Free xen 2.0 software for linux

xremote is a tool for grabbing mouse and keyboard of another display.

It creates a form of remote control of other machines. All mouse- and keyboard-actions on the local machine are forwarded to the remote display.

Installation

xremote should be easy to compile and install if you are using the tar.gz. Just issue the following commands to configure, compile and install it:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

DTC-Xen is a Xen dom0 application and SOAP server (with authentication and SSL) through which a Domain Technologie Control (DTC) Web hosting panel can be connected to manage your VMs.
It supports remote start, shutdown, and destroy of your virtual machines, as well as SSH login in the physical console (with the ability to remotely change the SSH password).
DTC-Xen also displays CPU and network graphs that can be used to analyse the performance of your virtual machines.
Enhancements:
- There was a bug in the calculation of the MAC address when calling changeBSDKernel to be able to change the kernel between NORMAL and INSTALL.
- Its now resolved.
- Be sure also to update DTC to the latest CVS version.

XenMan is an intuitive GUI based Xen management tool covering all phases of the operational lifecycle.

XenMan should prove valuable to both Xen administrators and those seeking an introduction to Xen virtualization management.

When you start XenMan the first time, it will prompt you with a dialog box requesting you to specify.

Disk Location : The Doms can have disks supported by files in a file system. This is the directory where the disks for the doms would get created. Choose a directory with enough disk space. (few GB)

Snapshot Location : Xen supports saving a state of a running Virtual Machine and restoring it at a later time. The snapshot location is default directory where snapshot of running virtual machines would be stored. Again, choose a directory with enough disk space.(few GBs)

The Jesktop project is a desktop system written in Java that can have GUI applications installed into it. It is semi-dependant upon NanoContainer which is a component framework at Codehaus. NanoContainer and Constructor Dependency Injection are going to change the way we think of Java based component computing.
Jesktop has been under construction since November 2000. Its team was founded by people building Williams Portable Java Environment (PJE) since early 2000.
- To have a fully functional Java desktop environment running on a fully functional Java operating system that is portable across a number of host operating systems, or if there is JDK support in a BIOS layer, without a host operating system.
- To have a single CD installation of Linux (or other Java capable OS) without its own applications, but with NanoContainer, Jesktop and many Java apps pre-configured.
- To see the Jesktop and NanoContainer used widely by Java enthusiasts and deployed on yet to be created Network appliances and palm sized devices (when palm sized devices support J2SE). Thats right, we see this running on small devices. The attraction to hardware manufactureres is obvious - a standard open source OS layer that can support multiple applications safely.
- To see thousands of GPL, MPL, SPL, Commercial etc. etc. apps runnable inside Jesktop. All will be hot installable, reinstallable and de-installable. No reboot/restart necessary. No questions asked.
Main features:
- Multiple GUI applications running inside the same virtual machine.
- Multiple server applications running inside the same virtual machine.
- Drag and drop between applications (to finish)
- Mime type associations for applications (to finish)
- Many built-in, bundled and ported applications.
- Plugable Window Managers.
- Hot installable applications. Hot deinstallable and reinstallable too.
- Externally skinable applications. Apps dont need their own skin logic.

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).

KCad is a screensaver for KDE 3, based on KCad 1.1 (a old screensaver for Kde 2.2). KCad is a KDE Control+Alt+Canc screensaver.

KCAD is a very simple screensaver for KDE. In fact, it may remind you of certain OTHER evil screensavers. This was designed so that you can "trick" your Boss (in the BOFH sense) into thinking that youre running Windows NT on your workstation/server, even if you are running (insert UNIX clone name here). By default, it looks very KDE-ish, but you can make it look more convincing by putting the following text into the file $HOME/.kde/share/config/kcad.kssrc.

Installation:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/kde --with-qt-includes=/path/to/qt-includes
make all
su
make install
exit


NOTE:
- KUbuntu prefix is /usr

xen-tools project is a collection of scripts which allow you to manipulate virtual images for the Xen virtualization software.
With the tools installed, you may create new instances of Debian, complete with networking, OpenSSH, and user accounts, with one simple command. Images may also be easily updated, listed, or deleted.
Main features:
- Create new Xen instances of Debian Sarge, in minutes. (xen-create-image)
- Duplicate an existing image, whilst updating the networking information. (xen-duplicate-image)
- List all existing images with their networking details (xen-list-images)
- Delete previously created instances. (xen-delete-image)
- Update the images youve created with apt-get, without booting them. (xen-update-image)
Creating A New Image:
The script will contains a full manual written using the perl documentation system, perldoc, which you can read by executing:
xen-create-image --manual
This manual describes the operation of the script, and the supported options. (Each of the available options may be setup in a configuration file for ease of use.)
As a very simple example the following command willcreate an image using DHCP to obtain its networking information. The primary disk will 2Gb with 128Mb memory and swap:
xen-create-image --hostname=vm01 --dir=/home/xen
--size=2Gb --swap=128Mb --memory=128Mb --dhcp
If you wish to give the instance a static IP address then provide the information with the following flags:
--ip
The IP address to give the instance.
--gateway
The IP address of the gateway machine.
--broadcast
The broadcast address to use.
--network
The network the image is upon.
--netmask
The netmask to use.
Enhancements:
- This release supports the installation of RPM-based distributions via the external rinse tool, which is more reliable than the rpmstrap utility.
- New guests will now have a random MAC address generated by default, to avoid issues with udev, and several other minor bugfixes were applied.
