Free worry box software for linux

Dirty Sand Box (DSBapp) is a Web-administered, flat-file, Perl portal.
It comes complete with forums, articles, links, download sections, classifieds ads, an image gallery, surveys, messaging, a POP3 mail client, and much more.
Each member profile has its own guest book and user image gallery.
Enhancements:
- A major overhaul was done.
- Perls CGI module (cgi.pm) is now used for all URL and form parsing. An auction, an e-cart, e-cards, subcategories for links and downloads sections, and preview images for downloads were added.
- More security features were added.

OST-Box is (yet another) set-top box program. OST-Boxs goal is to give an easy access to all kind of media and to be easy to extend.
It has an open design : The program itself is mainly a xml/javascript browser. Also, most content is provided via small perl scripts, which are easier to tune to your needs.
Xml introduce a distinction between the interface and the code.
Javascript is a powerfull language when it comes to write lots of simple functionnality.
Perl is very usefull to gather all kind of information (MP3 titles, TV program, detect system configuration, meteo, ...)
Main features:
- Browsing photo collection, with thumbs, zoom, rotations
- Play video clip within your photo collection (with mplayer installed)
- Browsing videos recorded from TV and start them with mplayer...
- Control from a lirc remote is working. Youll have to adjust interface/map.xml to configure your remote key.
- OST-box has multiple language support. Currently, english and french are available.
- It should be easy to add a new language. Have a look into src/interface/ostbox-i18n.xml if you want to help !

Roster-in-a-Box project is a course management system designed to facilitate the use of autograded homework assignments, while also allowing for text-based questions to be submitted online and graded online by the instructor. I developed and currently use the system for my introductory statistics and microeconomics courses at Long Island University, and I have had it in production since 2005. While you will be able to break the program if you try hard enough, it is stable and very much ready for use.
I wrote the program because I wanted something simpler than Moodle (and also because my school was not supporting Moodle at the time that I started the project). I love Moodle, and Moodle may be right for you, but it wasnt right for me, because I didnt want the course management system to take over my course web site. Basically, Roster-in-a-Box handles the homework and grading functions with a couple of web pages and leaves you on your own to design the rest of your course web site. That may or may not be what you want.
It should be quite simple to take my statistics modules (and the forthcoming microeconomics modules that I just havent gotten around to packaging) and get your own introductory statistics course up in no time. It is also quite simple to set up a course that consists of only text-based, manually-graded questions. On the other hand, if you want to write auto-graded assignments for some other purpose, you will have to know how to code them yourself. The structure of the modules should be somewhat self-explanatory to experienced programmers, but is probably daunting to those who do not know how to code. The entire program is written in PHP, and uses MySQL as a back-end database.
Version restrictions:
- There are things you could do while editing the assignment list that would leave it in an inconsistent state. For example, if you leave a page open, then open up a different page and make edits in that page, and then go back to the first page and save your changes, you may screw things up. I will get around to fixing this problem at some point, but in the mean time try not to do things like that.
- The program uses the PHP session variable, which by default times out after 24 minutes (supposedly due to security concerns). You should bug the web site administrator to lengthen the PHP system setting session.gc_maxlifetime to be as long as possible.
- By default, the system resets to the Spring semester on January 1st, the Summmer semester on May 15th, and the Fall semester on September 1st. I should probably make these dates editable somewhere in site_settings.php, but instead youll have to dig through administer.php and homework.php if you want to change them.
Enhancements:
- This has been used in a production environment for two years now, but the code has never been released.

Shut The Box project is a simple diversion written in C and GTK+. The object is simple: roll the dice and click the tiles that sum up to that dice roll until there are no more tiles to click.

Shut The Box is based off of those little wooden puzzles with dice and tiles. My first exposure was playing this as a BBS Door on a BBS my friend ran.

The concept was simple enough so I tried writing it for my own Atari BBS (with the help of another more experienced SysOp).

After I took the BBS offline, the game concept grew from an idea into a sort of “Hello World” application I’d write in order to become more familiar with a language. Hence, this is my “Hello World” for GTK+, although I have several other applications brewing in GTK+.

media-box is a program to watch all kind of multimedia files using a computer.
It suports playing DVD video, VideoCD, various movie files, Audio CD, various music files and watching various still pictures.
Main goal of this project is to have a dedicated computer in your living room by replacing your Hi-Fi component (DVD-player, CD-player). media-box runs in a linux environment so the need for computer power is very low.
Prefered system is a computer with at least 466MHz Celeron with 128MB of ram. Disk space is minimal, it works on 1GB partition but it can sure fit on a partition of 150MB or even less.
As it considers the sound output it is considered to have a sound card with digital out capabilities, so you can easily connect your computer with a dedicated external Dolby Digital receiver, but this is optional.
Graphics card should have a TV-Out feature, so you can watch your media content on TV. For getting the remote control over the whole program, you should make a hardware receiver or you can even buy one. Just make sure it is lirc compatible.
Software used to make this hardware work:
- debian - linux distribution
- xine-lib - library to play media content
- ati.2 - ATI drivers for XFree86 4.2.1 - to get TVOut working
- alsa - SB Live! drivers to get digital out sound
- lirc - remote control software
Enhancements:
- created upgrade script so on pressing n in main window will start an upgrade
- fixed start.sh script to use the /media-box/XF86Config-4 file
- size of screen is now calculated from the width and height of the back.jpg picture (was fixed to 800x600) - beware tvout works only on 800x600.
- fixed background of movie so it is black now. Subtitles of new xine lib displayed background image.
- added new types of files to play (based on extension)
- audio
- aac
- mp4
