Small Arms Ballistics is, as the name says, a ballistics calculator for small arms fire. It is a terminal application written using curses.
Small Arms Ballistics is derived from smallball, which was written by Ole-Hj. Kristensen. I have pretty much rewritten the entire program, but smallball got me started. All major
trajectory calculations have been implemented, and a variety of bullet drag models are available.
The program needs a color capable terminal, otherwise it wont run.

Small Telnet Chat provides a chat server to which you can connect via a telnet client.

Small Telnet Chat (STC) is a chat server to which you can connect via a telnet client. It provides logging, automatic kicking, and IP blocking.

Requirements

Server: All you need are the files of the chatserver and a functional JRE.

Client: To connect to the server you need at VT100 capable telnet client.
Simple telnet to a server on which the STC is running. (You need to know the port on which the server is listening since STC can run on any port).

STC is known to work with:
-> PuTTY works fine
-> Win2000 telnet works
-> WinXP telnet works (some versions of WinXP telnet seem to have problems but up to date ones (with service packs, etc.) work)
-> Linux telnet (netkit) works

Installation

No special installation procedure is required. Simply unpack the archive into a directory and run it.

The configuration file (config.xml) has to be in the same directory as the server.

For those who want to put the server to place where executables usually reside (/usr/local/bin, etc.), a .jar file is provided.

Running

To run the chatserver, cd into the directory into which you have copied the files.

Run the server by typing:
java stc

grml-small is a bootable CD (Live-CD) based on Knoppix and Debian. grml-small includes a collection of GNU/Linux software for system administrators and provides automatic hardware detection.

Whereas grml (without the -small) provides more than about 2.1GiB of software on a 700MB-ISO, grml-small is a very small rescue system for systemadministrators.

It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you dont even need a harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml-small includes about 150 MB of software and still fits on a business card CD-ROM or USB device with 50MB.

Initial release of grml-small, a very small version of the grml-system. Notice that there are several hacks to reduce the ISO-size, so you wont find for example documentation and manpages on the ISO.

grml-small provides support for booting via USB, see http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb for details.

Kernel is based on vanilla kernel 2.6.12 including several patches (MPPC/MPPE, Reiser4, Squashfs,...) but compared with the normal grml system the kernel features have been reduced. See http://grml.org/kernel/ for more details.
