Free red hat software for linux

ical for Red Hat is an effort to provide the ical program in RPM format for users of current versions of Red Hat Linux.

BioBrew Linux is an open source Linux distribution that is enhanced for life scientists. It is customized for cluster and bioinformatics computing. It automates cluster installation, includes all the HPC software a cluster enthusiast needs, and contains popular bioinformatics applications.

BioBrew Linux is an open source Linux distribution based on the NPACI Rocks cluster software and enhanced for bioinformaticists and life scientists. While it looks, feels, and operates like ordinary Red Hat Linux, BioBrew Linux includes popular cluster software e.g. MPICH, LAM-MPI, PVM, Modules, PVFS, Myrinet GM, Sun Grid Engine, gcc, Ganglia, and Globus, *and* popular bioinformatics software e.g. the NCBI toolkit, BLAST, mpiBLAST, HMMER, ClustalW, GROMACS, PHYLIP, WISE, FASTA, and EMBOSS.

It runs on everything from notebook computers to large clusters. BioBrew Linux for the Itanium architecture is only available for purchase at this time through Callident. Please contact Brewmeister Glen Otero for information regarding BioBrew Linux on Itanium.

SkyViewer is an OpenGL-based program written by Nicholas Phillips to display HEALPix-based sky maps from FITS format files.
The program will display sky maps on a 3D sphere or a 2D Mollweide projection. Real time panning and zooming are supported, as are rotations of the 3D sphere (if you have a fast graphics card).
The program was developed and tested in a Red Hat Linux environment, but it should also build under Windows and Max OSX.
Main features:
- 3D sphere or 2D Mollweide display
- View Temperature, Polarization or Nobs fields
- Real time rotation, zooming, and panning
- Retrieve pixel information from the display
- Adjustable mapping from pixel value to color
- Save screen shots to image file
- Pixel texture aligns with HEALPix pixel boundaries
- Contextual help
- OS agnostic

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.

LinuxMagic magic-smtpd is a drop in replacement for Dan Bernsteins qmail-smtpd, and was originally designed to be part of the LinuxMagic Magic Mail Server.
This opensource version has been released to allow others to benifit from its anti-spam components, and valid user checking to reduce server loads, and spam volumes.
It is designed to support stock qmail installations, qmail/vpopmail installations, as well as having database support.
Designed for ISP service, this will work for all mail servers large and small. Comments are welcome. Support for other mailers expected in the future.
Enhancements:
- A compilation bug for Red Hat/Mandrake, an SMTP AUTH problem with ext_prog, and a problem loading directories with a newline have been fixed.

Kudzu is the Red Hat Linux hardware probing library and the associated configuration program. The probing library is used by various system utilities, such as anaconda, Xconfigurator, and hwbrowser.

Kudzu runs at system boot time to determine what hardware has been added or removed from the system.

KickstartWeb is a complete web interface for provisioning Linux machines using Kickstart and PXE booting. KickstartWeb has been tested with Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.
It provides control over your tftp files and a complete web GUI for creating and managing Kickstart files.
You can manage multiple Linux distributions, multiple Kickstart profiles, and have default and/or MAC-specific provisioning.
Enhancements:
- perl-URI
- perl-HTML-Tagset
- perl-HTML-Parser
- perl-Compress-Zlib
- perl-libwww-perl
- perl-XML-Parser

X-Bone project dynamically deploys and manages Internet overlays to reduce configuration effort and increase network component sharing.
The X-Bone discovers, configures, and monitors network resources to create overlays over existing IP networks. Overlays are useful for deploying overlapping virtual networks on shared infrastructure and for simplifying topology.
The X-Bone extends current overlay management by adding dynamic resource discovery, deployment, and monitoring, and allows network components (hosts, routers) to participate simultaneously in multiple overlays.
The X-Bones two-layer IP in IP tunneled overlays support existing applications and unmodified routing, multicast, and DNS services in unmodified host operating systems. This two-layer scheme uniquely supports node revisitation and recursive overlays, which is critical for fault tolerance and dynamic relocation.
The X-Bone uses multicast to simplify resource discovery, and provides secure deployment as well as secure overlays.
Enhancements:
- LDAP support, replication, a global registry, and multiple certificate authorities were added.
- The UI was cleaned and updated. Legacy support for Red Hat 9 and Apache 1.3 was dropped.
- Many bugfixes were made.
