Free to many software for linux

Finomaton project allows users comfortably draw and typeset finite state machines (automata).

The resulting graphs can be exported to plain MetaPost and subsequently be included in TeX and LaTeX documents for excellent typesetting quality. Contrary to many other packages, the mouse can be used to interactively move objects around.

States are magnetic to facilitate connection, and any TeX command can be embedded in the labels of states and lines.

Gnome-sshman is an ssh session manager for Gnome.

Gnome-sshman is easy and fast to use and is useful for system administrators that need to connect to many SSH servers.

Gnome-sshman saves ssh sessions and allows you to open a saved session with selecting the saved session in a extensible menu. Also, is capable to save all your ssh passwords encrypted with AES in their keyring to open later with an unique passphrase.

Gnome-sshman has a new ssh terminal builded with vte and has tabs support (a ssh session for tab), a fast access new session menu, etc.
As graphical scp session substitute, you can use nautilus to open sftp sessions.

Is programmed with pygtk and glade (Im learning pygtk+glade making this program:).

dk.brics.automaton project is a Java package that contains a DFA/NFA (finite-state automata) implementation with Unicode alphabet (UTF16) and support for the standard regular expression operations (concatenation, union, Kleene star) and a number of non-standard ones (intersection, complement, etc.).

In contrast to many other automaton/regexp packages, this package is fast, compact, and implements real, unrestricted regular operations. It uses a symbolic representation based on intervals of Unicode characters.

ObexTool is a graphical frontend to communicate with mobiles and other devices capable of communicating via Obex Protocol. Visit also the pages which are referred in the INSTALL file, you will find more usefull information there. Take also a look at the ChangeLog to see whats new in this version
The main goal was to create a OpenSource version of a software, which is able to communicate with mobiles and other communication devices using a standard communication protocol. ObexTool itself is licensed under GPL.
Siemens provides a package which has similar intentions and is called "Data Exchange Software". This software is available for Windows only. ObexTool has been developed under Linux and has been tested on RedHat8+9, SuSE 8.0+8.2+9.0, Mandrake 9.0, xS+S BLD, Debian 3.0+3.1 and Fedora Core 1+2.
This program will become better that its commercial counterparts.
The program was developed using a Siemens M50. In general the M50 is NOT ABLE to communicate via the serial interface using the Obex protocol, because Siemens has locked this area. You will find information and tools in the Web (e.g. at the great GSM site Multifunds GSM Info Page) how to "unlock" the internal memory area and make the FlexMem available to the owner of the device.
Many people say that you loose your warranty when you "patch" a phone - maybe, I dont know, Im no lawyer.
IMHO makes the "locking" of such a feature a device almost worthless, because the owner is not able to load his self-developed software into his phone without "paying a provider".
That is dumb and is counterproductive to many developers and will prevent the creation of a lot of great software for such a device.
Another objective was the independency of a manufacturer. ObexTool (and the underlying ObexFTP) should also work with other phones. Siemens S45, S45i, S25, S35, SL45i, SL45, M50, C55, S55, C65, C65V, Ericsson R320, T68i, Sony/Ericsson T300, Ki700, Nokia 6230, Nokia 6670 have been reported to work with obexftp - see also http://triq.net/obexftp.html for further details.
Enhancements:
- Bug in read_obextool_config repaired (thanks to Dalibor Straka)
- New config parameter dir_slash for Nokia 6670 (thanks to Daniel Burr)
- ObexTool directory changed to full lowercase (obextool-0.33)
- Debian repository (maintained by Hendrik Sattler since 0.32)

Aggrevator is a cross-platform RSS/Atom aggregator that uses a MySQL 4.1 database for storage. It is designed to make life easier for people who want to subscribe to large numbers of blogs by using scoring, sophisticated search, filtering and sorting.
Its designed for people who are subscribed to many RSS and blog sites and is capable for advanced search, filtering and sorting.
Aggrevators chief distinguishing factor is its use of a MySql database to permanently store every entry fetched from every blog you subscribe to. This means that the user can read offline any of the several thousand blogs theyre interested in. Since Aggrevator is written in Java using the SWT library for its GUI the user can use it on multiple platforms (I have tested it using Linux and Windows) with a single remote database or on one machine with a local database.
Aggrevator offers the user search functionality which lets them track down entries they have read in the past even if theyre offline. The user also has the option of using the filters as a means of finding a particular blog by typing a minimal set of characters and seeing the list of candidates shrink as they type each character.
Main features:
- easy to find in large number of blogs
- filtering capabilities of blogs
