Free standalone utilities that improve pc software for linux

NAND Flash Utilities is a set of utilities for accessing NAND Flash through an IDE interface.

These utilities work with the Linux MTD subsystem to allow developing, testing, and experimenting of NAND Flash on a PC.

lsd mount utilities project assist in setting up (creating) and mounting encrypted loopback file systems in Linux 2.4 and 2.6.
They also enable users (not just root) to mount encrypted file systems if appropriate entries have been added to /etc/fstab.
Enhancements:
- The installation footprint has been reduced by a factor of around 2.3.
- Formerly separate programs have been gathered into a single one.
- The name under which the program is installed was changed.
- The tool verbosity was greatly reduced (since standard error is now suppressed for most of the probing with external tools).
- To get a partial trace of the things happening internally (e.g. which external programs are invoked) you can now set the environment variable lsd_lama_trace=verbose.

KDELirc Improved (patch) adds some different new features to improve kdelirc usability. Above all i added On Screen Display, using Konversation and Amarok codebase. When some key is pressed on the remote, its shown through OSD on your desktop, and mode changing is advertised too.
I also added an option to allow mode changing with one key only, instead of binding one key for each mode. A new DCOP method now allows to suspend and resume key binding for the remote (dcop irkick IRKick setEnabled true/false).
Enhancements:
- Removed Konversation OSD, using Amarok one instead (improved, with images and translucency support).
- Now showing icon for mode change, for better visual recognition.
- Also showing a little icon for the keypress, so indicating what mode is in use.
- Added an option to select a different font for mode change and key press.
- Added dcop call to show osd text through dcop.

PDFUtil is a service menu entry that allows rotate and other interesting utilities for pdf files.

Allied Intent is a Community War Game Mod for Battlefield 2. New and updated maps, vehicles, weapons and kit items, skins and texture recolor, new weapon and explosion effects, new coding features, vehicle music, and a much-improved single player experience.

Allied Intent is a modification, a "mod" for the PC game Battlefield 2. BF2 is of the First Person Shooter game style, and Allied Intent is a free add-on for those who purchased BF2.

Allied Intent seeks to enhance the BF2 experience in every way, by adding new content and features, making changes to gameplay, and involving the community in the mods development. Allied Intent supports players of all ages, backgrounds, and gaming preferences. Allied Intent is for the BF2 player who likes single player and multiplayer matches. And Allied Intent actively engages the community in contributing content to be officially sanctioned in the mod releases. Allied Intent is a mod by the community, for the community.

We are a handful of modders, bot specialists, coders, artists, gamers, and forum members. We are always looking for talented developers to join the team. And as mentioned above, we want the community to know its contributions will be highly instrumental in making this mod a model for excellence. Allied Intent is in no way related to Digital Illusions CE (the development company) nor Electronic Arts (the publishing entity) of BF2, but we greatly appreciate their release of BF2 and will strive to make it even better with our mod.

Allied Intent is set in the modern era, present day, and near future. By combining elements of immersion, realism, and "fun" factor, Allied Intent provides a gaming environment only limited by the imagination of the developers and community contributors.

Network Utilities Module for Webmin features tools like ping, traceroute, nslookup, nmap, whois. It also gives an Interface to Whois and it features an IP Subnet Calculator. It calculates netmasks and gives you the smallest available netmask for a given number of hosts. I hope that you will enjoy using this software and send me reports via email.
The installation is quite simple: Login to your Webmin as admin (or whatever you called the adminstrative user) and go to the Webmin tab, then choose "Webmin Configuration". Now click on "Webmin Modules". Give the file in the first box (you can choose any installation method, all should work). Hit Install. Now the module is being installed.
The first options define where the module shall look for the programs. Automatic will look if the program is in the PATH and if so it will use it. In some cases you may want to define it, for example if you want to use a self-compiled program.
The quick option are for the commands on the startpage. It has a standard builtin, but in some cases you may want to use you own. For example if you want to make a ping with 10 packets. Then you would use "-c 10 HOST". The string HOST is replaced by the hostname when the command is executed. The option "Allow other programs to be used if check for one binary fails" defines, if the module gives an error (with no option to use the other programs) if one binary is missing.
The next option defines this: You have called on of the two functions and now want to use the next, if this option is set to "Yes" the old result will be kept, otherwise it will not be displayed.
The module has some servers for Whois-queries hard-coded, you can define more in the last option as a comma-separated list.
Enhancements:
- Long waited update. Optical changes to fit new standard webmin theme. Cleanup. Removed dependancy on Net::XWhois module. Now uses console tool (like for the other programs).

Linux NFS Utilities are NFS utilities for Linux NFS clients and servers.
Main features:
- NFS Versions 2, 3, and 4 are supported on 2.6 and later kernels.
- NFS over UDP and TCP on IPv4 are supported on the latest 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
- Linux NFS clients and servers have been tested against many non-Linux implementations.
- Since version 1.0.1 of the NFS utilities tarball has changed the server export default to "sync", then, if no behavior is specified in the export list (thus assuming the default behavior), a warning will be generated at export time.
- If you plan to deploy NFS extensively, consider subscribing to one of these mailing lists: NFS Mailing List, or the AutoFS Mailing List. Before reporting problems, you should search for similar issues in the searchable mail archive. Another searchable archive for NFS, supported by Google, is here. The searchable mail archive for AutoFS is here.
- A useful set of generic NFS references includes the following:
- - "NFS Illustrated," by Brent Callaghan; Addison-Wesley, 2000.
- - "Managing NFS and NIS, 2nd edition," by Hal Stern, Mike Eisler, Ricardo Labiaga; OReilly, 2001.
- - "Linux NFS and Automounter Administration," by Erez Zadok; Sybex, 2001.
- - "Using the Linux NFS Client with Network Appliance Filers," by Charles Lever; Netapp TR-3183, 2004.
- - "Mike Eislers NFS blog."
- - "Eric Kustarzs blog."
- - "NFS version 4 home page."
- - Finally, the "linux.org online library" has many references.
Quick setup client guide
1. Acquire and install a recent distribution of Linux.
2. Set up your /etc/exports file (man exports for details).
3. Consult your distributions documentation to determine which /etc/init.d start-up script is used to start your server. Start NFS services by invoking this script as root, using the "start" parameter. Consider adding this script to the list of scripts that are automatically run at system start-up. (Red Hat uses the chkconfig command for this purpose).
4. Read the NFS How-To for advice on tuning and securing your server.
Quick Client Setup Guide
1. Acquire and install a recent distribution of Linux. To enable NLM lock recovery, ensure your clients host name, as returned by uname -n, matches the host name returned by DNS.
2. The NLM protocol is handled by an in-kernel service in modern kernels, but the user-level rpc.statd program must be running to enable NLM lock recovery. Consult your distributions documentation to determine which /etc/init.d start-up script is used to start it. Start the NSM daemon by invoking this script as root, using the "start" parameter. Consider adding this script to the list of scripts that are automatically run at system start-up. (Red Hat uses the chkconfig command for this purpose).
3. Create the directories on your client where you will mount the NFS shares.
4. Add entries in /etc/fstab corresponding to your mount points (man nfs for details).
5. Use mount -a -t nfs to mount the NFS shares.
6. During system boot-up, most distributions automatically mount NFS shares that are listed in /etc/fstab. If yours doesnt, check your distributions documentation for instructions on how to configure your client to do this.
Enhancements:
- The "mount.nfs" command was added, since the nfs mount functionality is being migrated from util-linux to nfs-utils.
- Substantial changes to were made statd. Various pieces of old code were removed.
- Lots of bugfixes and improvements were made.
