Free university entry points software for linux

Zen explorer desktop entry adds a service menu with the option to send a music file to your Creative zen jukebox.

Ive only tested it with Zen V Plus 2 gig, but it uses libmtp to send the file. Not too exciting, i wrote it in less than a minute.

Boston University Linux is based on Fedora Core Linux, but specifically tailored for the BU environment.

Weve added security updates, made modifications to make software work better with the way things are set up here, and added some applications that we think you might like to have.

The server edition of BU Linux provides a modern, stable, and robust server platform suitable for long-term deployment in many roles throughout the university.

Supported Hardware

Currently, only i686-class machines are supported. This includes almost everything from Intels Pentium Pro on. AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems will work fine using their 32-bit mode. Watch for a 64-bit version later this summer.

Specific Notes on Server Applications

Mail Server:

BU Linux 4.5 Server Edition (Zodiac) includes three different choices of Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for your mail server. Each of these open source servers has its unique strengths, and you can install one or more and use the utility system-switch-mail to choose which is active.

The default is IBMs Postfix, which is designed from scratch to be secure and easily configurable. On a newly-installed BU Linux machine, Postfix is configured to exchange mail on the local machine and to send mail out to other systems, but not receive mail from the network. For this reason, outgoing mail from global BU accounts (those matching valid BU login names and with the proper UID) will appear to come from @bu.edu rather than @hostname.bu.edu. Local users (including system accounts) will retain the hostname, but without reconfiguration, any replies will bounce. Changing the system to accept mail is easy; see the BU Linux web site for details.

For the maximum flexibility and for compatibility with existing configurations (and with existing expertise), we also include the traditional standard Sendmail. And, if you have particular special needs, you may find that the new Exim MTA fits your situation best.

No matter which MTA you choose, please contact us if you need any assistance. With so many options available, the situation can be confusing, and its unfortunately easy for an accidentally misconfigured system to become a target for spam relayers. We have significant expertise at configuring both Postfix and Sendmail in a variety of situations, and will be glad to help.

FTP Server:

This release of BU Linux provides two options for FTP. The first is vsftpd, which is designed to be simple and secure. This is the most appropriate for almost all situations, but if you require more power and flexibility, we also include ProFTPd, which has many more options and a configuration syntax similar to that of the Apache web server.

Please also remember that FTP is an insecure protocol and that any passwords used travel over the network in plain text. For this reason, its best to avoid anything but anonymous FTP. For user-authenticated file transfer, use SSH and SFTP. (SFTP is provided by the OpenSSH server and enabled by default.)

Web Server:

The web server software included in BU Linux is the industry-standard Apache httpd. We also include PHP 4.3 and many other useful tools for building a web server.
If you need to provide authenticated access to web services to BU users, please contact us and we will provide you with our University-standard Weblogin module. This provides a powerful and flexible means of single-signon access control for the BU user community and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide this for your users.

Database Server:

BU Linux includes MySQL 4.1 and PostgreSQL 7.4. For less demanding SQL applications, we also provide SQLite 3, which provides simple SQL databases without the management overhead of running a SQL server.

SPindent (Server Page Indenter) is a JSP/PHP structural validator and indenter. It performs structural compatibility check of inner HTML generated from "parallel" branches of process flow statements such as if/else.

It allows for those HTML branches to have different entry and exit HTML stack points, as far as the branches are compatible.

This allows for verification and proper indentation of handy workarounds, as well as rusty pyramids. It is based on MixedCC (Mixed Compiler Compiler).

NetCalendar is a network capable and mostly UNIX /usr/bin/calendar database compatible Calendar application programmed in Java.

NetCalendars initial motivaion was a programming project at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences for the object oriented programming class. But it became much more than just that!

Net::Google::Calendar::Entry is an entry class for Net::Google::Calendar.

SYNOPSIS

my $event = Net::Google::Calendar::Entry->new();
$event->title(Party!);
$event->content(P-A-R-T-Why? Because we GOTTA!);
$event->location("My Flat, London, England");
$event->status(confirmed);
$event->transparency(opaque);
$event->visibility(private);

my $author = Net::Google::Calendar::Person->new;
$author->name(Foo Bar);
$author->email(foo@bar.com);
$entry->author($author);

Tina POS is a point of sales application designed for touch screens.

Tina POS supports ESC/POS ticket printers, customer displays, and barcode readers.

Its multi-user and has a great backoffice with a product entry form, reports, and charts.

Data::ICal::Entry::Event is a Perl module that represents an event in an iCalendar file.

SYNOPSIS

my $vevent = Data::ICal::Entry::Event->new();
$vevent->add_properties(
summary => "my party",
description => "Ill cry if I want to",
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
dtstart => Date::ICal->new( epoch => time )->ical,
);

$calendar->add_entry($vevent);

$vevent->add_entry($alarm);

A Data::ICal::Entry::Event object represents a single event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.
