Free 6.0 software for linux

Beehive Linux is a distribution made by system administrators, for system administrors.
Its intent is to provide fast and clean setup of workhorse servers and workstations.
Not for the inexperienced, Beehive includes native Reiserfs support.
Enhancements:
- Mostly a lot of updates, check the 0.6.0/allfiles.lst for specifics. Seems noticeably faster than 0.5.0 for some reason.
- Gnome was removed because, well, nobody wanted to hassle with it. Its a major PITA to build, and It doesnt really add anything that KDE doesnt, so....

Pingus is a free Lemmings clone for GNU/Linux and Windows covered under the GNU GPL. Pingus uses ClanLib and libxml and might also be usable on some other OSs like FreeBSD, but hasnt been tested there.

Pingus is mainly developed under GNU/Linux, thats why the Windows port is sometimes a bit behind.

Pingus has started at the end of 1998 with the simple goal to create a Free (as in freedom, not as in free beer) Lemmingstm clone. The Free means you get the sources and are allowed and encouraged to change and distribute them.

You basically get everything that I used to create this game. In the years it has grown than quite a bit over the original goal and become something more than just a clone, we have original artwork, a built-in level editor, new actions, multiplayer and a few other features.

If you dont know Lemmingstm, here comes a short introduction. Its a puzzle game developed in 1991 by DMA Design. The player takes command in the game of a bunch of small animals and has to guide them around in levels. Since the animals walk on their own, the player can only influence them by giving them commands, like build a bridge, dig a hole or redirect all animals in the other direction.

The goal of each level is to reach the exit, for fix multiple combination of commands are necessary. The game is presented in a 2D site view. For more information you might want to visit Lemmingstm fanpage

While Pingus is based on the idea of Lemmingstm, it has included some other ideas, which werent presented in the original Lemmingstm, like the worldmap or secret levels, which might be familiar from games the Super Mario World and other Nintendo games. We have also a few new actions, like the jumper which werent presented in the original game.

Cyfer is a portable low-level cryptographic library with support for several programming languages. Cyfer provides implementations of many message digest (hash), block and stream cipher, and public-key algorithms.
The library is extremely modular, providing easy way to add or modify algorithm implementations, or even separating the particular algorithm from the library physically (suitable for embedded environments).
The generic API provides a consistent way to use the library algorithms, and allows for algorithm selection at either the compile time or at runtime, so the application which uses Cyfer can be completely unaware of the algorithm specifics.
Cyfer is a low-level library. It deals only with various algorithms, and completely avoids the problems of data representation.
This is most evident in public-key sections; cyfer completely avoids the existing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) standards. If you need this functionality, use the excellent and free OpenSSL, or some similar library.
The library design concept emphasises on simplicity and elegance (of both the algorithm implementations (if possible:) and the support library code), not maximizing performance or minimizing memory footprint.
The algorithm implementations are straightforward, so they can be used for educational purposes.
Cyfer is portable to any platform with sane C development environment, the only requirement being the availability of the GMP (GNU Multiple Precision arithmetic) library.
As the GMP is used only for public-key cryptography, hash or symmetric cipher components should work everywhere.
Enhancements:
- moved wrappers to separate packages
- unbundled win32 support gmp library
- polished the documentation
- polished the build process and package creation

mechanoid is a programmatic browser intended as a general solution for scripting HTML form sequences, such as logging into SourceForge and doing a Quick Release or sending and receiving Yahoo! mail. mechanoid project is a fork of John J. Lees mechanize.
Enhancements:
- Mechanoid is being developed as the back-end for unusual browsers such as voice-text browsers for the handicapped and meta-page browsers for Web programmers.
- Because it is intended for use as a browser and not a Web bot, the handling of robots.txt files has been removed.
- You should no longer use it as a bot.

MMR is a that program reads UNIX mail in a terminal window, like the popular PINE mail reader.
Main features:
- Handles thousands of messages efficiently!
- Messages are by default sorted and threaded by subject.
- Automatic detection and merging of a modified mail file
- Automatically uncompresses and recompresses gzipped mailfiles
- Rules for automatically determining the message save file.
- Sort messages by author or subject, or neither.
- Searchable message listings, including search through message text
- Automatic ignoring of certain MIME types.
Enhancements:
- This version adds transparent caching to efficiently handle mailboxes with thousands of messages.
- There are many more improvements.

It was born out of the desire for an easy to configure, well documented, robust IPtables firewall. It has been made with the individual user or small business in mind. With that said, Ive had plenty of e-mails from administrators that are using HLS in a large corporate environment. It was just not initially designed for such.

There is some limited error checking built into HLS. This will not prevent horrible choices when selecting which setting to enable or disable. Since the script can be used for gateway systems and internal LAN systems, many options are listed. Not every option is wise to enable for gateway system. In general, the default settings is the best way to go for the majority of gateway systems.

I dont feel the need to write a large volume of documentation as the HLS script and related files are well documented internally. Then again I am probably too close to the project to make that judgment.

For version 1.6.0 of HLS, I am going to add documentation to this page as the need for it arises. If you find something to be unclear in this documentation or inside one of the files, drop me a short e-mail stating what is unclear and why it is unclear (if possible). Ill make every effort to update the documentation to correct this.

Ruby/Google offers a higher-level abstraction of Googles SOAP-driven Web API. Ruby/Google module allows the user to programatically query the Google search engine from Ruby.

The aim of the library is to shield the programmer from the details of the raw data structures returned by the Web API, and in the process make the API more accessible for everyday use.
