GWCC allows users to execute network utilities (ping, nslookup, traceroute) and workstation commands (netstat, df, process grep) from a single tabbed window.
Welcome to GWCC.This program is designed to provide an easy to use interface to your Unix system. I dont know about you, but perform the same operations over-and-over day-after-day, and the command line provided via a terminal window ceases to be very useful once you want to start doing something with the information - like saving or printing it.
In addition to having to know all the flags for all the commands you want to use, you also have to scroll up-and-down the terminal window to retrace your steps and to cut-and-paste (what was that IP address again?).
So, i hope you will find my GTK/GNOME-based point-and-click application of some use in your daily computing activities. Please feel free to write to me with any suggestions you may have (see Contacting The Author below).

The aim of this experimental Linux distribution is to provide to RKC students andto the student population at large an operating system which is easy to install and use and which provides an alternative to the traditional commercial operating systems ;) Why Slackware as a base?
As they themselves put it, "The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities.
Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best of all worlds to the table. "CollegeLinux can benefit from the stability of slackware now made easy with our user friendly installer and interface.
The basic concept of CollegeLinux is to provide you with an alternative, user-friendly operating system and a way to learn more using linux. Whilst maintaining simplicity and a user friendly system, we want to introduce our users to more advanced features and why not, to maintain the "geek" side of linux by providing an excellent development environment.
Thanks to the great environment and suite of free software provided by KDE.Once you have installed CollegeLinux you can do the normal tasks you used to accomplish under your "old" OS namely:
- Using an office suite which containts an advanced text editor,spreadsheet, presentation tool, chart, scientific calculator and much more (thanks to OpenOffice, you can modify your windows documents or save your new documents in a windows compatible format like .doc, .xls etc);
- Organizing your work/study task with calendar, task manager and everything you might need to cope with your busy life;-Having available an email suite, browsers, html editor, graphic software,music and multimedia tools and much more.
-Development & Server environment: The new CollegeLinux 2.5. comes with a "robot" to auto install and configure on the fly PHP,Apache, Webmin and MySQL on the fly: your complete development environment. If you always wanted to learn some programming this is your chance. With our tools and the full manual at dotgeek you can start learning PHP with collegelinux and test your first scripts locally.
- Installing and upgrading any of the available packages via a slapt get based, easy to use interface. The expandibility of CollegeLinux is therefore limited only by your own imagination!
Enhancements:
- Full compatibility with Slackware 9.1 ;
- CollegeLinux server robot: install & configure automatically (almost no question asked) Apache, PHP, MySQL, SQLite, Webmin and Phpmyadmin (mysql front end) and SQLiteManager (sqlite frontend) your complete server & development environment;
- CL auto-update engine: slapt-get based(special thanks to Jason Woodward ) integrated with a Konqueror front end. You can now update on the fly every package or the entire distribution.
- Our own Installer substantiall upgraded, more hardware supported.
- Direct connect file sharing, latest kde, openoffice and much more.

The MZL & Novatech TrafficStatistic Linux Server collects IP usage statistics from the network interfaces of the system on which it is installed. It will store the IP data records, and the Traffic Statistic Report Service will create HTML reports from these records.

The MZL & Novatech TrafficStatistic Linux Server program can be installed on a Linux machine to collect IP usage statistics from their interfaces. The Traffic Statistics Linux Server will store the IP data records on the Linux machine and the Traffic Statistic Report Service will form the HTML reports Traffic Statistics Linux Server starting from the records. For configuration it is needed to have the Windows GUI installed on another machine, that connects via HTTP to the Linux machine.

The intended usecase is the bandwidth usage monitoring of a Linux gateway to the internet or a VPN peer in an environment of Windows workstations. When installed once properly on the Linux gateway, the Traffic Statistics Linux Server can be configured with the Windows GUI from any client in the network and the statistics can also be viewed using the Windows GUI.

As Linux is a powerful and secure networking OS with features like traffic shaping and rule based packet mangling, there are many reasons to run a Linux gateway even when using otherwise Windows clients for other typical office or industrial applications. The Traffic Statistics server allows administrators or managers to get detailed IP network usage statistics on IP packet level broken down by day, host and service at their Windows workstations. The program is free of charge, free of adware and free of any time or functional limitation. Without having any plugin or upgrade installed it will help users to make wise decisions in the selecting of an appropriate volume tariff model, it allows to monitor volume consumption comfortably in tray in almost realtime so that users are always aware, how far they are from a volume tariffs limit and it shows, which hosts and servers consumed the most traffic in the current period.

We also provide powerful plugins for the Linux server, which make MZL & Novatech TrafficStatistic even more interesting and efficient for monitoring volume consumption on a company level.

OpenKiosk is an open-source multi-platform kiosk system designed for use in libraries, offices, schools, internet cafes, airports, conference rooms, and more!

Openkiosk aims to be one of the best kiosk software available in the open-souce community. The following prototype screenshots of the OpenKiosk client reflects its evolution towards the goal of acheiving simplicity and elegance in kiosk terminals.

OpenKiosk, is a system made up of a collection of programs that work together in a local network of inter-connected computers. It is a centralized management software for kiosks. It assumes that the resources are shared and centralized as well, including the Internet connection. This implies that the shared Internet connection to the outside world is assumed to be always on at some point within the local network, perhaps a NAT server. It is up to the client program to automatically limit customers individually from accessing the Internet.

When a customer walks in and uses a kiosk or a workstation, the client program obtains his/her login/user account information. It then sends this login information to the server, which in turn, verifies this data and if valid, returns the access rights and duration of use for the customer back to the client program.

The client program at this point, handles the restrictions transparently including preventing running new programs and making it appear that the Internet connection is down if the time limit is reached or if the administrator manually stopped a customer from continuing to use a kiosk/workstation.

OpenKiosk is primarily designed with the multi-user network in mind. From a library containing 20 public browsing terminals to a large internet cafe or convention center containing hundreds to thousands of kiosks or workstations, OpenKiosk is built with components that are designed to scale up. It is not meant to be used on a single stand-alone computer

The Openkiosk system is basically composed of two parts. The first program is called NodeView. It acts as the OpenKiosk central server containing the client information database. It is responsible for administering all the clients on the network either automatically or manually. Monitoring and controlling the workstations can be done locally via the graphical user interfaces or remotely from a Java Applet in a browser.

The second part is simply called "The Client". It is the actual program that sits between the customer and the operating system interface on the workstations. It is the software which physically limits the users access to the Internet, network resources, the local programs on the workstation itself.

For automatic usage, it can take in membership card login. It is also possible to interface to much more advanced hardware readers such as smart card readers. The client is also capable of simple but important tasks such as remote shutdown, instant messaging, file updates and much more.

Presently, there are two versions of clients. The X11 Linux/Unix version, which is an applet that sits on top of the KDE panel (requires at least KDE 3.X) and the Windows version (Windows 95,98,NT,2000,XP).
