Free limited software for linux

Moonlander is a space simulation game.

You must land with lander on the Moon, but you have limited fuel.

Landing is very hard, because you must land very very slow. Prees "B" to increase fuel.

Upgrade-oldest selectively upgrades a Debian system by upgrading the packages with the oldest and most significant version numbers. It can be limited to certain sections, and the level of version differece necessary to trigger an upgrade can be controlled.

It is a simple Python script, but it is very powerful.

FlowerAttack is a screensaver for KDE 3.x. It sort of behaves like a limited particle system. It is quite configurable.

For example, you can change the number of emitters, images, colors, and so on. You can even create your own presets in order to quickly switch between experiments.

FlowerAttack is released under the GPL licence.

ghli is GPMIs Highlevel Language Interpreter, developed to operate under GPMI, though it works as a standalone script interpreter as well.

It features a byte code interpreter with complex instructions for high level languages, a framework to ease implementing precompilers, a Pascal precompiler, and an Assembly precompiler.

It aims to be small, fast, and flexible. The number of core instructions are very limited while it offers a simple interface so the host application can register its own extension commands easily.

Mandriva Linux is the operating system of choice for users keen on all things advanced.
Linux power users will welcome the advanced Web experience, enhanced hardware compatibility and expanded development options brought by Limited Edition 2005, along with significant performance gains. Firefox 1.0.2 offers the most advanced Web browsing experience, with multi-tabbed navigation, pop-up blocking, increased speed, and unmatched security.
Limited Edition also offers the RSS reader Akregator. RSS is a format used to simplify the aggregation and syndication of Web content. RSS feeds contain news and updates from websites and blogs, providing personalized access to information.
Limited Edition 2005 is built to optimize and increase performance. It has been developed with x86-64 technology in mind, which allows for the use of more powerful applications. Support for dual-core technology adds to potential performance, allowing the use of advanced new processors.
Developers and power users running demanding multimedia configurations will appreciate the additional power those features provide. Some special optimizations enhance the overall speed delivered by the system. For instance, KDE 3.3 is 10% faster, thanks to special tuning by Mandriva.
Addressing both the x86 and x86-64 architectures, Limited Edition 2005 is the only Linux system to allow the seamless installation and running of 32-bit applications on 64-bit platforms. This will allow users to benefit from all the power and performance of 64-bit technology while continuing to use vital 32-bit applications.
Developers will welcome the ability to develop 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same application on the same machine, without the need to use chroot. Finally, Limited Edition allows you to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard disk during installation, removing the need to use the DVD for subsequent software installation, and so saving even more time.
Limited Edition 2005 provides better support for removable devices such as digital cameras, CD-ROM drives and USB keys through immediate detection of devices as they are plugged in, and by allowing you to boot the installation from a USB key.
Also available is DKMS which allows kernel modules to be dynamically built for each kernel on your system in a simplified and organized fashion.
A special feature that will certainly appeal to gamers and enthusiasts is that the new release from Mandriva has support for the Xbox console, empowering users to bridge the divide between gaming and other computer activities.

Jinamp is primarily a music shuffler for command line junkies. Jinamp runs in the background and does not require X or even a terminal.
A control program allows limited control over the playing (pause, next song, etc., but no seeking).
The actual playing is done by other programs, so it can be adapted for other purposes, such as shuffling video clips for advertising.
Enhancements:
- The control tools have been improved, in particular making once-off song requests possible.

dcache is a database library implementing a persistent first-in-first-out cache.
The database (or `cache) size limits are configured at creation time, and as soon as they are reached the oldest records are automatically removed.
dcache library has a number of commandline tools for managing the database.
dcache is a disk based caching database in a single file containing a header and fixed sized hash and data space.
The header holds variables and constants describing the database.
The hash table holds pointers into the data area and hashes of the keys. The hash function used is a crc32.
The data area consists of the data, the key, a 64bit number with application defined use, and two 32bit numbers holding key and data lengths.
The header and hash table are mapped into process address space using the mmap(2) system call. The data area is not memory mapped, thus allowing to handle multi-gigabyte files even on systems with a 32bit address space.
Main features:
- The database size is limited to 63 bits on operating systems supporting large files.
- The database size is limited to 31 bits (2 gigabytes) on operating systems not supporting large files.
- The sum of the length of key, data and record overhead is limited to 31 bits (2 gigabytes).
- The record overhead in the data area is 16 bytes.
- The number of possible keys is limited by the address space of the process, or somewhat over 200 million, whatever comes first.
- Storage of numbers is done in big endian byte order (network byte order). Databases are portable between hosts with different byte orders.
- The size of the cache and the number of records in it are set at creation time.
- The cache is cleaned up automatically, removing old records if theres not enough space for data or records.
- Deletions are supported.
- Multiple readers and writers are supported, provided that the applications lock to database.
- Keys need not be unique.
The dcache library files are published under the GNU Lesser General Public License (dont hesitate to ask me if this is a problem for you). The tools are published under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a few compiler and linker warnings, among them those breaking the self check when using dietlibc.
- No functional changes were done.

lftpsearch is a set of Perl scripts that are searching for files and directories on FTP servers. There is the searcher, the indexer for getting the lists of all the files and directories at remote FTP servers, and the onliner for checking whether FTP servers are online.

It supports (or >) and in search queries, page splitting at search results, searching on online servers only, searching for files/directories only, searching for size limited files, caching, and Russian names.

lftpsearch program also shows some statistics on servers (files/directories amount, total size). Initially, it was created to be used over LANs.
