Free os 3.0 software for linux

Oscailt is an independent media center content management system.

Oscailt is an independent media centre content management system developed by the Indymedia Ireland Tech Group, and written using PHP and MySql.

The word "Oscailt" is an Irish word meaning "open" and is pronounced kind of like us-kilt or us-cult or us-culch depending upon your accent.

Oscailt is a Content Management System designed to allow users to publish news and information on a web-site without knowing HTML or having a high degree of technical proficiency. It requires the following software environment:

Web server

The first thing that you need to run Oscailt is access to a webserver. This can either be a home-version on your PC or part of a commercial hosting package, or even your own dedicated server.

Oscailt definitely works with the Apache web server and it has been tested under MS Windows 2000, XP, FreeBSD, Mac OS and GNU/Linux with various versions of Apache 1.x and 2.x. There are no known compatibility issues with any webserver, but others have not been tested.

Apache Modules

Although Oscailt is designed to work on any webserver that runs PHP, our assumption is that it will mostly be deployed on Apache webservers. Therefore it is shipped with a .htaccess file which makes use of the apache mod_rewrite module as well as providing a relatively secure initial configuration. Oscailt uses this module to enable search-engine friendly URLs. If you do not have this module available on your server, Oscailt will work perfectly happily, although the URLs produced wont be as nice.

PHP

Oscailt requires PHP to be available on the webserver. PHP is a Free software programming language and is commonly available as part of commercial web hosting packages. See the php website

Oscailt requires PHP 4.x or PHP 5.x. It has been tested with several variations of PHP 4.3.x and PHP 5.0.x on diverse platforms and there are no known compatibility issues. There are possible issues with PHP 4.4.x There are a small number of incompatibilities with early version of PHP 4.0.x but they are highlighted in the code and should be easy to ammend.

PHP Modules

Several of the Oscailt modules rely on the GD image extension to PHP. The system is still usable without them but you will not be able to use the image tools such as the resizing of images to create thumbnail links, etc.

MySQL

MySQL is a free software database management system that is also commonly available with commercial hosting packages. Oscailt has no known compatibility issues with any version of MySQL on any platform. It has been tested with a number of versions of MySQL 4.x on MS Windows, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

Home Installs

For home installs and testing of Oscailt, you can download a PHP/MySQL/Apache bundle for any platform from several sites on the Internet (Google is your friend) and run Oscailt on your home machine. If you are running a distribution of GNU/Linux, its generally best to install the appropriate software using the software packaging system that comes with your distribution e.g. If you are using Red Hat, Mandriva or Suse Linux, its best to install the RPM packages. If you are running a Debian based distribution such as Ubuntu, its best best to install from .deb packages - preferably using apt or a similar tool to solve dependency issues.

GLosung is a watch words program.

This program shows the watch words (german: Losungen) for each day. The `Losungen are words out of the bible, one from the Old and one from the New Testament.

SLiM is a Desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11, derived from Login.app.
It aims to be light and simple, although completely configurable through themes and an option file; is suitable for machines on which remote login functionalities are not needed.
Main features:
- PNG and XFT support for aplha transparency and antialiased fonts
- External themes support
- Configurable runtime options: X server, login / shutdown / reboot commands
- Single (GDM-like) or double (XDM-like) input control
- Can load predefined user at startup

Diogenes is a tool for searching and browsing the databases of ancient texts, primarily in Latin and Greek, that are published by the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and the Packard Humanities Institute. Diogenes project is free software: you are encouraged to modify, improve, and redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public license.
The goal of this software package is to provide a free, transparent and flexible interface to the classical databases on CD-Rom in the PHI format, which include the TLG, the PHI corpus of Latin texts up to AD 200, the Duke Documentary Papyri collection, and the PHI-sponsored corpora of ancient inscriptions.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug whereby entering a path for the minor corpora would result in an illegal config file entry to be written.

Parano is a GNOME program to create, edit and verify hashfiles. For now SFV and MD5 formats are supported.

Clara is a help-documentation tool for C++ or java developers. Basically she paints a diagram - a clara diagram - from a class.

With clara you can visualize your class as if it were a chip with pins for input - representing the input parameters of the methods - and pins for output - representing the return type of the functions-.

Lets see for example the diagram that clara would draw for the following C++ sample class

class sampleInterface
{
public:

void init (MyStructure * pstruct);

void setPoint (float x, float y);

float getX ();
float getY ();

void processIt ();
};

What are these pins for ? Are we going to connect them somehow ? Not at all, it is just a convenient way to represent what the class offers in a very compact form.

Of course the diagram will be drawn by clara automatically, there is no need (and no chance) of manually drawing anything.

Clara gets the needed information in two ways : using reflection in java and parsing the header file in C++. Clara can also draw a call-diagram of the class if the sources are found, note though that for the call-diagram an extra tool is needed (dot.exe from http://www.graphviz.org) and it has to be installed apart.

X/OS Linux is derived from the Free/Open Source rpm packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) under the requirements set forth by their trademark policy.

X/OS has spent considerable effort to avoid using Red Hats trademarks in any way that would imply an association with or sponsorship by Red Hat.

After some delay, the final release of X/OS Linux 4.0 is now available to the public.

The X/OS Linux team has spent considerable effort to assure the label enterprise-grade Linux for this milestone release. With the simultaneous availability of X/OS Linux 4.0 for x86 and x86_64 processor architectures, it delivers the latest “best-of-breed” Free and Open Source software for both 32- and 64-bit platforms.

Highlights include the 2.6 Linux kernel featuring numerous enhancements over the previous 2.4 version, Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to apply more granular security policies, improved storage capabilities supporting file systems of up to 8TB and more.

The Global File System (GFS) and Cluster Suite software is included in this release to ease the task of creating and managing advanced cluster configurations, and is available as an extra option during installation. This powerful set of tools provides seamless scalability of applications such as databases, web servers and high-performance computing clusters — with GFS enabling nodes to simultaneously read and write to a single shared filesystem.

Next to providing an advanced server platform, X/OS Linux 4.0 adds various enhancements to the desktop — increasing usability with greatly improved office productivity tools, plug-and-play USB device recognition and power management supporting the ACPI standard.

In addition to compatibility with the de facto distribution for deploying Linux in the enterprise, X/OS Linux strides to include various other useful packages and tools that conform to the standard for mature and robust “enterprise-grade” software. One example is Xfce, an extra option in addition to Gnome and KDE, offering a light-weight desktop environment suited for use on low-end or thin client systems.

ControlTier application aims to be a complete enterprise-ready automation solution. It is our goal to provide the tools needed to automate the build, release, deployment, configuration, and control of distributed, multi-tier applications. When it comes to ease of use and out of the box functionality, we havent met all of our goals yet but we are working hard to do so. Any comments, questions, or criticisms are always welcome.
ControlTier coordinates and automates the chain of events that take place when you build and deploy a collection of integrated applications (what we call a "site").
Youll use ControlTier to:
- Coordinate your build processes (interfaces with build tools like Ant)
- Manage your build artifacts and other deployable resources in a structured repository
- Coordinate the distribution, configuration, and control of the various applications that makeup a site
Unlike most automation solutions that are focused exclusively on hardware and OS provisioning in production environments, ControlTier was built to focus on the application build and deployment processes that run all the way from Development, through QA, and into Production.
Main features:
- Framework for sequencing and coordinating automation
- Configuration management database
- Logical remote management (manage lots of things as one logical unit, no matter where they physically reside)
- GUI based development and operations tools
- Improved reuse and componentization of your existing scripts and configurations
- Change detection and configuration validation
- Application status discovery and detection
- Fine-grain access control
- Release migration tools
- Logging (with environment context built-in)
- Reporting and correlation tools
- Cross-platform support (Linux, Solaris, Windows, Mac OS X, etc.)
Enhancements:
- This is a major upgrade of both the ControlTier automation framework as well as the pre-built automation modules and workflows that come with the framework.
