Free your restaurant software for linux

Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with the steps necessary to build your own custom Linux system.
There are a lot of reasons why somebody would want to install an LFS system. The question most people raise is "why go through all the hassle of manually installing a Linux system from scratch when you can just download an existing distribution?". That is a valid question which I hope to answer for you.
The most important reason for LFSs existence is teaching people how a Linux system works internally. Building an LFS system teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together, and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own taste and needs.
One of the key benefits of LFS is that you are in control over your system without having to rely on somebody elses Linux implementation. You are in the drivers seat now and are able to dictate every single thing such as the directory layout and boot script setup. You will also know exactly where, why and how programs are installed.
Another benefit of LFS is that you can create a very compact Linux system. When you install a regular distribution, you end up installing a lot of programs you probably would never use. Theyre just sitting there taking up (precious) disk space. Its not hard to get an LFS system installed under 100 MB. Does that still sound like a lot? A few of us have been working on creating a very small embedded LFS system. We installed a system that was just enough to run the Apache web server; total disk space usage was aproximately 8 MB. With further stripping, that can be brought down to 5 MB or less. Try that with a regular distribution.
If we were to compare a Linux distribution with a hamburger you buy at a supermarket or fast-food restaurant, you would end up eating it without knowing precisely what it is you are eating, whereas LFS gives you the ingredients to make a hamburger. This allows you to carefully inspect it, remove unwanted ingredients, and at the same time allow you to add ingredients to enhance the flavour of your hamburger. When you are satisfied with the ingredients, you go on to the next part of putting it together. You now have the chance to make it just the way you like it: broil it, bake it, deep-fry it, barbeque it, or eat it raw.
Another analogy that we can use is that of comparing LFS with a finished house. LFS will give you the skeleton of a house, but its up to you to install plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen, bathtub, wallpaper, etc.
Another advantage of a custom built Linux system is added security. You will compile the entire system from source, thus allowing you to audit everything, if you wish to do so, and apply all the security patches you want or need to apply. You dont have to wait for somebody else to provide a new binary package that fixes a security hole. Besides, you have no guarantee that the new package actually fixes the problem (adequately). You never truly know whether a security hole is fixed or not unless you do it yourself.
Enhancements:
- The LFS LiveCD Team is proud to announce the release of the x86-6.2-3 version of LFS LiveCD. This version is built using LFS 6.2 and many Beyond Linux From Scratch packages from the Subversion branch. Source packages for LFS 6.2, and the LFS book itself, are included on the live CD. The CD is also suitable as a host for building x86 and x86_64 Cross LFS systems. Other features and bugfixes: the CD supports hibernation; the CD file system can be written to; the CD contains a visually pleasing and easy-to-use window manager, XFce...

Meeting Room Booking System (MRBS) is a free, GPL, web application using PHP and MySQL/pgsql for booking meeting rooms. This project is similar in concept to Netscape Calendar, but much cheaper!
Main features:
- Web/Intranet based - Available from any workstation through a Browser

MRBS is very reliable at this point. All the features that are needed in day-to-day operation are included. Its very intuitive for users, so very little or no instruction is needed. It is in production use at many large organisations around the world for uses as diverse as its originally intended meeting rooms to restaurant tables and aeroplanes at a flying school!
Different languages are supported, there are translations for many languages available (currently Czech, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish). If your language is not supported it is very easy to customize as all strings are stored in language-specific files.
Enhancements:
- Extra options were added to the LDAP authentication scheme.
- You can now configure the cookie path used by the cookie and PHP session schemes.

LambdaRogue is a rogue-like role playing game set in the future of a somehow "parallel world" to our own.
People had to go underground to survive a war between human society and the once peaceful DrakhNar, another species on the planet. People founded the NeoTerr nation and tried to build up a prosperous civilization.
This worked, until suddenly strange creatures came down the Great River Styx. The river has now become a source of fear and terror. The player has to follow the river through NeoTerr and discover the reason. The atmosphere is rather strange, influcenced by phantasy and cyberpunk.
Enhancements:
- HP does not autoregenrate any longer.
- This makes the game more difficult.
- Monsters are able to do long-range attacks.
- There are three new trader types (hospital, restaurant, and academy).
- There are many UI improvements and bugfixes.
