addition to file name, and Quick Directory lists and functions. All Tamer tools are readily available when in Daftnee Reader mode.
Qonqitzewautl is a built-in tool kit providing added functionality to plain text files without modifying the files. Small buttons called zewautl are overlaid on the files in the display window and provide access to other files, images and Internet URLs. When combined with grep search, goto zewautl provide an especially powerful tool for all GNU/Linux/Unix users, newbie to guru. Full Qonqitzewautl functionality is available in both Tamer and Daftnee Reader modes.
Tamer Tutor is a small, self-contained program external to the Tamer. It is designed to be a beginners guide to working with the Tamer and as an additional quick reference. It includes subjects for the primary features of the Tamer with multiple topics under each subject addressing configuration and use of the Tamer and tools.
An install-sh graphics-based installer is included with this version of the Tamer. It is a small program which guides the user through the simple install process.
