Free vista software for linux

Vista Basic provides a theme similar to Microsoft Vista.

window borders similar to those of Microsoft Vista when using non Aero compatible software (such as JRE 6 or Photoshop CS 2)

Vista-Inspirate provides a Vista-looking icon pack for KDE and Gnome.

This is an icon theme based on my other theme "nuoveXT" and "Windows Vista".

It is strongly recommended to have NuoveXT (1.5) installed to use this theme, simply because it inherits it (all mimetypes for instance).

OpenVista CIS is a Gtk# EHR for interfacing with VistA based systems (Medsphere OpenVista, VAs VistA, etc.)

OpenVista CIS is a rewrite of the Department of Veteran Affairs Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) in Gtk#. The focus is on using a modern language, internationalization, and cross-platform support.

Architecture

There are two major components to OpenVista, a client (Medsphere OpenVista CIS, commonly referred to just as CIS, OpenVista CIS, or OpenVista Client) and a middleware component (Medsphere OpenVista Bridge). The Bridge handles doing raw RPC communication with the VistA Broker and provides a SOAP (currently broken) and Binary Remoting interface to the client (the client uses one or the other for a given connection). The Bridge is meant to be run on a server (either one running VistA itself, or a separate machine), while CIS runs on a client machine (any machine with a .NET environment and Gtk# available).

There is another component, currently under development, called OpenVista Vitals. This will be both a stand-alone vitals application, as well as a component of OpenVista CIS when it is completed. Note that this project is *not* completed, and should only be considered a pre-preview of what is to come from the Vitals component.

A small portion of the CIS component is actually broken into a separate executable, PdfConverter.exe. This small utility acts as a remoting server, responsible for converting raw bytes of PDFs into GdkPixbuf bytes. This needs to be done out of process, as poppler (and by extension, poppler-sharp) is licensed under the GPL.

The PDFConverter.exe sources, as well as the few shared classes used for remoting, are licensed under a GPL compatible license. We hope in the future that a PDF library with a license less restrictive than the GPL will be available, such that we can increase PDF rendering performance by not having the rendering done out of process.

VirtualBox application is a family of powerful x86 virtualization products for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL). See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction; see "InnoTek" for more about our company.

Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows and Linux 32-bit hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), and OpenBSD.

VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while InnoTek ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria.

SimplyMEPIS is a ready to go desktop operating system for PCs and Apple computers that have Intel or AMD 32 or 64 bit processors. SimplyMEPIS project is easier than Windows Vista and intuitive for Windows XP and Windows 98 users. MEPIS includes all of the applications that most users need and want. SimplyMEPIS is designed to replace or work side by side with Vista or XP on PCs. MEPIS offers Apple users an opportunity to have it all: OSX, MEPIS 32 and/or 64, and if necessary Windows running in a virtual machine sandbox.

Warren Woodford of MEPIS has built KDE 4 Beta 1 live DVDs to verify the compatibility of KDE 4 with SimplyMEPIS 7.x. Both 32-bit and 64-bit editions are available. They are about 1 GB each and include all of the KDE 4 applications that are working at this time. KDE 4 Beta 1 is a very early release and is meant for developers, testers, and reviewers. The live DVDs were built using a MEPIS 7.0 Etch core and include the usual MEPIS kernel and hardware compatibility features. Since KDE 4 is functionally different than KDE 3 and also in an early beta state, a minimal KDE 3 installation remains on the disk to facilitate exploration by the user.

Monetra (formerly known as MCVE) is a scalable credit card processing engine for Linux and UNIX. The project is designed to handle credit card authorizations and is certified to support major clearing house protocols.
Features include support for multiple modems, multiple merchant accounts, and multiple processors, all simultaneously -- as well as IP and SSL connectivity along side SQL database support.
Designed in C, conforming to POSIX standards, and utilizing light weight processes (threads), this product is able to handle a large number of transactions with high speed and minimal CPU usage.
Enhancements:
- A secure recurring billing module and card storage subsystem returning unique tracking tokens has been added and branded as Monetra DSS.
- This assists integrators with their PCI compliance so they dont need to store card numbers outside of Monetra.
- There is DNS caching for improved latency.
- Givex and FifthThrid 610 support have been added.
- Global Payments, VITAL, and NPC re-certifications.
- Visa gift-card support (balance inquiry and partial auths), as well as new card systems compliance updates for October 2007.
- Mac OS X for Intel, Windows Vista, and OpenBSD 4.0 support has also been added.

IzPack is an installers generator for the Java platform. IzPack project produces lightweight installers that can be run on any operating system where a Java virtual machine is available.
Depending on the operating system, it can be launched by a double-click or a simple java -jar installer.jar on a shell. The most common use is to distribute applications for the Java platform, but you can also use it for other kinds of projects.
The main benefit of IzPack is that it provides a clean and unique way of distributing a project to users using different operating systems.
A big care has been put in making IzPack as small as possible in order to reduce the weight of IzPack itself in the final installer archive. Also, IzPack has been designed around modularity and flexibility.
As a consequence, you are able to specify how your installer should be by selecting the panels that you want to show to the final user. Sometimes there are even several panels for the same usage so that you can pick the one that suits the best your needs.
If ever you dont find your way through the available panels, you can still develop your own ones with the nice and easy IzPack API. Theres even an embedded XML parser !
Main features:
- XML-based installer descriptors
- Uses the maximum Jar archives compression level
- Jakarta Ant integration
- Great flexibility and modularity, it is very easy to extend IzPack
- No native code is required, but you can extend IzPack with native code
- Shortcuts creation system
- Flexible and powerful user input panel
- Automatic uninstaller creation
- Easy localization with XML langpacks: 16 langpacks are provided by default
- Variable substitution system
- OS-specific scripts interaction
Enhancements:
- This is a normal maintenance release containing various bugfixes and translation updates.
- Vista/Java 6 compatibility has been enhanced.
