Free puppy 2.15 software for linux

This is a play-thing, requested by a few people on the forum, and definitely not for the average user. In other words, Linux commandline nerds only! OneBone does not have any X GUI applications.

It does have Elinks web browser, Ytree file manager and MP text editor. The Lucent and SmartLink modem drivers are included. There are lots of text-mode applications out there and a very interesting flavour of Puppy could be created, based on this starting point.

Puppy Linux is an evolutionary operating system, based on GNU Linux. Whats different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, and thats it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM.

Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly.

Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy).

Grafpup Linux is a desktop Linux operating system based closely on Puppy Linux. Grafpups goal is to be as useful to graphic designers and other imaging professionals as possible while still remaining extremely small and fast. How small?
Grafpup is a live cd of only 72mb with current versions of Gimp, Cinepaint, Inkscape, and Scribus. You will be amazed at how much is in there for the size. You will also be amazed at how fast everything runs.
Running from the live cd, the entire operating system loads into ram, including all of the applications. This means that your programs start without any hesitation and respond instantly to your input. Unlike some live cds, however, you dont have to reconfigure every time you reboot.
Grafpup saves all of your settings into a file called pup101 on your hard drive. This file contains your entire home directory, plus any additional programs that you wish to install. Grafpup is also very user friendly, with wizards for doing most system tasks like connecting to the internet and installing to hard disk or usb drive.
There is also a powerful package management system, pupget, with a very extensive and ever increasing list of additional packages available for easy installation. An additional package installer, dotpup, offers single click installation of a long list of software. In other words this is much more than a garden variety live cd. It is capable of being your main operating system and extensible enough to satisfy just about anyone.
How is all of this accomplished? I wish I could take all of the credit but I really have to take my hat off to the developer of Puppy Linux, Barry Kauler. Puppy (and Grafpup) uses the squash filesystem method of compression to reduce the size of the cd image by about two thirds. Then, through the magic of unionfs the whole filesystem becomes writeable again.
For a full explanation please go to the Puppylinux website, www.puppylinux.org. Another aspect of the incredible size to utility ratio is the careful selection of applications that goes into Puppy and has made its way into Grafpup. Applications are chosen for speed and simplicity, avoiding bulky and wasteful code. Grafpup uses icewm as its default (and only) window manager.
KDE or Gnome arent even considered. Opera is used as the default browser and email client, instead of the common combination of Firefox and Thunderbird which would be half again as large. Though small, you will find that ROX-filer is one of the best filemanagers that you will ever use. It just plain works. I have further cut down in certain other areas in order to leave room for some serious heavy duty graphics applications.
Even though things are cut down, you will find that Grafpup is a fairly complete operating system and most tasks can be completed without the need for additional software. You will be able to browse the web, send and recieve email, write and print documents, organize your digital photos, and watch dvd movies and video off the internet.
You will also be able to burn cds and dvds, create impressive graphics and animations, put together professional looking web pages, and create press-ready brochures or other materials for print. And Im talking about the live cd without any additional software.
Visit the Grafpup and Puppy package repositories and you can unlock as much potential as any of the most popular Linux distros out there. There you will find such powerful software as OpenOffice and the Seamonkey internet suite. You can create 3d graphics using Blender, or even install and run a large selection of Windows software using Wine.
Try it and see for yourself. Since it is a live cd there is very little, if any, risk involved. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at what can be done using such a tiny system.
Enhancements:
- Grafpup 2.00 (final) is officially on the mirrors. This release comes with some really bleeding edge features when compared with previous versions, such as a 2.6.20.2 kernel, revamped package management with dependency resolution, GIMP 2.3.14, Cinepaint 0.22 with the Ufraw plug-in, a brand new control panel, cdrkit replacing cdrtools, Openbox replacing IceWM, and a host of other changes. In addition to the light-weight Openbox desktop, you can also easily download and install both Xfce and KDE. The software repository has blown up to include over 1,100 titles (and counting).

GNU Bayonne, the telecommunications application server of the GNU project, offers free, scalable, media independent software environment for development and deployment of telephony solutions for use with current and next generation telephone networks.
Building from source:
Before you can build and use GNU Bayonne, you must build and install GNU Common C++, GNU ccAudio, and GNU ccScript. These packages are all part of the GNU system and may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ or from any GNU mirror site. The first package you should download and build is GNU Common C++, and you should download the latest release version, which will be found in ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/commoncpp.
After downloading GNU Common C++, you can unpack it with:
tar -zxvf commoncpp-{VERSION}.tar.gz
Substitute VERSION with the version of your package.
Before you install GNU Common C++, you may wish to consider if you will make use of XML and SQL support in GNU Bayonne. If you intend to use these features, then you need to have the Gnome XML library (libxml2). This library is already installed as part of a normal Gnome desktop system, and very often used by many other applications, so it is likely you will already have it on your system. If you are on an RPM based system, and intend to use XML support, libxml2 is often split between a main and ``devel package. You will need to make sure your ``libxml2-devel package is installed, or that a ``xml2-config command exists in your bin path for GNU Common C++ and Bayonne to detect and include XML support.
To install GNU Common C++, enter the commoncpp directory you have unpacked to and run the ``configure script. For GNU/Linux systems, this script can be ran simply with ./configure, and GNU Common C++ will be installed to your /usr/local directory. If you wish to install GNU Common C++ to /usr, then enter ./configure -prefix=/usr. Once configure completes, simply perform a ``make install.
Next, you should download GNU current versions of GNU ccScript from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ccscript and the GNU ccAudio package from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ccaudio. These packages depend on GNU Common C++ being installed before they can be made. After downloading these packages, unpack each one similar to above. You will then run the ``configure script from each of these packages using the same options you choose to use when building GNU Common C++ (if any). Then simply perform a ``make install.
At this point you should also have installed any device drivers and link libraries that were part of or required by the computer telephony hardware you will be using. If you are using a CAPI based computer telephony card, then many GNU/Linux distributions already include the capi library needed for building GNU Bayonne and you need not have anything else installed. Many non-capi cards include link libraries and drivers that must be present for the card to work and to be controlled by external programs. Please follow the notes in the different hardware sections based on your hardware and make sure your hardware is working correctly before you download and install Bayonne.
You may now download GNU Bayonne from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bayonne. Once you download the GNU Bayonne package, you will unpack it as before, and you may then enter the package directory and run the ``configure script. The Bayonne configure can be passed a number of options that control what features will be enabled or disabled in GNU Bayonne. These can be used to tailor the server image for specific applications where only a select set of GNU Bayonne features and capabilities are required. A description of how to tailore GNU Bayonne is described in the next section.
If you do not wish to tailor GNU Bayonne, and in most cases, it is unessisary to do so, then you can simply run the ``configure script as is with default options. The configure script will test to see what computer telephony support exists on your machine, and will then build GNU Bayonne with drivers for whatever computer telephony support it has found. You may then use ``make to compile GNU Bayonne. Before you perform ``make install, review the section on installing your new server.
It is important to make sure the libraries required for your computer telephony hardware are present first because GNU Bayonnes configure script automatically detects which computer telephony card libraries are present and selects which computer telephony drivers GNU Bayonne will be built with. If Bayonne is installed before your computer telephony hardware and libraries, then it will likely fail to use your hardware since it did not detect it at configure time. However, you can always re-run the configure script in the package to enable GNU Bayonne to build drivers for your card if you change hardware or forget to install your hardware first.
Enhancements:
- Much improved MySQL operation.
- Dialogic globalcall call blocking issues have been fixed for very high call volume.

gdcalc project is a financial, statistics, scientific and programmers calculator for Unix and Linux with both RPN and algebraic modes.
The GUI was written with glade and uses the Gnome/Gtk+ toolkit - so it may well be compatible with themes and other whiz-bang features of those systems.
gdcalc has both Algebraic notation (ie. conventional, TI or Casio style) and Reverse Polish Notation (RPN or Hewlett-Packard style). If youve not heard of RPN before, you are probably familiar with algebraic calculators.
Very briefly, while simpler and more natural to use, RPN calculators need some study eg. they have an Enter key instead of the equals key.
Enhancements:
- change register label width X Y Z T L

GNOME project has built a complete free and easy-to-use desktop environment for the user, as well as a powerful application framework for the software developer.
GNOME is included in pretty much every BSD and GNU/Linux distribution and works on many other Unix systems.
It is a greatly improved user environment for existing GNOME applications.
Enhancements include anti-aliased text and first class internationalisation support, new accessibility features for disabled users, and many improvements throughout GNOMEs highly regarded user interface.
