Free suse 9.3 software for linux

myrescue is a program to rescue the still-readable data from a damaged harddisk. The project is similiar in purpose to dd_rescue, but it tries to quickly get out of damaged areas to first handle the not yet damaged part of the disk and return later.

Note:

This tools is no replacement for a professional data recovery service! If you do have the latter option, dont even think of using myrescue, as it may further damage your disk. This tool is provided only for the case that you are absolutely desperate and definitely cannot afford a professional data recovery. Or in case you know what you are doing, e.g. if you know that it is the aging of the magnetisation layer that is causing your problem.

The usual GPL disclaimer applies. Especially the NON-WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Dont blame (or sue) me if it fails to recover or further damages your data.

How it works

The program tries to copy the device blockwise to a file and keeps a table ("block bitmap") noting whether a block has been successfully copied, not yet handled or has had errors. This block bitmap can be used in successive runs to concentrate on the not yet rescued blocks.

The program has a special skip mode to handle read errors. Usually harddisk surface defects cover more than just one block and continuous reading in defect areas can damage the surface, the heads and (by permanent recalibration) the drive mechanics. If this happens, the chances of rescuing the remaining undamaged data drop dramatically. So in skip mode, myrescue tries to get out of damaged areas quickly by exponentially increasing the stepsize. The skipped blocks are marked as unhandled in the block bitmap and can be retried later.

Finally, the program has an option to multiply try to read a block before considering it damaged.

PySms project is a text messenger for various swiss providers. Supported right now are Orange, Swisscom and the ETH sms service.

Kye is a clone of the classic puzzle game Kye to Linux (well, to Python and pygtk, so it should run on most platforms where those are available). If you want to know what Kye is about, read here.

Python Kye is written and maintained by me, Colin Phipps. News of new Python Kye releases will be posted here.

Kye is an unusual little puzzle game, with a variety of different types of objects. It takes a little time to figure out all the objects and their normal behaviour; so I have included 6 starter levels to introduce the different objects and different types of level you see them in. Once you have a feel for the game, there are plenty of extra levels to choose from. I have put together a levels page, which picks out some of the easier level sets for people getting started. The levels vary enormously in difficulty, so once you are finding the levels easy, look for a harder set.

See the other pages on this site for more information about the game, and suggestions for levels to play. The site on classicgaming also has lots of good information. I have also started a mailing list as a discussion forum to allow people to discuss levels and level design ideas.

This is a clone of the original Kye, but it is a good one. I have done my best to make it as authentic to the original game as possible (and when I say my best, people who have seen PrBoom will know I take this seriously). It mimics the original, including some of the unusual/buggy things which occur in the original game. It should be compatible with all levels for v1.0 and v2.0 of the original Windows version of Kye. Let me know if you find a level which seem not to work right (*).

usocksd project is a user-mode SOCKS5 daemon.

While the usual "socksd" runs as a system service, perhaps on a firewall machine with no users, this one is intended to be run by users themselves.

There are two situations where this is useful:

1. User has access to a machine with less restricted connectivity than the machine he works on.

2. User is on an insecure network and wants all network traffic to be enrypted using "ssh", and has access to a machine running "sshd" on a more secure network. "usocksd" contains special provisions for this situation.

More information on how to run "usocksd" is in the man page.

Installation: sh ./configure; make; make install.
configure takes additional arguments --enable-debug, --enable-norelax and --with-socks5. configure --help for more info.

This program can itself use SOCKS, although I havent tested that option.

Developed on Linux 2.0, tested also on HPUX 10, AIX 4.1, Solaris 2.6.

Hybserv2 is a new and improved version of the now unsupported Hybserv, sporting new features, bugfixes, and more. Hybserv2 project is specifically designed for Hybrid IRC servers, but may work with others as well.
Each of the services can be enabled and disabled as necessary. Hybserv2 was specifically designed to run with Hybrid ircd, although it *should* work with Ratbox ircd and any other Hybrid-based ircd.
The former Hybserv development team has decided to spin off and focus its energy towards the Hybserv2 project. Like the name implies, this new version is even better. If there is something you would like to see added to Hybserv2, please let us know as we are always looking for fresh ideas.
Enhancements:
- This release has roughly 17 medium-significance enhancements, 29 bugfixes, and 16 minor enhancements, accompanied by a documentation update.

XFS combines advanced journaling technology with full 64-bit addressing and scalable structures and algorithms. This combination delivers the most scalable high-performance filesystem ever conceived.
Main features:
Quick Recovery
- The XFS journaling technology allows it to restart very quickly after an unexpected interruption, regardless of the number of files it is managing. Traditional filesystems must do special filesystem checks after an interruption, which can take many hours to complete. The XFS journaling avoids these lengthy filesystem checks.
Fast Transactions
- The XFS filesystem provides the advantages of journaling while minimizing the performance impact of journaling on read and write data transactions. Its journaling structures and algorithms are tuned to log the transactions rapidly.
- XFS uses efficient tree structures for fast searches and rapid space allocation. XFS continues to deliver rapid response times, even for directories with tens of thousands of entries.
Massive Scalability
- XFS is a full 64-bit filesystem, and thus is capable of handling filesystems as large as a million terabytes.
- 263 = 9 x 1018 = 9 exabytes
- A million terabytes is thousands of times larger than most large filesystems in use today. This may seem to be an extremely large address space, but it is needed to plan for the exponential disk density improvements observed in the storage industry in recent years. As disk capacity grows, not only does the address space need to be sufficiently large, but the structures and algorithms need to scale. XFS is ready today with the technologies needed for this scalability.
- XFS also continues to evolve to match the capabilities of the hardware it is being deployed on. Efficiency when dealing with large amounts (terabytes) of main memory and hence large numbers of active files and large amounts of cached file data are areas demanding continual improvements. Extending XFS to improve performance on large NUMA machines is also an area of active research and development.
Efficient Allocations
- XFS implements extremely sophisticated space management techniques. Efficiency in space management has been achieved through the use of variable sized extents, rather than the simple single-block-at-a-time mechanism of many other filesystems. XFS was the first filesystem to implement delayed space allocation for buffered writes, supports direct I/O, provides an optional realtime allocator, and is able to align allocations based on the geometry of the underlying storage device. The XFS allocator performs admirably in the presence of multiple parallel writers, and is renowned for its resistance to space fragmentation under such conditions.
Excellent Bandwidth
- XFS is capable of delivering very close to the raw I/O performance that the underlying hardware can provide. XFS has proven scalability on SGI Altix systems of multiple gigabytes-per-second on multiple terabyte filesystems.

aterr is an open source threaded forum system; allowing registered visitors to express their opinions, discuss topics, and debate with other visitors.
A threaded forum system differs from regular, flat forum systems in that once posted, a thread can fork, allowing visitors to reply directly to other posts.
aterr project also provides a customisable permissions system, the ability to nest forums, and moderation tools.
Main features:
User features
- Threaded forums - Posts are made in a logical manner, underneath the post they are referring to.
- Bookmarked threads - Threads can be bookmarked; when new posts are made you are immediately aware.
- Secure - The forums are developed with security as the top priority.
- Post tracking - aterr remembers which posts you have read and will display in a different colour any posts you have not read.
- Valid XHTML and CSS - aterr is designed in accordance with web standards, allowing it to be displayed correctly in any browser.
- Email notification - aterr can optionally send you emails when people reply to threads you have bookmarked.
- Atom/RSS feeds - Atom and RSS feeds are available for all public forums, showing the latest threads posted in a forum.
- Human-friendly URLs - If supported by the web server, aterr will use user-friendly URLs which make sense
Admin features
- Permissions - Creating private forums is simple and powerful with the permissions system.
- Simple yet powerful administration panel - The administration panel has two modes, simple and advanced. Simple allows for fast creation of forums, advanced allows fine-tuning of user permissions.
- Nested forums - Creating sub forums is easy.
- Simple install script - Just enter the database information and your desired username/password and aterr will be installed.
- Approval of posts - All posts made to a forum can be optionally pre-moderated (they must be approved by a moderator before they are displayed to others).
- Moving posts & threads - Whole threads, or individual posts and their followups can be moved to other forums.
- Stickies - Stickies can be created; a thread which is stuck appears at the top of the forum.
- Locked threads - A thread can be locked, preventing any replies from being made.
- Report posts - Posts can be reported to moderators, reported posts show up differently to moderators who can take action based on the report.
