Free light weight software for linux

PerlPanel is an attempt to build a useable, lean panel program (like the Gnome Panel or the KDE Kicker) in Perl, using the Gtk2-Perl libraries.

PerlPanel is the ideal accompaniment to a light-weight Window Manager such as OpenBox, or a desktop-drawing program like iDesk. Click here to see all three working together.

Most of PerlPanels features are provided by applets - simple widgets that each do a different job. PerlPanel currently ships with 36 different applets.

Goodgoat is an easy to use desktop that can run from a bootable cd or it can be installed to the hard drive.

Goodgoat uses portage to handle updates for the installed version. I started goodgoat as an os for my low cost computer. I thought that the Linux I had created would be useful to other people.

I have hand picked the best of breed applications and left an easy to use desktop. I start with xfce4 which is light weight and easy to use. I added firefox, evolution for email, openoffice and many other applications.

Some highlights of the system is that it has all the regular desktop application, video and audio player, and auto configuration of the network and x windows setup.

For the system administrators I have added iscsi server and client tools. You can run /etc/init.d/iscsi-target start and you are sharing hd0. Goodgoat has qemu which is the poor mans vmware only it works better if you ask me (compressed filesystem).

To install goodgoat all you need to do is install the cd version (iso file) and use the installer in the prefs menu. Some parts of the installer take a few minutes but as long as the firefox circle is spinning you just have to wait until the installer finishes. While you wait you can open a new tab or a new window and browse the web or play one of the many games included in goodgoat.

Why should you use goodgoat? Its fast and everything you need is right at your finger tips. Goodgoat works well on older computers and doesnt need a lot of memory. Goodgoat works with desktops laptops, and wifi.

If you like gentoo all you have to do is install goodgoat and run su -; emerge sync from the xterm and you have a gentoo system. I add a few additional applications that are not included with gentoo and I installed newer applications than gentoo supports by default.

Goodgoat is about as easy to install as it gets. The installer is simple in function and easy to use.

X/OS Linux is derived from the Free/Open Source rpm packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) under the requirements set forth by their trademark policy.

X/OS has spent considerable effort to avoid using Red Hats trademarks in any way that would imply an association with or sponsorship by Red Hat.

After some delay, the final release of X/OS Linux 4.0 is now available to the public.

The X/OS Linux team has spent considerable effort to assure the label enterprise-grade Linux for this milestone release. With the simultaneous availability of X/OS Linux 4.0 for x86 and x86_64 processor architectures, it delivers the latest “best-of-breed” Free and Open Source software for both 32- and 64-bit platforms.

Highlights include the 2.6 Linux kernel featuring numerous enhancements over the previous 2.4 version, Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to apply more granular security policies, improved storage capabilities supporting file systems of up to 8TB and more.

The Global File System (GFS) and Cluster Suite software is included in this release to ease the task of creating and managing advanced cluster configurations, and is available as an extra option during installation. This powerful set of tools provides seamless scalability of applications such as databases, web servers and high-performance computing clusters — with GFS enabling nodes to simultaneously read and write to a single shared filesystem.

Next to providing an advanced server platform, X/OS Linux 4.0 adds various enhancements to the desktop — increasing usability with greatly improved office productivity tools, plug-and-play USB device recognition and power management supporting the ACPI standard.

In addition to compatibility with the de facto distribution for deploying Linux in the enterprise, X/OS Linux strides to include various other useful packages and tools that conform to the standard for mature and robust “enterprise-grade” software. One example is Xfce, an extra option in addition to Gnome and KDE, offering a light-weight desktop environment suited for use on low-end or thin client systems.

eximspamy is a spam filter framework that uses exims perl extension.

It is supposed to be solution which requires no maintenance and will use only very little cpu power. I am using this on a pentium 100 Mhz server with no problems.

eximspamy processes or rejects the mail in one go. That is: the mail does not run twice through exim as with most other mail filter systems.

Exim offers the possibility to execute perl subroutines from filter files.

To use this feature you must specify a file which contains perl subroutines in the exim.conf file:

perl_startup = do /etc/exim/exim.pl

and you need to have a version of exim which had perl support enabled at compile time
in the file:

add the line

EXIM_PERL=perl.o

in

Local/Makefile

of the exim source tree.

In the system filter (normally system_filter.exim) you can use those perl subroutines
to execute various tests on any line of the header (e.g $header_subject: $header_from:) or even the message body ($message_body)

eximspamy uses the following idea to catch the spam: you need to setup one user to which you re-direct all spam-traps.

That is old accounts which are no longer used and catch only spam or special seeds which you spread on webpages to catch only spam (use e.g white font on white background so that normal users do not see them).

All mail which is sent to the spamtrap is run through a filter which will take a checksum on the subject line. Those checksums are stored in a file (/usr/local/spamy/tmp/sums.txt)

Any mail coming into your system will then be checked against the known "spam" checksums in /usr/local/spamy/tmp/sums.txt.

In other words you compute again a checksum on the subject line and then you check if this checksum is already known. If it is known then you consider it spam.

Anti-Web project is a single-process, light-weight, non-threaded webserver that emphasizes simplicity, efficiency, and security.
AW 3 is the result of a rewrite of the webservers internals and represents much thought, effort, and careful design by the AW team.
With a few (perhaps signifigant) exceptions, AW 3 should be drop in compatible with AW 2. To use this drop in compatibility, refer to the "Simple Configuration" section. If you want to use some of AW 3s more advanced features, refer to the "Complex Configuration" section.
Your rights to use, distribute, and modify AW are protected by the GNU GPL license. Please see the file COPYING for more details.
Compilation
You should be able to compile AW simply by extracting it, changing into the extracted directory and typing
make
If all goes well, you should end up with an executable called "awhttpd".
If all does not go well, check the top of the file Makefile for compilation options. You will need to do this for a SunOS compilation, for instance.
Enhancements:
- Some extra CGI functionality was added.

Conky is a light-weight system monitor.
Conky is a system monitor for X originally based on the torsmo code. Since its original conception, Conky has changed a fair bit from its predecessor.
Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in its own window. Conky has many built-in objects, as well as the ability to execute programs and scripts, then display the output from stdout.
We are always looking for help, and anyone interested in becoming a developer is welcome. Please use the facilities at SourceForge to make bug reports, feature requests, and submit patches.
Installation:
For users compiling from source, make sure you have the X development libraries installed. This should be a package along the lines of "libx11-dev or xorg-x11-dev".
Gentoo users -- Conky is in Gentoos Portage... simply use "emerge app- admin/conky" for installation. There is also usually an up-to-date ebuild within Conkys package or in CVS.
Debian,etc. users -- Conky will be in Debians repositories soon (by mid-September, hopefully), and then Ubuntu shortly thereafter. Until then, "dpkg -i" the .deb package to install.
Example to compile and run Conky with all optional components (note that some configure options may differ for your system):
sh autogen.sh # Only required if building from CVS
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-xft --enable-seti --enable-dou-
ble-buffer --enable-own-window --enable-proc-uptime --enable-mpd
--enable-mldonkey --enable-x11 --enable-portmon
make
make install # Optional
src/conky
Conky probably doesnt compile with compilers other than gcc and icc. It doesnt compile with C89 compiler and not even with pure C99. It uses a few things that might not exist: strdup(), strcasecmp(), strn-casecmp(), optarg variable with getopt() and long long (not in C89). Crashes in file system statistics stuff when compiled with icc, I dont know exactly why.
You can disable drawing to own window feature in case you dont need it by passing --disable-own-window to configure -script.
Enhancements:
- FreeBSD cpu info patch
- Fixed issue where some WMs dont control conky own_window windows.
- Added newly-updated vim file detection and syntax hilighting files to svn.
- Fixed issue with graphs resetting colours (sf.net bug #1420473)
- Fixed battery problems when charged
- MPD code handles broken pipe now, instead of just killing conky
- Switch from CVS to SVN. Thanks SourceForge.
- Added patch to make $cpu stuff work on alpha (thanks Thomas Cort) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122637#c3
- Stop using override_redirect true -- conky back under WM control when using own_window yes.
- Fixed texeci breakage when forking to background is on
- Drastically simplified own_window=yes window creation code.
- on_bottom and wm_class_name deprecated (they do nothing)
- Fixed typo bug in portmon code that caused incorrect monitor data to be displayed.
