Santa Fe Linux CTR3
Santa Fe Desktop Linux is an easy to use desktop operating system. more>>
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.
Main features:
- A viable alternative to your current operating system (OS).
- Imagine if your OS came preinstalled with a fully featured photo editing and image creation program.
- Imagine if every OS included an animation and 3D graphics creation program.
- What if your OS came standard with finance management and desktop publishing applications?.
- Now imagine if all those things were available for $39.95.
- Santa Fe Linux offers the open source solution to the seemingly impossible dream described above. Santa Fe comes with a program called the GIMP, a fully featured digital photo editing and image/graphics creation program. Blender, another standard program, is a 3D graphics, animation, rendering, and post production program. Managing finances is easy with GNU Cash, an open source program that gets your finances organized quickly. Desktop publishing is simple with Scribus, a program that allows you to create everything from newsletters to a fully produced magazine.
- Also, Santa Fe features a full office suite that is compatible with Microsoft? Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook.
- Additional programs that come with Santa Fe Linux:
- Gnome Meeting: Video teleconferencing application.
- Audacity: Records, renders, and applies digital effects to audio.
- Kino: Digital video editor.
- XMMS: Audio player that supports a wide variety of audio file formats.
- Anjuta: Developers program which allows users to create their own applications/programs.
- Also, at a price of 82.99, Santa Fe is now available with Codeweavers Crossover Office. This program allows users to install the Microsoft? Office Suite including Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, and Access.

Independence 6.0.0.8
Independence is not just one of these commercial distributions who have been appearing daily for the last months. more>>
Independence is not just one of these commercial distributions who have been appearing daily for the last months. It aims at being a distribution allowing the users to make hear their voice in distribution design.
It is built by volunteers who no longer accept having an aristocracy of distribution designers providing solutions who have little relation to the problems faced by us, Linux users. It is built by people who dont accept that present distributions time and again neglect two areas who are vital for Linux future: the desktop and the personal computer.
Software included in Independence:
This is the selection of software that we think to be useful. And even those packages that do originate from the RedHat distribution are often modified to serve the end-users needs better.
Here, you will find a short explanation of the packages we provide, that are either a special remake from RedHat packages, or that are not derived from RedHat packages at all - our very own packages.
ClanLib: Game library, I will include ClanBomber with it.
FileRunner: a filemanager reminding Amigas. It can also act as an FTP client.
Giram: Modeller who uses POV as raytracer. Linux is supposed to be fun.
GnoSamba: Makes easier to config Samba
GTk-Perl: used by Independences Gimp
Hermes: provides MMX acceleration to the ClanLib and SDL libraries.
LinPopUp: allows sending and getting WinPopUp messages. For instance a Samba printer server could notify the user when the job is finished, alternatively a Linux user printing through an NT or Samba server will be avle to know when his output has been printed.
MPEG: An MPEG encoder and decoder.
Mesa: 3D libray used by various programs in Indy
OpenPTC: needed for the game libraries.
SDL: Indys second game library.
Timidity++: Midi sound player.
VNC: With it you can display on Linux applications running on Windows or Macs. Or the opposite.
VNC-alien: This is the part of VNC who will run on Windows or Macs.
Visual-Tcl: IDE and GUI builder for TCL/TK. One of Indys goals is to get that Windows people develop on Linux.
Wav-plugin: A Wav plugin for netscape.
XFree86 (Indy): This is obsolete. Indy had a patched XFree supportng more cards than RedHat, now RedHat has cauight up howver Indys XFree had the hooks for running XFCE in addition to Gnoime and KDE. However I dont think I will be able to add XFCE so I will put the new XFree in the updates section (we will use 3.3.6 against RedHats 3.3.5)
Xconfigurator (Indy): The XF86Config built by RedHat assumes the user is smart enough to nevver shutdown the font server. I find that making a distribution so frail to user error is unacceptable, so Indys configurator geerates a config file whho aloows X to be more tolerant of user errors.
aalib: Needed by Indys gimp.
abisuite: Wysywyg word processor able to read MS word files.
acroread: Adobes PDF reader, better quality than xpdf and able to read files xpdf chokes upon.
anacron: Indy does not assume that every Linux user and specially personal isers will kepp their boxes powered up 24 hours a day. Anacron takes care of doing your cron jobs (jobs that are automatically done from time to time) in such a way that your computer can be put on and off whenever you like.
atalkconf: Graphical configurator for netatalk (Apple Talk server).
autofs: (Indy) Indy was the first distrib relieving the user of the chore of mounting CDROMs. This was unacceptable on workstations.
blender: A complete tool for graphical creation.
cbb: Check book balancer. I have seen much too often people complaining they had to keep Windows due to lack of a Quicken like program. We asumme that many Linux users use it at home and that means they need programs in this vein.
cdda2wav: Reading audio data from CDs and making WAv files of it.
cooledit: Nice X editor.
etcskel (Indy): This contains the files wgho will be placed in the home directory of a newly created user. Indy puts some tricks of its own in this files/
gaim: Taliking to people using AOLs instant messaging service.
gdm (Indy): This is specific due to stupid copyright reasons: it displays RedHat logo.
gfcc: Allows easy configuration of masquerading and similar tricks you can do with ipchains. Can be useful in corporations but also for people with two computers linked by a LAN at home
gimp 1.1.14: For the artist sleeping in each user. This version is supposed to be for developers but I found stable and leagues ahead of the old gimp 1.0 shipped in RedHat..
gimpdoc-pdf: This is version 2 of the manual. RedHat uses HTML for the Gimp manual, Indys uses PDF due to the far graeter quality of the output. In addition some chapters of the manual would not display on Netscape unless you had _at least_ 64 megs of memory.
gltt: This is a library who will no longer be needed after we drop mooonlight, but the demo is so nice I will keep it in the distrib hoping people will create programs with it.
gnomeicu: ICQ client.
gphoto: Downloading images from electronic cameras and making some common manipulatins like removing the red eyes effect.
grip: CD player and ripper.
gtk--: C++ interface for GTK+
gxtar: A Gnome front end to tar, gzip, bzip2 archives.
ibtk: For ATI TV cards.
initscripts (Indy): Indy provides for automatic activation of network daemons when a PPP link is brought up. Also Indy is smarter and more robust than RedHAt respective to an uninstalled gdm, kdm. These tricks and perhaps some more are provded through this packege.
install-sendmail: Easy configuration of sendmail. We want the user being able to ask for help if something goes wrong.
kdebase (Indy): Again there is alittle Indy trick making things easier for the user.
kdevelop: IDE for UNix. If I have tiime to build it we will ship Code Crusader instead
killustrator: I wanted a vector drawing program but I still doubt between this and sketch. Anyone willing to compare them?
klyx: Nearly wysywyg word processor.
knetmon: You really need it if you have windows boxes around you. People who have never been in this situation include Gniomba instead. :-)
kvoice: Voice utility for modems
kwintv: Watch TV
lesstif: Library replcng Motif. Intended for Ted but some of the Motif apps we have could be recompiled with it.
libwmf: needed for abisuite.
lilo (Indy): Indys LILO tells you how to get out of trouble.
lincity: Game.
lokkit: Instant protection against the scum of the Internet. Indy does not assume the user has an experienced sysadmin at hand or is sitting behind a firewall: we have heard of something called home users.
loser: Game. Far too fast when the box has been optimized by Cobra.
lpe: A reasonable editor with online help for people who have to fix a box before having time to learn VI. Indys installs it in a such way it is available in the most desperate situations.

SDXF 1.1
SDXV (Stanis DXF) Python library can generate complex CAD drawings. more>>
SDXF is a Python library to generate DXF files. DXF is an abbreviation of Data Exchange File, a vector graphics file format.
It is supported by virtually all CAD products (such as AutoCAD, Blender, 3Dstudio, Maya,Vectorworks...) and vector drawing programs (such as Illustrator, Flash, ...).
This Python library can generate complex CAD drawings (dxf format) with all kind of entities (such as 3DFace, Arc, Insert, Circle, Line, Mtext, Point, Polyline, Rectangle (can be filled), Solid & Text).
They can be structured with Layers, Blocks, Linetypes, Text styles and Views. See the manual for more info.
Main features:
SDXF supports the most of DXF drawing objects:
- 3DFace
- Arc
- Insert (block)
- Circle
- Line
- Mtext (as a series of texts)
- Point
- Polyline (as a series of lines)
- Rectangle (can be filled)
- Solid
- Text
SDXF supports the most of DXF tables:
- Blocks
- Layers
- Linetypes
- Text styles
- Views
Enhancements:
- Blocks can now be inserted with rotation, and a typo in the demo function has been fixed.

Raydium 0.680
Raydium is a small/useless/ugly 3D engine which uses OpenGL. more>>
Raydium is a game engine. It provides a set of functions wich allow quick and flexible games creation.
Functions covers things like player inputs (keyboard, mouse, joystick, joypad, force feedback), rendering (3D objets, OSD (On Screen Display)), time (a game must run at the exact same speed on every computer), sound, ... (theres a lot more things to manage, in fact
The project was started in 2001, trying to become a small 3D library, as a training to OpenGL.
But Raydium starts to manage more and more things (time engine, PHP scripting, physics engine, ...), and is now about to become a full "game engine".
Main features:
- Portability (ANSI C) : Linux / Win32 (and probably some others)
- OpenGL rendering (80 000 vertices per frame at a correct framerate), fog support, dynamic lighting, transparency, skyboxes, MultiTexturing, MipMapping, ...
- Totally simplified API : simple learning curve (example: raydium_object_draw_name("objet.tri"), raydium_sound_load_music("musique.ogg"), ...)
- ODE integration (Open Dynamics Engine) in Raydiums core, providing a simple access to a physics engine (see RayODE)
- Ingame console, allowing access to Raydium or application on the fly.
- PHP Support: PHP/Raydium interface, for a full interaction between PHP and applications. Its possible to write almost all the application with PHP (see RayPHP and RegAPI).
- Integrated network API, for multiplayer games in all simplicity.
- OpenAL support : sound, music (streaming OGG), 3D source positioning) in a few function calls.
- Simplified building scripts and static binaries support for an easy distribution.
- Import/export solutions to other 3D formats: 3DStudio, Blender and DirectX (see ImportExportTri).
- Joysticks and wheels fore feedback support (Linux only, for now).
- Data repositories : Raydium applications can download (or update) missing files. Data uploading is also supported (see R3S).
- Lightmaps support, radiosity lightmaps calculations, with FsRadRay (example : http://ftp.cqfd-corp.org/radiosity_tex.png)
Raydium is free software, available under GPL License.
Raydium is designed to be the engine used behind the MeMak project, but some tests were already created with this engine (see references at the bottom of this page), and a "complete" game: NewSkyDiver.
There are a lot of others 3D/game engines (and some are very complete, such as Ogre, Crystal Space, ...). Raydium does not try to be as complex as these engines, but contrary, is aiming quick and simple developpement. A good example of this simplicity is NewSkyDiver, a game in less than 750 lines of code.
Enhancements:
- This release features Augmented Reality, Live video capture from any video4linux source, video playback to texture, dynamic lightmap filters, Python bindings, remote data repositories listing, full API documentation, and more.

- Import/export solutions to other 3D formats: 3DStudio, Blender and DirectX (see ImportExportTri).
- Joysticks and wheels fore feedback support (Linux only, for now).
- Data repositories : Raydium applications can download (or update) missing files. Data uploading is also supported (see R3S).
- Lightmaps support, radiosity lightmaps calculations, with FsRadRay (example : http://ftp.cqfd-corp.org/radiosity_tex.png)
Raydium is free software, available under GPL License.
Raydium is designed to be the engine used behind the MeMak project, but some tests were already created with this engine (see references at the bottom of this page), and a "complete" game: NewSkyDiver.
There are a lot of others 3D/game engines (and some are very complete, such as Ogre, Crystal Space, ...). Raydium does not try to be as complex as these engines, but contrary, is aiming quick and simple developpement. A good example of this simplicity is NewSkyDiver, a game in less than 750 lines of code.
Enhancements:
- This release features Augmented Reality, Live video capture from any video4linux source, video playback to texture, dynamic lightmap filters, Python bindings, remote data repositories listing, full API documentation, and more.

bnrt 0.1
bnrt is 2 programs, a client and a server, that are used to help distribute rendering of Blender animations. more>>
bnrt is 2 programs, a client and a server, that help render frames of animations over a network using multiple computers that all have Blender, a popular opensource 3D modeler/renderer, on them.
bnrt can run on Linux, Windows, and any other environment supported by both Java and Blender. Currently it is only set up to run on Linux and Windows, since those are the OSs I have running and active at the moment. But it is pretty trivial for me to add more OSs as long as they are supported by both Java and Blender.
To use bnrt you need to run the server on each system that you want to render frames on. This is done by either running the server shellscript or batch file. Or you can even just type in java -jar bnrtServer.jar at the command line.
After you have started a server on each system, then you need to run the client, which does not do any rendering. You can run a server and a client on the same machine. To run the client you need to run the following command from a command line:
java -jar bnrtClient.jar {file to render.blend} {first frame} {last frame} {server1} {server2} {server3....}
Please note that at the moment this is still pretty alpha code. I use it on my own network with up to 5 machines, mixed Windows and Linux as well as various processors, and it works quite well for me. YMMV, but if you run into a problem I will be happy to try to help you out as much as possible.

SLAMPP Live CD 1.1
SLAMPP is a generic linux distribution which can boot and run directly off CD-ROM. more>>
SLAMPP is a generic linux distribution which can boot and run directly off CD-ROM and has possibility to be installed onto harddisk. SLAMPP Live CD is designed to be used as an instant home server.
Just like another linux live CD available at this moment, SLAMPP gives a linux newbie a chance to test linux without messing up the existing system of the user.
What makes it different is the fact that SLAMPP comes with preconfigured tools and applications that turn your personal computer to a home server. Can you imagine how handy it is to have and carry a linux live CD that provides all things you need to setup such kind of server?
SLAMPP is built using SLAX as its base and Slackware linux for packages. This means you are going to have two powerful distros in one, although SLAX is also based on Slackware linux. To compile all things into a working live CD, linux live scripts is used intensively.
Main features:
- Turning your personal computer to an instant home server which provides common servers, such as: HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP, SSH, DHCP, Squid, etc.
- Modularity. You can add additional tools and applications easily in form of modules. Each new module will be integrated seamlessly during booting process and is ready to use. Beside all modules provided in the live CD, you can also make or create you own modules. All tools to do this can be found in the live CD.
- Webmasters and web developers can use SLAMPP to show their work to others. To support this feature special scripts have been provided in the live CD. They only need to burn all files onto the CD and SLAMPP will take care of the rest.
- Using linux kernel 2.6 which provides better support for hardware.
- All settings and configuration made during use can be stored in harddisk and restored for next session.
- It can be installed onto harddisk if you want to employ the server permanently.
- Equipped with firewall, antivirus and content scanner.
- Using slapt-get, Autopackage and swaret for package management tools and Xfce as desktop environment.
Applications:
- Desktop: Xfce 4.2.2
- HTTP/HTTPS: Apache with various mods, SSL will be provided as built-in feature.

Mediainlinux 4 RC5
Mediainlinux is a multimedia-focused Linux distribution. more>>
Mediainlinux is a complete Linux distribution targeted at multimedia production, wich consist in a live cd (knoppix derived) containing more than 200 graphical application and thousands of command line tools for:
* Acquisition
* Conversion
* Editing
* Compression
* PostProduction in the Audio, 2D and 3D graphics and Video domain.
Mediainlinux distribution is a working prototype of a Debian Multimedia Distribution, based on the last version (3.4) of the Knoppix Linux Live Cd.
Our CD supports most of the graphic, audio and tv/satellite computer card on the consumer and prosumer market GNU/Linux compatible and has more than 200 graphical applications and hundreds (nearly 1000) of command line tools for covering all the complexity of the multimedia process of production: acquisition, conversion, compression and mastering.
Most of the Multimedia in the GNU/Linux world is covered, but there are some tools which we dont want to distribute together with Mediainlinux for legal reason and mainly because we are not sure about the integrity of the code, which could be stolen or covered by copyrights and so on.
You can install this applications after Mediainlinux is installed on the hard disk, because they will be present in the Synaptic interface (because we added the sources to the sources file).
Technical Goals:
1.Multimedia Kernel (modified to gain more reactivity from the system) and especially in the graphic (drivers for consumer and prosumer video cards) and audio (firmware for professional audio cards) subsystems, applying many patches like the low latency, preemption, real time e capabilities patches and reach a better recognizing of peripherals.
2.Boot splash: cover the Knoppix Live Cd initialization (which is oldish and bad looking, in our opinion) with an animation and some informations about the project.
3.Develop customized multimedia cd and application.
4.OpenMosix enabled kernel to make distributed rendering with Blender and Yafray.
Non technical goals:
1.Include applications which are not already part of the Debian distribution: speed in the free software world creates a situation in which hundreds of projects starts in a year and the ones which survive with an active development the first year and get developed for two or three years have a good chance to continue and be included in the major distributions. Sometimes it needs to anticipate this process and discover some applications which are not already shipped with a major distribution, before they become famous and encouraging their diffusion putting them in Mediainlinux. This has a double effect: makes the software better testing it and reporting bugs, suggestions and ideas and making better the whole Mediainlinux itself.
2.Support package maintainer to promote the diffusion of applications that havent already been debianized: programmers that transform the source code of a certain software in a Debian .deb, ready to be installed on a computer with a Debian GNU/Linux distribution (or a Debian compatible one like Mediainlinux) are often volunteers doing this work just as an hobby. For some other software there are already some sponsorships from some facilities and one of the goals of Mediainlinux is to find economic support for this programmers in the multimedia field of application.
3.Organizations: we had contacts with some organizations like ONU and UNESCO and with Italian (Turin, Padova, Bologna, Siena) and international (Bristol, Oslo, Zlin, Tampere, Georgia) universities and with some other organizations in the audio and video fields like FESTPACO or African Women Media Center. In all this places Mediainlinux has been introduced and in some also experimented, still limiting to single tests. With all this entities we would like to set up a collaboration that goes from simple testing and reporting of bugs, to requests for new characteristics and development of additional software.
4.Art Academies: many institutions like MULTIDAMS of Turin, the school of Art and Media of Tampere or the Brera Academy of Art in Milan has a double role: public places for experimentation (and so contamination between technology and art) and possible producers of demonstrations and examples of use, artist and collaborators.
User side goals:
1.Make Mediainlinux a better looking distribution: the look of Mediainlinux is a key aspect of the whole project. The more the distribution will be stylish (from the cd to the manual, from the Internet site to an exhibition stand) in the design and in its graphic and artistic ideas, the more it will gain success between the Linux Artists and the Macintosh community. Then we need to surpass the look of proprietary systems, using all the widgets that can simulate the most stylish looking applets and so we must need graphics to create icons, desktop themes, wallpapers, screen savers and audio video materials (like desktop sounds or video tutorials).
2.Make Mediainlinux simpler: we need to do more integration between different applications, in the way that for a .ogg vorbis file we will have a contextual menu to play, edit, record it etc. etc. This should be done for most of the file formats in the multimedia field and its an operation very intensive of configuring, programming, experimenting and daily use.
3.Make better configuration tools: most of all we need a good configuration of auto mounter to create automatically the icons of peripherals on the desktop.
4.Documentation: we need a manual for the primary applications (mostly done) and its translation in English, French, Spanish and German.
5.Training: we are organizing many courses on subsystems included in Mediainlinux and especially for audio and video streaming, 2D and 3D graphic, musical composition and less common training lessons in multimedia installations and physical and acoustic simulation.
6.Support: make concrete a way to support our users with a mailing list, a forum and a satellite program with tutorials, examples and demonstrations of creativity.

OSGEdit 0.6.1
OSGEdit is an editor of 3D scenes for scientific applications and games, using the OpenSceneGraph (OSG) library. more>>
OSGEdit is an editor of 3D scenes for scientific applications and games, using the OpenSceneGraph (OSG) library.
OSGEdit project allows easy scenegraph editing for anyone using OpenScenegraph in some 3D project.
OpenSceneGraph is a free (LGPL) library that implements professional 3D scenegraph management, usefull for games, scientific applications, real-time simulations, etc.
Take in mind that Its only a scene editor/composer, not a modeller. You can use many programs (like Blender) to model your objects and import them into OSGEdit to compose a complex OSG scene for your application with switches lods, etc.
Main features:
- Good design techniques (uses a lot of design patterns)
- wysiwyg: Its rendering all the time using OSG, so what you see on the screen is what you get when you open the scene with osgviewer or your own app.
- You can see a tree representing the graph where you can select nodes for all the operations. This tree is really a graph, the same node can hang in two different branches, and its a shared node, not a copy, changes on the node in one branch affect to the same node in the other branch.
- Each node type has a properties dialog integrated in the window (most of them are already supported).
- Of course, you can also manipulate transforms visually, there are tools to move, scale, and rotate transform nodes visually with the mouse.
- All the operations except for the new/open/save and zoom changes, can be undo and redo without limit.
- You can create new group (Group/Transform/Switch/LOD) nodes (It doesnt allow for creating of geodes, its not a modeller, only a scene composer).
- For these files that only contain one geode, you can also insert a Transform node as a parent of the selected node, even if its the root node.
- You can open all the formats supported by OSG and also save all the formats supported for writing by OSG.
- There is a tool for merging in files, you can add child nodes that are readed from file (this is very important if you are going to compose a complex scene from several models.
- Nodes can be copied, pasted into group nodes, and even cutted.
