Sudoku Savant is a simple GUI-driven application to solve and generate Sudoku puzzles through logical means.

Sudoku Savant generates and solves standard Sudoku puzzles with anything from 3x3 to 5x6 or 6x5 grids, using the following strategies:

- Singletons
- Locked candidates
- Number subsets
- X-Wings, Swordfish and Jellyfish
- Both Simple and Multi-Colouring.

These strategies should be enough to provide a step by step solution for any Sudoku puzzle that you are likely to find in a newspaper or magazine, although Savant can also resort to "trial and error" if presented with something really pathologically nasty. (This will at least confirm that the puzzles solution is unique.)

You may also parameterise or turn off the more advanced strategies, to see whether they were really needed.

Finally, Sudoku Savant lets you solve the puzzle by hand, providing hints, cell colouring, up to 4 pencil marks per cell, and the ability to high-light any incorrect moves. A partially completed puzzle can be saved in a simple text format so that you can continue solving it later.

Santa Fe Desktop Linux is an easy to use desktop operating system. It puts some of the worlds best open source applications within the reach of non-technical users. It even runs right off the CD so you can try it without installing.
Santa Fe Desktop Linux was built following these design goals:
Make it familiar. Present the user a familiar interface where they dont have to guess which buttons do what.
Keep it small. The distribution should install and run from a single CD.
Make it useful to normal users. The distribution should be useful to a large non-technical audience.
Keep it fun. Make sure audio and video work to the best of their abilities so the users can play games and enjoy multimedia without hassle.
Leave the user alone. Hardware should always be automatically detected and configured without the users help. Software configuration should automatically have sane defaults.
Unlike other operating systems, Santa Fe is designed to automatically configure itself everytime it runs. It will auto-detect the right drivers for your hardware and configure it all to the best of its abilities. No more troublesome driver installs. Santa Fe works best in Plug and Play and DHCP environments.
