Free small program software for linux

A Small MUD project is a minimal MUD implementation.

A Small MUD is a minimal MUD implementation, with some mildly intelligent mobs running around creating rooms.

A few pointers when reading the source code... the World class contains the "cells" in the dungeon - all those are created randomly by the mobs.

The MobFactory class contains and controls all mobs in the world - the class holds a reference to the World class.

Cells are specified by the World::CELL struct and mobs by the MobFactory::MOB struct. The SmallHandler class contains the World, MobFactory, and active sockets list (via SocketHandler).

Finally, the SmallSocket class handles all socket communication and the ListenSocket template class acts as the socket listen server.

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.
Enhancements:
- distribution didnt include saballistics.lsm.in

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

Damn Small Linux Not is built on Damn Small Linux technology. Damn Small Linux Not is also small, bigger than DSL but smaller than most. Damn Small Linux Not provides a reliable, and compact array of applications based mostly on the GTK2 libraries.
DSL-N is not an evolution of DSL, it is not intended as progress over the philosophy of DSL, but is intended for a different user, or the same user under different circumstances.
Main features:
- it is small
- it has software which is feature full
- it takes advantage of redundant lib dependencies and suits to pack features into a tight distribution
- DSL-N has a modern kernel and does not squeeze out critical modules that would limit compatibility
Like DSL, DSL-n can:
- Boot from from a CD as a live Linux distribution (LiveCD)
- Boot from a USB pen drive
- Boot from within a host operating system (thats right, it can run *inside* Windows)
- Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
- Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
- Run fully in RAM
- Modularly grow -- DSL-N is highly extendable without the need to customize
- The applications in DSL-N were chosen because they are functional, usable, and relatively compact. Unlike DSL, DSL-N has GTK2 applications, that means DSL-N will need more ram and CPU cycles than DSL. To have a pleasant experience, we recommend at least 64MBs and 300MHz.
DSL-N, unlike DSL, does not have a hard size cap, but it is being developed by the DSL team, and we hate bloat! So, dont expect DSL-N to get too big.
Why are you making this offshoot of DSL when DSL is so successful? Because a 50MB, GTK2 based distribution, with a 2.6.x kernel and excellent hardware detection/support is a contradiction in terms. DSL-N represents our best effort to stay compact while providing for the needs of those who want the Bling Bling such as SATA support, Gnumeric, Abiword, gMplayer.
Enhancements:
- Added "noprompt noeject" to default boot options for frugal installs.
- Fixed madwifi wireless.
- Fixed chpasswd vs passwd. "secure" boot option now works correctly.
- Added gnu-utils into the base iso.
- Fixed USB2 not loading bug
- Improved mydsl=hdxy when specified to not also search this makes it consistent with restore boot option.
- Enhanced exitcheck to prompt warning if no backup device is selected when requested to save special settings.
- Fixed multi user hard drive install bug.
- Added murgaLua Lua/Fltk development toolkit.

Calife project is small program that enable a system administrator to become root (or another user) on his/her machines without giving the root password but his/her own.
Main features:
- you keep your environment variables and shell aliases intact
- it has start and end of session logging
- you can have a list of all permitted logins for each calife user. That way, you can give a user newsmasters rights without giving out the root password
- you can specify a group in the configuration file instead of the logins of all administrators: Juste use @staff and all members of the staff will have access to calife
- calife can also be used to become users even if they have no home directory or even no shell. Thats very practical if you want to become uucp or even bin
- you can make Calife runs a specific system-wide script at the end of the session (to send a mail about what was done as root for example)
Enhancements:
- This version supports Solaris 10 and includes a PAM file for it.
- A working PAM file for FreeBSD 5 and above is included.
- The Mercurial hash ID is embedded in the binary.

SAgl is a portable small antialiased graphics library. It offers lines, circles, and bezier curves, as well as thick lines and fills.

It can be used on top of SDL or with X or any other graphics system.
