Free western digital software for linux

Free Digital Money projetc is aimed at promoting ideas and stimulating further innovation in the field of digital bearer money.
Digital bearer money is like cash and can be transferred person-to-person without going through a bank or PayPal account.
Scope
The scope of this project is necessarily limited; digital bearer money schemes are difficult to implement.
The project will develop and release a Digital Money system and applications, suitable for teaching and idea-testing.
The current release (V0.2) delivers a basic digital PGP-based coin system.
The next release will provide a transport mechanism to send the coins to an intended recipient; and a client application (a Wallet).
How You Can Help
We welcome technical help in a variety of forms:
- Application writers and visionaries: to use the FreeDMoney software to experiment with new ideas
- Coders: to extend the current software or to implement a completely new payment system
- Vendors of existing digital payment schemes: to implement a FDM interface to their code
Educational Usage
Students (and others) are welcome and encouraged to use FreeDMoney as a basis for discussing other considerations of building a secure payment systems.
Examples:
- What technical peer-review process would be required to be confident in the security of the system?
- What are the limitations in the model that would need to be overcome in order to make this into a technically sound basis for a real-world, real-value payment system?
- Assuming these limitations had been overcome, what operational considerations would need to be addressed to deliver a secure, reliable payment system?
- How do existing payment systems address these issues?
What legal and regulatory issues would need to be addressed in the target jurisdictions?
Enhancements:
- Initial Coin implementation and "test bank" Web application.

RJBs Digital Media Center is a music player.
RJBs Digital Music Center is designed to run on dedicated hardware. Because of this. It running as root. Very dangerous. Other than grabbing the X display and calling stop and halt scripts. It should be able to run as a non-root user. I will look into this on future releases.
Install steps:
(1) Install Nvidia Graphics Card.
(2) Plug X10 or IRMan control module into Com1.
(3) Connect Computer to Television
(4) Install RedHat 9.0
(5) During RedHat install select "Server Install"
(5) During package selection
(a) Select The Following Packages
X Window System
Sound and Video
Windows File Server
Development Tools
X Software Development
(b) De-Select The Following Packages
Printing Support
Text Based internet
Server Configuration Tools
Web Server
Administration Tools
(6) Identify or Create a directory for your Media files.
mkdir /usr/local/Media
Would be a good choice. The install script will ask and expect this path to exist. It will create a symbolic link to it. Also create symbolic link inside to for Cdrom to /mnt/cdrom
(7) As root UnZip/Tar the DMC release in /usr/local
cd /usr/local
tar zxvf dmc-releaseV2.0.tgz.tgz
(8) If your System is a HP DEC then you need to copy from the original HP disk the binary decvfdcmd.
cp /opt/odin/dec/bin/decvfdcmd /tmp
This binary controls the front LCD display.
The install script will ask for this path.
(9) As root run the DMC Install Script.
cd /usr/local/dmc/bin
./Install.sh
(10) Answer questions and follow instructions
(11) Good Luck!

Fedora Digital Object Repository is an open source software which gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects.
Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies.
This unique combination of features makes Fedora an attractive solution in a variety of domains. Some examples of applications that are built upon Fedora include library collections management, multimedia authoring systems, archival repositories, institutional repositories, and digital libraries for education.
Enhancements:
- This is a significant release of Fedora that includes a complete repackaging as a proper Web application.
- A new installer application makes it easy to setup and run.
- It now uses Servlet Filters for authentication.
- The Fedora repository can also be configured to calculate and store checksums for content.
- The RDF-based Resource Index has been tuned for better performance.
- A new high-performing RDBMS-backed triplestore has been developed that can now be plugged into the RI.

GNUdap is a project to build a userspace driver to interface Linux with proprietary-protocol USB MP3 players and mass storage devices. Currently GNUdap supports the CHIC MP10, CHIC MP30, CHIC Symphony from "Perstel,Inc." and the NGS Jogger from the NGS Technology.
GNUdap is also an experiment to test the advantages of a strongly-typed programming language and of the functional programming paradigm in hardware developing. In fact GNUdap is developed using the Objective Caml programming language.
To access the devices, we use camlusb, an ocaml binding to libusb, wich is an library which works in userspace to access usb devices.
A shell, which supports the main features of the player, is provided. Besides being done for linux, unlike the original program provided with the MP10, this software is interesting because it has additional features (like being able to transfer mp3s directly to the pc, and to change the playable status of a file on the DAP), not present in the official one. A graphical frontend and a filesystem interface are planned.
To find more informations about the protocol, the driver and the shell visit the Documentation Page
Enhancements:
- chic.sh: Corrected the DIR variable
- added documentation

CoverHunter will scan your digital music albums and try to get the cover image for each one.

If more than one cover was found, you can choose which one will be set as the cover for that album. These covers are usable for XMMS, KDE, GNOME, etc.
