Free pcs software for linux

GLCARS project is Gregors LCARS theme for KDE. LCARS is the computer system from Star Trek.

Believe it or not, I didnt create this solely because Im such a trekkie. My main reason is that LCARS (though not real) is a sensible theme for tablet PCs.

Ive also created a fairly gawdy widget set. Its included in the download, but is not in the default theme. You can install it afterwards. Its bright, colorful, and has pill-shaped buttons, like LCARS.

If youd like your panel to look like mine in the screenshot:

1) Move you main panel to the left of the screen.
2) Set its width to 100*(w/1600), where w is the width of your screen.
3) Make it transparent.
4) Add buttons to it as you please (the images I used are included)
5) Create a KasBar, put it at the top of the screen. Make it large for 1024x768, perhaps larger for higher resolutions.
Note: You may have to mess around with kasbar to make it work properly. I cant help much, sorry.
6) Add another panel, also aligned to the top.
7) Adjust your new panels height to taste. I have mine set to 54, for a 1024x768 screen.

Campcaster is a free and open source automation system for radio stations.
Campcaster is the first free and open radio management software that provides live studio broadcast capabilities as well as remote automation in one integrated system.
Radio is still the most powerful method of disseminating news and educational material to disadvantaged groups and in areas with high poverty, scant technological infrastructure, and/or instability. But while radio is extremely effective, the tools available to most community stations are very limited in function. The Campcaster project addresses this by giving stations a free and open source, end-to-end solution for managing a radio station by using standard personal computers.
Campcaster is the first free and open source radio management software to provide both live studio broadcast capabilities as well as remote automation in one integrated system.
Campcaster has been designed to be modular and scalable. It can be used by both large and small stations in a number of scenarios:
- Unmanned broadcast units can be controlled remotely through the Internet
- An unlimited number of Campcaster-powered PCs in a radio station can deliver live broadcasts as well as program automation by accessing a central audio storage system
- A stations library can be digitized and made centrally accessible from both local studios as well as the web
- Reporters and show producers can file their reports and shows directly to the central archive fron the field via any web browser
Campcaster is capable of combining local audio files and remote web streams, supporting the widely used MP3 format and its open equivalent Ogg Vorbis.
As with all Campware products, multilinguality is a central feature in Campcaster: virtually everything in the user interface can be translated into any language using Unicode. Multilinguality is implemented on all levels of the user interface as well as for the metadata for audio files in the storage system. Campcaster is currently available in 9 languages, and it is very easy to localize into additional languages.
Campcaster has been designed for a Linux environment, but it was built it on top of standard, cross-platform classes. Such an architecture allows for easy porting of Campcaster to different operating systems in the future.

Yoper is a high performance operating system which has been carefully optimized for PCs with either i686 or higher processor types.
The binaries that come with Yoper have been built from scratch using the original sources combined with the some of the best features from other Open Source Linux distributions (distros).
However, Yoper is not like general purpose distros such as Redhat or Mandrake. It is a high performance Desktop OS. It is compact.
Yoper Linux resides on 1 cd-rom. In fact, Yoper is also one of the most standards-based environments in the Linux community! You will find hardware performance as good or better than that of any commercial OS.
Enhancements:
- The Yoper team is proud to announce the long-awaited stable release of Yoper Linux 3.0, codename Titanium. This release ships with kernel 2.6.21.1, including the Con Kolivas patch set and SD scheduler, X.Org 7.2, KDE 3.5.7, KOffice 1.6.3, Firefox 2.0.0.4 and a vast range of other cutting-edge desktop packages. This release will be followed by a bug-fix release in about 4 weeks time. It will only contain simple application updates and bug fixes.

Pyro stands for Python Robotics. The goal of the project is to provide a programming environment for easily exploring advanced topics in artificial intelligence and robotics without having to worry about the low-level details of the underlying hardware. That is not to say that Pyro is just a toy. In fact, Pyro is used for real robotics research as well as courseware.

Robots: Currently, the robots supported include the Pioneer family (Pioneer, Pioneer2, PeopleBot robots), the Khepera family (Khepera, Khepera 2 and Hemisson robots), the AIBO, the IntelliBrain-Bot, and the Roomba.

Simulators: Pyro is integrated with several existing robot simulators including Robocup Soccer, Player/Stage, Gazebo and the Khepera simulator.

Pyro Live CD is based on newest Knoppix 5.1.1 and can be placed in any PC that can boot off of a CD., and you can be running Pyro and other robotics software immediately. No need to install anything! This works even on Windows PCs, laptops, and desktops. Great for students, labs, and presentations.

Packet Construction Set is a set of Python modules and objects that make building network protocol code easier for the protocol developer.
The core of the system is the pcs module itself which provides the necessary functionality to create classes that implement packets.
Installation Instructions for Packet Construction Set (PCS)
PCS follows the normal Python conventions for building and installing and there is very little, if any, magic. To install the library and the associated packet classes into your system do:
> python setup.py install < return >
To test your installation do:
> cd tests/ < return >
> python *.py
Some tests fail if you do not have enough privileges to work with the Berkeley Packet Filter. If you wish to run those tests run them using sudo.
To build the documentation you will need pdflatex and a BSD version of make installed. Go into the docs directory and build the documentation:
> cd docs/ < return >
> bsdmake all
you will see PDF versions of the docs.
Enhancements:
- Move my version of Doug Songs Python pcap library into the package.
- Update the Makefile to make sure that we install correctly no matter what target is selected.

Dartmouth OpenCA-LiveCD project is an KNOPPIX remaster.

Dartmouth OpenCA-LiveCD is a bootable CD with an installation script to help people have an OpenCA Certificate Authority ready for testing in just a few minutes.

This CD works on most Intel architecture PCs regardless of what operating system is installed on its hard disk and even without any hard disk installed. It will not modify any contents of your hard disk unless you specifically ask it to do so.

On boot, you will be asked to provide your Organization, Location (state), and the email address of the OpenCA administrator. Default values will be used if no answers are provided.

S-Jinn is a free open-source Linux application written in C. It is designed to be used with external TIA/EIA-232 (RS-232) test, measurement, and control devices and allows for rapid prototyping, automation, and deployment. I believe you will find it easier-to-use, more intuitive, and more concise than stty or C-Kermit with regards to command-line and/or scripted RS-232 data acquisition and control.
Popular Linux communications packages like Minicom are easy-to-use, but are primarily designed to work with modems, PCs, and other standard equipment. They typically lack support for all of the possible combinations of UART communication settings required by RS-232 test, measurement, and control devices on the market.
Many popular communications packages lack command-line support. Some provide scripting languages, but S-Jinn frees you from these application-specific languages. S-Jinn allows you to manipulate your data from your favorite Unix shell and/or scripting language whether it be Bash, Python, Perl, Expect, or you name it.
Main features:
- Control RS-232 DTR and RTS lines from the command-line and optionally display DTR, RTS, CTS & DSR status
- Send control characters (i.e. the NULL character)
- Send values in hex
- Specify read length
- Display the read buffer in ASCII, hex or ASCII-over-hex.
- Program & display coded/programmable delay times
- Supports virutally all baud rates, parity, and data lengths found in standard PC UARTS
- Output Formats: Wrap text, truncate lines, add, display, or supress trailing new lines
It is not designed to be used for serial communications with modems or for use as a terminal emulator. There are a large number of free open-source applications available that are much better suited to those functions. S-Jinn is written to work with RS-232 based data acquisition equipment such as: Multimeters, A/D modules , D/A modules, digital inidicators, gauge multiplexers, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc.
Enhancements:
- The code was cleaned up to fix compilation issues with some new versions of GCC.

MikeOS is an operating system for x86 PCs, written entirely in assembler. Its not intended to to become a fully-fledged general purpose OS -- instead, its designed for learning basic OS design and x86 assembly language. Consequently, it runs in 16-bit mode (for BIOS access) and has very low system requirements.
Current features include: FAT12 floppy disk reading; menu-based program selector; command-line interface; 26 system calls (eg screen and string handling); rudimentary DOS compatibility; an API for developers; example programs and more. To run MikeOS, download the compressed archive from the links below -- this includes the full source code and disk images.
Enhancements:
- Many new DOS compatibility functions from Peter Nemeth.
- Initial printer and serial modem support.
- Store and reload registers when launching DOS programs.
- VisiCalc now loads.
