Free still available software for linux

Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator.
Stella was originally developed for Linux by Bradford W. Mott, however, since its original release several people have joined the development team to port Stella to other operating systems such as AcornOS, AmigaOS, DOS, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, OS/2, MacOS, Unix, and Windows. The development team is working hard to perfect the emulator and we hope you enjoy our effort.
On this site youll find information about downloading, installing, using, and enhancing Stella. Youll also find useful information about the Atari 2600 and emulation.
Enhancements:
Added new video sub-system where fullscreen and windowed modes are treated
differently. Windowed modes now use -zoom_tia and -zoom_ui arguments,
while fullscreen modes can be specified by resolution using the new
-fullres argument.
- Widescreen video modes are now supported; Stella will simply center the
image with surrounding black borders.
- Many UI-related changes, including resizable ROM launcher and debugger
windows, and a new UI palette (the previous classic palette is still
available). This is still a work in progress.
- The locations of all major config files (statedir, palette file,
cheat file, properties file, etc) are now configurable from the
commandline and within the UI.
- Updates to TIA palette support. Added SECAM support, and removed the
built-in original palette. Standard, z26, and user are still
available.
- Various bugfixes to some debugger commands. The run command no
longer causes a crash, and several others have better error-checking.
- Added more complete cartridge auto-detection for Commavid (CV), 3E,
3F and Activision (FE) formats.
- Removed XStart and Width ROM properties, since the forthcoming TIA
rework wont be using them.
- Reworked internal storage of ROM properties to be faster and take up
less space.
- Added several different ways of stretching the OpenGL image to the
-gl_fsmax argument, for more flexibility.
- Removed OpenGL aspect ratio setting favour of the previously mentioned
video changes. Well see how this goes.
- Removed dirty-rect support from software rendering, since it was actually
sub-optimal in Windows and OSX and defaulted to off in previous versions.
- Added support for gzipped ROMs.
- Re-added pause support.
- Re-added support for Windows 98.
- Removed support for STELLA_BASEDIR environment variable, since each
config file can be now configured separately.
- Removed -fastscbios argument, since it must always be turned on.
- Removed PSP support, since it hasnt been updated in over a year, and
someone else is maintaining another port elsewhere.
- For the Unix/Linux port; fixed make install issues, and changed icon to
PNG format.

Tuxball is a simple basketball shooting game.

A little C#/Cairo experiment and pretty much still is but it turn out to be pretty fun, imo. Main idea was to develop something like winhoops for Windows.

This is a very simple applet that provides a way of notifying you that a particular time has arrived. It allows you to display a dialog box with a message in it, execute a command, play a sound file or make the applet flash on and off at a particular time of day.
This all came about because on numerous occasions there has been something that i needed to be doing, but was late for because i had become engrossed in programming something or other. Well, here is a little panel applet that should hopefully help.
Version restrictions:
The sound file that is used for sound alarms can be changed on the fly and the next sound alarm will use the new file. This may or may not cause a memory leak if you change the file a lot, so be careful for the moment.
The volume control doesnt work yet, so youll have to change that manually using a mixer program.
I have only tested this applet myself, so there are probably bugs that i havent found yet, or better ways of doing things.
If you compile the applet withou sound support, the option to have a sound alarm is still available, although it doesnt actually do anything. I could sort this out by putting loads of #ifdefs all over the place, but i happen to agree that it makes for ugly code which is difficult to maintain.
Enhancements:
- Added patches from Bruno Pires Marinho that fixed a few things and changed a few things for the better.
- NB. This will probably be the last release that contains bug fixes/features that have been contributed by myself. If i find any horrendous bugs then ill fix them, but if you want anything added from now on, then youll have to do it yourself and send me a patch.
Any new releases of the current code after this will be based on this new system of code modifcation and delegation.

Gzilla is a web browser written in the Gtk+ framework. Its still in early alpha, but it works well, withou problem till now.

LablGTK is a GTK+ bindings for Objective Caml.

LablGTK is an OCaml library wrapping the GTK+ API. It uses the rich type system of Objective Caml to provide a strongly typed, yet very comfortable, object-oriented interface to GTK+.

It also has support for libgnomecanvas, libpanel, librsvg, GtkGLArea and the Druid widget in libgnomeui.

It is still under development, but already fully functional. All widgets (but one) are available, with almost all their methods. The GLArea widget is also supported in combination with LablGL. LibGlade and GdkPixbuf support is also included for both versions. LablGTK2 adds support for gnomecanvas, librsvg and libpanel Many examples are provided.

Objective Caml threads are supported, including for the toplevel, which allows for interactive use of the library.

Network technology evolves quickly, but available bandwidths are still not sufficient for fast transfers of big files to a bunch of clients (for example populating operating systems installation images).

This paper describes Multicasting Master-Slave Network Filesystem (mmsnfs) -- a new method of distributing entire filesystem among several client-machines simultaneously and efficiently.

Moreover it provides mechanisms for modifying distibuted filesystem structure reliably and securing it against introducing inconsistencies. It is designed to be used in small networks of similarly-configured machines, for instance university labs or internet cafes.

FritzCallerID is a SuperKaramba theme that shows number, name and address (if available) for incoming and outgoing calls via the AVM FritzBox (http://avm.de).

It searches for the name and address for a certain number in the German phone book www.dasoertliche.de.

Phone numbers are fetched via the integrated callmonitor of the FritzBox, available on Port 1012. Before using it, you first have to open this Port of your FritzBox by dialing #96*5* from any connected phone. Firmware version xx.03.99 or newer is required.

It is still very experimental, no error handling.
