Free system software for linux

System-CoW is a system monitoring SuperKaramba theme.

You must have installed hddtemp and all i2c sensors in kernel to have this script working!

You must launch:

hddtemp -d /dev/hd[abc] // if you have 3 disks!

to have temperature working!

For gentoo add a line to /etc/conf.d/local.start to load the command line at startup!

System monitor is a simple system monitor, used in this icons from Vista Inspirate and Metal Gold icon themes.

Dealing with the UNIX command line, especially in order to manipulate the file system, is one of the biggest hurdles to widespread use of UNIX and Linux.Rialog for running arbitrary programs avoids need to manually open terminal windows.
System G was written to provide a simple way to access to the file system in the form of a graphical hierarchy of files and folders. System G project works with any window manager.
Main features:
- Simple, tree style, hierarchical display of files and folders
- Option to either display each folder in a separate window or to navigate the folder hierarchy within a single window
- File bindings dialog to associate file types with programs
- Rialog for running arbitrary programs avoids need to manually open terminal windows.
- Automatically mounts disk when the associated directory is opened
- Format UNIX and DOS floppy disks.
- Drag-and-Drop to move and copy files and to create symbolic links (Fully compliant with the X Drag-and-Drop (XDND) and X Direct Save (XDS) protocols.)
- Rename files and folders simply by clicking on the name and typing.
- Change permissions simply by clicking on the appropriate permission.
- All main windows have configurable button bars.
- Sort by name, user, group, size, or date.
- Shortcuts to your most frequented folders
- Customizable menu shortcuts
- (by editing string database -- a graphical editor is planned for later)

- Y2K compliant
Enhancements:
- Added "Open recent" menu.
- Added "Convert to file" and "Convert to program" items to File menu.
- Added "New text file" to the File menu.
- Fixed "Alternate open" so it only asks for one command, and then runs that command on all selected files.
- Updating is now much faster, and it works well with slow network file systems like sshfs.
- No longer opens CVS and SCCS directories when Shift-click or Meta-click.
- Fixed bug so default drop action is Copy when dragging from partition A to partition B displayed inside a window displaying partition A.

YaaCs is a CATI system that lets you manage and do interviews. YaaC system divides the survey process into administration and strictly operative tasks.
It make easy monitoring survey progress (giving several information), and it allows the management of the the survey with several administration tools.
It simplifies the interviewers work reading all contacts data from an easy and functional GUI. It can send faxes via hylaFAX and save all contacts data in a PostgreSQL database.
Enhancements:
- This release features a rewrite from scratch, VoIP support (IAX2 protocol), automatic outcomes classifcation, a new database design, support for internationalization (with English and Italian translations), new monitoring tools (via the tclami package), instant messaging (IM), the ability to recruit interviewers through SMS, phone, or email, an improved replicates algorithm, and an new installation system that uses autotools.

jFlash is a multilingual, web-based flashcard system based on open web standards, PHP, and XML. jFlash System consists of two principal software modules:
1. A PHP system for indexing and delivering flashcard content.
2. A browser-neutral Javascript application that parses out and presents a set flashcards represented in XML.
jFlash is useful when you want to memorize something, and perhaps share the ability to memorize things with other people over the web. In addition, jFlash is language neutral since its content is presented in UTF-8, so theoretically you could use jFlash to drill anything from Arabic airports to zoo names in Tamil.
A number of learners around the globe and about 15 students in a University of Minnesota Korean class.
Please let me know if you find my software useful and Ill add a link to your jFlash content on my page if you wish!
jFlash is a server-side web application, so you must at present have a PHP-enabled web server.
Enhancements:
- The PHP frontend was updated to be compatible with PHP versions 5.0 or later by using the included compatibility shim for the new PHP XML DOM interface.
- A few more example lessons were added.

J Operating System is primarily intended for programmers.
Target Users:
- Hobbiests--You used to buy computers to do programming. They didnt do much else. Windows doesnt even come with a compiler, which is ironic since Bill Gates wrote BASIC. The "J" operating system is primarily intended for programmers. Ive attempted to lower the bar, so amateurs can contribute. I hope to recreate the dynamic environment that used to exist when the Commodore 64 was around and everyone was creating odd-ball software.
- Researchers--Im sure many lab researchers still use DOS because they have to interact with hardware, which is difficult with Windows.
Main features:
- No security! You can access all ports, memory and disk blocks to your hearts content. When youre working with your own computer, security just gets in the way and makes things slow--I hate anti-virus and anti-spyware because they just slow things down. When you know you dont have a risk, have no secrets and do regular back-ups, who needs security?
- Uniformity
- There is no virtual memory and everyone is on the same address-map. You can easily communicate between tasks, passing addresses. Addresses start at a base of zero and, essentually, segment registers are not used.
- There is basically one language to learn called "C+" which is a little more than "C", but less than "C++". You dont need to learn a scripting langauge because everything uses this syntax.
- There is an extension of ASCII called "J" rich text which allows colors, links, graphics and various widgets in your documents. This format is used in source code, documents, help, menus, etc.
- Support for compressed, encrypted and contiguous files.
- FAT32, FAT12 and ISO9660 filesystems.
- Blazing-fast compiler which can recompile everything in 5 seconds. It doesnt optimize.
- All source code is included and its still around a Meg.
Hardware:
- PS/2 mouse and keyboard
- VGA graphics
- Some hard drives. Must be on the primary or secondary IDE controller and support LBA28. Drives of 120Gig are the limit.
- Some CD-ROM/DVD drives, including burning.
- Some floppies. Just 1.44Meg and not all types.
- No USB support yet
- No network support yet
- ASCII printers on the parallel port are supported.

System.FilePath is a Haskell library from Yhc originally, now with added tweaks. Pure Haskell 98 (with Hierarchical libraries), no preprocessor. It has a nice interface for doing file manipulations, and works portably between Windows and Unix. [Not the same as http://darcs.haskell.org/~lemmih/FilePath/]

The interface is still changing, for that reason please use System.FilePath.Version_0_10 or System.FilePath.Version_0_11 which will be guaranteed to work unmodified in future releases.

I have written a System.FilePath module in part based on the one in
Yhc, and in part based on the one in Cabal (thanks to Lemmih). The aim
is to try and get this module into the base package, as FilePaths are
something many programs use, but its all too easy to hack up a little
function that gets it right most of the time on most platforms, and
there lies a source of bugs.

This module is Posix (Linux) and Windows capable - just import
System.FilePath and it will pick the right one. Of course, if you
demand Windows paths on all OSs, then System.FilePath.Windows will
give you that (same with Posix). Written in Haskell 98 + Heirarchical
Modules.

System.FilePath from Cabal, by Lemmih
FilePath.hs and NameManip.hs from MissingH

The one from Cabal and FilePath.hs in MissingH are both very similar, I
stole lots of good ideas from those two.

NameManip seems to be more unix specific, but all functions in that module
have equivalents in this new System.FilePath module.

Hopefully this new module can be used without noticing any lost functions,
and certainly adds new features/functions to the table.

Should FilePath by an abstract data type?

The answer for this library is no. This is a deliberate design decision.

In Haskell 98 the definition is type FilePath = String, and all functions
operating on FilePaths, i.e. readFile/writeFile etc take FilePaths. The
only way to introduce an abstract type is to provide wrappers for these
functions or casts between Strings and FilePathAbstracts.

There are also additional questions as to what constitutes a FilePath, and
what is just a pure String. For example, "/path/file.ext" is a FilePath. Is
"/" ? "/path" ? "path" ? "file.ext" ? ".ext" ? "file" ?

With that being accepted, it should be trivial to write
System.FilePath.ByteString which has the same interface as System.FilePath
yet operates on ByteStrings.
