Mandriva Linux 10.2 Limited Edition 2005
Mandriva Linux is the operating system of choice for users keen on all things advanced. more>>
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.
Additional hardware enhancements include full support for Adaptec Host RAID controllers (RAID, SCSI, SATA) and extended recognition for the most recent flat screen monitors, including widescreen resolutions.

Panelizer is a memory efficient desktop panel. more>>
It works by holding all applets within the panel process itself.
Typical memory usage is currently around 1MB with 10 applets loaded.
Applets are provided by dynamically-loaded shared libraries, and new ones can be easily written using an easy C ABI.
Configuration is stored as XML and each applet has its own configuration data.
Here are some currently implemented applets of "Panelizer":
- launch menu (uses Open Desktop compatible entries)
- clock
- CPU instant load bar
- mail notifier (biff)
- removable drive mounter and ejecter

Parallel::ForkManager is a simple parallel processing fork manager. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Parallel::ForkManager;
$pm = new Parallel::ForkManager($MAX_PROCESSES);
foreach $data (@all_data) {
# Forks and returns the pid for the child:
my $pid = $pm->start and next;
... do some work with $data in the child process ...
$pm->finish; # Terminates the child process
}
This module is intended for use in operations that can be done in parallel where the number of processes to be forked off should be limited. Typical use is a downloader which will be retrieving hundreds/thousands of files.
My Own Building System 2.3.2
My Own Building System (a.k.a. mobs) is a GPLd build system, lightweight and easy to use, with a limited application framework. more>>
It provides the developer with some development helpers, including some makefile framework and an interface for the end-user (the 0 script). This building system supports the (more or less) automatic building of C, C++, Bison/Yacc, Flex/Lex, and Texinfo source files, and the creation of static and shared libraries and binaries.
It is not a GNU autoconf/automake clone, and although the command line of the 0 script certainly mimics the one of GNU configure it is only for the sake of end-users. Internally, and from the point of view of the developer, is very different.
php-sqlite3 0.5
php-sqlite3 is a PHP extension that lets you access SQLite3 databases within your scripts. more>>
PHP 4 and PHP 5 have already built-in support for this RDBM, but this is limited to the 2.x releases. This extension adds support for SQLite 3.x release.
Please note that this project is still alpha-quality. Please test and report if it works for you and how it can be enhanced.
Current (or planned) features include:
In-memory databases support
UTF-16 encoding
User-level SQL functions
PEAR::DB driver class
Enhancements:
- fix BEGIN...END/ROLLBACK statments queries (thanks to John Morrissey!)

$fractal = new Math::Fractal::DLA;
# Dynamic loading of the subclass Math::Fractal::DLA::TYPE
$fractal->setType( TYPE );
# Open the log file FILE
$fractal->debug( debug => 1, logfile => FILE );

$fractal->setPoints(5000);
$fractal->setFile( FILENAME );
# Color settings
$fractal->setBackground(r => 255, g => 255, b => 255);
$fractal->setColors(5);
$fractal->setBaseColor(base_r => 10, base_g => 100, base_b => 100, add_r => 50, add_g => 0, add_b => 0);

Large Database Backup 1.0
Large Database Backup is a PHP class can be used to backup large MySQL databases into multiple files. more>>
It can list the tables of a given MySQL database and generate SQL statements to create and insert records with the current values of the table rows, as if it was creating a new database. The class stores the generated SQL statements in files.
A full backup process can be split in multiple iterations to not exceed PHP default script execution time limit. Each iteration dumps a limited number of table rows. An iteration can be executed by a script that redirects the page request to itself at the end to proceed to the next iteration.
Jinamp Is Not An Mp3 Player 1.0.5
Jinamp is primarily a music shuffler for command line junkies. more>>
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.
