Free pearpc 0.4.1 software for linux

PearPC is an architecture-independent PowerPC platform emulator capable of running most PowerPC operating systems.

This release fixes an ugly partition mapping bug which prevented PearPC to boot OpenDarwin. But the fix might cause regressions: so if your image is no longer booting and you can compile pearpc yourself, please talk to the pearpc-devel mailing list.

Installation:

-Get the Mandrake Installations CDs from a near mirror.
-Read the getting started document first.
-Join the club.
-Make sure you have configured with a big harddisk (3 GiB should do) and a CDROM with the Mandrake 9.1 PPC CD1 inserted. Select a 15 bit video mode. (ppc_start_resolution to 1, 4 or 7)
-Boot and you should get the yaboot menu.
-Press enter and wait.
-At some point, a graphical installer will show up.
-I wont partition your disk for you so you have to do it on your own
create 2 partitions: Apple bootstrap and a Linux onecontinue install.
It will ask you to insert another CD. Click "Change CD" and choose a different .iso or simply insert a different CD. Continue.
-Something bad may happen in the end of the install. Nevermind.

While the CPU emulation may be slow (1/500th or 1/15th, see above), the speed of emulated hardware is hardly impacted by the emulation; the emulated hard-drive and CDROM e.g. are very fast, especially with OS that support bus-mastering (Linux, Darwin, Mac OS X do).

Because the author has only access to a little-endian machine, PearPC will most likely only run on little-endian architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix and the author would fix this himself if he such hardware. (You can donate some big-endian hardware to get this fixed!)

Equally, PearPC will probably only run on 32-bit architectures. This shouldnt be hard to fix either. (You can donate...)
A lot of unimplementated features are fatal (i.e. will abort PearPC).
Timings are very still a little bit inaccurate. Dont rely on benchmarks made in the client.

PearPC lacks a save/restore machine-state feature.
No Altivec support yet but being worked on.
No LBA48 (but LBA). Currently no support for hard disks greater than 128 GiB. Disks > 4GiB are not tested very well.

gfa is a small and fast address book written in C and GTK+2. It uses sqlite as backend for the addresses.

Usage:

I think its not necessary to write here how to use gfa. Its self-explainig. If you want to create a new contact press New, fill out the fields and press Save. If you change anything in the fields or the image, you must press Save to save the changes, otherwise the changes will be lost, but I think thats clear.

Delete will delete the contact from your list. There will be a question if you really want to delete for accidently clicking. If you dont like the selected image anymore, than you can change it to the default icon by clicking Use default icon in the file dialog. And Quit quits gfa. Thats all.

pam_usb is a PAM modules that enables either two-factor or password-less authentication using an USB storage device (such as an USB Flash Memory Token).
It can work with any PAM enabled program, such as login, su, gdm/kdm/xdm, xlock...
This is done with a pair of DSA keys, the private one is stored on the device and the public one on the computer.
Whenever a user tries to authenticate, pam_usb will try to find the usb device and will load the private key.
Then it will compute a private/public key signing challenge using the public key contained in the users home directory.
Then, if configured in two-factor mode (additional mode, in the documentation), a password is asked to the user in order to finish the authentication. Otherwise, if configured in password-less mode (alternative / unique in the documentation) it will log in the user without asking any password.
It can also work using any kind of mountable devices such as floppy disks or cd-roms. To improve security, it supports private key encryption and serial number access list.
Sorry for the poor informations provided here but the website is being redesigned.
Enhancements:
- A security issue related to OpenSSH authentication has been fixed.
- The quiet option has been fixed (now it is really quiet).
- Support has been added for devices without vendor/model information.

Keso is an editor for scores and orchestras. Or, more precisely, a tracker-like GUI for the powerful softsynth Csound.

It lets the user write music in patterns, and arrange those patterns in sequences. Keso will produce orchestra and score files that can be played or rendered by Csound.

The user interface consists of different editors. Each editor is a plugin that can be removed or replaced, and new editors can be added while the program is running.

smrt is a powerful python-based command line tool designed to ease the process of constantly renaming and tagging OGG and MP3 files.

The main feature of smrt is the ability to identify tracks by making educated guesses, based on filename and tag data, against a gigantic database of all known CDs derived from the FreeDB project. This database may reside locally, or on a remote network server. smrt is also capable of tagging a file by its name, or naming a file by its tag.

All operations are extremely configurable; output names are configurable via a simple to use template string. Powerful regular expression options are available which can be used to mangle filenames, unmangle filenames, and indicate to smrt how to devine metadata from a given filename (thereby providing hints when guessing, as well).

A simple configuration file allows you to set very complex and useful defaults for your collections naming format.

smrt was created with the goal of making sure you spend as little time as possible maintaining your file names and tags, while being configurable enough to allow you to tailor its behavoir to operate perfectly with the impeccable structure of your existing collection.

This is a small application (using GTK+) which lets you select your window manager. It looks for a file named .selectwmrc in the users directory which contains a list of window managers.

When you start X it should show a list which lets you choose your window manager (by double clicking on it with the mouse or with the arrow keys and the return or space key).
