Free workstation ergonomics software for linux

CrystalAudio is a FVWM-Crystal configuration tuned for use on an audio workstation. It has many new applications for the menu, including many sound-related applications and improved sound controls. The project launches qjackctl at startup.
The final goal of the project is to make the FVWM-Crystal menu compatible with the freedesktop specification and to provide some tools to generate the menu entries and icons from desktop and icon files provided by the applications in the system.
Enhancements:
- generate-fvwm-crystal-menu work with both new and old type application desktop files, so it is time for the 2.0 version.
- A lot of debugging have been done on that script: See the ChangeLog for the details.
- Added support for stalonetray in all the recipes.

Wolvix is a desktop oriented distribution made to fit the needs from regular to advanced desktop users.
This edition is meant to be a portable audio & video ripping/encoding and editing OS, without DRM and rootkit problems or worries. I guess you can say Sony inspired me somewhat to create this edition.
Media Edition features lots of audio and video software and it also has most of the applications you need for daily tasks: Web browser, IM client, word processor, spreadsheet, graphics manipulation tools, etc.
In this edition you will find some of the many great multimedia applications available for GNU/Linux. You get: CD rippers/encoders; audio editors; a digital audio workstation; an audio mastering program; DVD rippers/encoders; a DVD authoring program; video editors; a movie studio program; TV tuner programs; GUI front ends for portable audio devices; and of course various music and multimedia players.
In addition to the Xfce4 Desktop Environment, Media Edition features the Fluxbox Window Manager.

KAppfinder searches your workstation for many common applications and creates menu entries for them.

This package is part of KDE, and a component of the KDE base module. See the kde and kdebase packages for more information.

Installation:

You need to install klik on your system to run cmg applications.

Press Alt-F2 and paste:

wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh

Phrealon is a bootable linux CD based on Slackware Linux 8.0 (now 9.0)designed to allow the easy imaging of multiple workstations.

It utilizes the udpcast set of Linux tools to accomplish this.

Small daemon to locate which ip is using pop3 to which server with which username
It was made to figure out which users is using which IP/workstation.

These are the valid options for using the application:
-i interface Which interface to listen to, i.e. eth0
-l logfile If you want to run more than one of these, you must use a separate logfile for each device! Default is /var/log/pop_usage.db
-p Turn off promiscous mode sniffing
-U username/UID User to run as, this is for the paranoid penguins.
Socket will be opened before we try to setuid ourselves.
-C /path Path we should chroot to, also for the paranoid penguins.
!NB! - logfile is openeded every 5 minutes, so remember to
specify a logfile thats relative to the jail!

OpenKiosk is an open-source multi-platform kiosk system designed for use in libraries, offices, schools, internet cafes, airports, conference rooms, and more!

Openkiosk aims to be one of the best kiosk software available in the open-souce community. The following prototype screenshots of the OpenKiosk client reflects its evolution towards the goal of acheiving simplicity and elegance in kiosk terminals.

OpenKiosk, is a system made up of a collection of programs that work together in a local network of inter-connected computers. It is a centralized management software for kiosks. It assumes that the resources are shared and centralized as well, including the Internet connection. This implies that the shared Internet connection to the outside world is assumed to be always on at some point within the local network, perhaps a NAT server. It is up to the client program to automatically limit customers individually from accessing the Internet.

When a customer walks in and uses a kiosk or a workstation, the client program obtains his/her login/user account information. It then sends this login information to the server, which in turn, verifies this data and if valid, returns the access rights and duration of use for the customer back to the client program.

The client program at this point, handles the restrictions transparently including preventing running new programs and making it appear that the Internet connection is down if the time limit is reached or if the administrator manually stopped a customer from continuing to use a kiosk/workstation.

OpenKiosk is primarily designed with the multi-user network in mind. From a library containing 20 public browsing terminals to a large internet cafe or convention center containing hundreds to thousands of kiosks or workstations, OpenKiosk is built with components that are designed to scale up. It is not meant to be used on a single stand-alone computer

The Openkiosk system is basically composed of two parts. The first program is called NodeView. It acts as the OpenKiosk central server containing the client information database. It is responsible for administering all the clients on the network either automatically or manually. Monitoring and controlling the workstations can be done locally via the graphical user interfaces or remotely from a Java Applet in a browser.

The second part is simply called "The Client". It is the actual program that sits between the customer and the operating system interface on the workstations. It is the software which physically limits the users access to the Internet, network resources, the local programs on the workstation itself.

For automatic usage, it can take in membership card login. It is also possible to interface to much more advanced hardware readers such as smart card readers. The client is also capable of simple but important tasks such as remote shutdown, instant messaging, file updates and much more.

Presently, there are two versions of clients. The X11 Linux/Unix version, which is an applet that sits on top of the KDE panel (requires at least KDE 3.X) and the Windows version (Windows 95,98,NT,2000,XP).
