Linux in Education: Two Years Later
by Peter D. St. Onge (mailto:peteseul.org)
Section: Editorials
Saturday, August 17th 2002 00:00

About two years ago, Doug Loss and I from the Simple End User Linux
Project (SEUL.org) wrote an editorial about the state of Linux in schools.
In the intervening time, much has happened, both inside and outside the
Linux/Free Software community, and in this editorial, I revisit the state
of Linux in terms of its use both as infrastructure and on the desktop. I
conclude by examining some of the non-technical issues impinging on the
periphery where I feel work needs to be done to make it an even more
compelling choice.

[002] - Aapl C++ Template Library 2.5.3
  by Adrian Thurston (http://freshmeat.net/users/age/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 20:27

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Aapl is a C++ template library for generic programming. It contains
Linked List, Avl Tree, Vector, Binary Search Table, Double Ended Queue,
and Merge Sort. The library is designed to be versatile for the
programmer. For example, the linked list utilizes both inheritance and
templates to allow a single instance of a data structure to be an element
in multiple lists. In general, Aapl data structures do not have private
data members and are thus not abstracted away.

Changes: User documentation for most classes was written.

[005] - Atomic Photo Album 1.0.2 (Stable)
  by ChArChI (http://freshmeat.net/users/charchi/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 15:32

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: APA is a PHP/MySQL photo album with the ability to dynamically add
and remove photos. It also features users, comments, themes support, a
search engine, an unlimited number of albums, an admin section, and
multilanguage support.

Changes: This release adds a new better looking default theme, support for
multiple thumbnails display per line and column, and an option to show the
rendering time of pages. A bug was fixed which prevented the shell scripts
to create thumbnails and smaller photos when their is a space in their
filenames. Another bug was fixed that prevented APA from displaying the
previous and next thumbnail of a photo when there is a space in its
filename. Fixed bugs in the admin panel. Bugs were also fixed in the
anti-flood count limitation and the search engine.

  by Crah the Merciless (http://freshmeat.net/users/wsymerlcom/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 04:55

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Text Processing :: Filters

About: CRM is a very powerful filtering and mutilation language based on
regex operations. It is capable of classifying mail messages, syslogs,
firewall logs, and other incoming streams of unbounded length. It has a
very powerful sparse-spectral learning capability; given examples of
multiple classes (say, business email, jokes, and spam), it can learn to
discriminate the classes.

Changes: This release contains the long-awaited sparse spectral mail
filter, which is a learning filter based on Bayesian classification of
phrases. It allows users to submit things they consider "blacklist",
"whitelist", "spam", and "nonspam" just by mailing to themselves with a
control password. Baseline setup files are included for user mode
installation. Additional functionality and an embarrassingly large number
of bugfixes are other bonuses.

[010] - cvsfs 1.1.0
  by pfrank (http://freshmeat.net/users/petric/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 23:41

Software Development :: Version Control :: CVS
System :: Filesystems

About: cvsfs is an attempt to let a user mount a CVS project like any file
system. It allows you to navigate and browse through a project tree. No
preparations are required on the CVS server side.

Changes: A major rewrite of the kernel module and the utilities was made.
All network access was moved to a user space daemon, making extending and
debugging easier. It would be possible to add other file system sources
such as CVS over SSL in addition to the supported CVS pserver method. All
files read from the CVS server are now cached on the local disk, and cvsfs
gives read only access to the CVS repository. You can also direct programs
like 'ls' or 'cat' to retrieve a specific version of a file from the CVS
server.

[015] - empy 1.2
  by Eleventh Hour (http://freshmeat.net/users/xihr/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 02:34

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: empy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in
template text (or any other unexecuted content); it takes source files,
processes them, and produces output. These are done via expansions, which
are snippets of Python code delimited by character sequences involving a
special prefix (by default the at sign, ''), and are substituted in the
output with the return value (for expressions) or with any in-Python
printing to stdout that takes place (for both expressions and statements).
If the value of an evaluated expression is None, nothing is expanded (that
is, it acts like the interactive Python interpreter). Textual data not
explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output file,
allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Explicit
expansion, or inclusion of other files to be expanded, is possible. Also
supported are m4-style diversions, where output can be systematically
deferred and recalled, as well as "significators," which are special
assignments forms intended to be easily parsed externally.

Changes: Bang paths are now treated as comments, 'empy.quote' does the
opposite of 'empy.expand', significators ('%' sequences) are supported, a
'-I' option was added, and the documentation was improved.

[016] - fblogo 0.5.0 (Development)
  by Gordon Fraser (http://freshmeat.net/users/mrgordie/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 11:37

Multimedia :: Graphics

About: fblogo will let you replace the penguin boot-logo you see when
booting Linux kernels with framebuffer support. It takes a PNG image as
input and generates an appropriate linux_logo.h, which can simply be
included in the kernel. It will be displayed when the framebuffer device
is enabled. You can also use it to generate full screen splash screens for
the Linux Progress Patch.

Changes: This release adds numerous cleanups and bugfixes. It introduces a
shell script that automatically creates a kernel patch given a logo header
file and a Linux kernel source tree. The documentation has been updated.

[017] - FIAIF is an Intelligent Firewall 1.1.5-1
  by Anders Fugmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/fugmann/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 11:25

System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: FIAIF is an Intelligent Firewall. It provides a highly customizable
script for setting up an iptables-based firewall. Configuration is done
through one configuration file for each network to which the firewall is
connected. FIAIF supports masquerading, port forwarding, traffic shaping,
and more.

Changes: This version now correctly sets TOS on packets originating from
the firewall itself. SNAT has been improved to cycle between all available
IPs on the interface. To ease debugging, the filename of the zone is now
displayed if an undefined zone is encountered. Traffic shaping can now be
started and stopped separately, ignoring the "ENABLE_TC" parameter in the
global configuration file.

System :: Networking

About: Firestarter is a firewall tool for Linux, and uses GNOME. You can
use the wizard to create a basic firewall, then streamline it further
using the dynamic rules. You can open and close ports with a few clicks,
or stealth your services giving access only to a select few. It features a
real-time hit monitor which you can watch as attackers probe your machine
for open ports.

Changes: This is the first GNOME 2.0 version of Firestarter. It features a
completely new user interface, in-depth traffic inspection, new filtering
options, a new manual, and many other improvements.

  by Sean MacLennan (http://freshmeat.net/users/smaclennan/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 15:33

Internet

About: GoFish is a very simple gopher server. It is designed with security
and low resource usage in mind, and uses a single process that handles all
the connections. This provides low-resource usage, good latency, and good
scalability. It also runs in a chroot environment. While GoFish must run
at root privilege to be able to use port 70, it drops to a normal user
while accessing files.

[021] - GRAB 1.0.5

  Saturday, August 17th 2002 20:30

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Security
System :: Software Distribution Tools

About: GRAB (Greg's RPM Application Builder) adds functionality and
ease-of-use to RPM, by allowing a user to search through a collection of
RPMs on various FTP servers (given in a configuration file), and download
and install all in one action. It can perform system upgrades, and display
all packages that are "outdated". It also has the ability to be run
through cron, to automatically upgrade all packages (except ones defined
in a skip list) that are available. This project began to provide similiar
functionality to RPM based distros as apt-get (Debian package tool). Apt
has since been ported to RPM. GRAB's functionality now is still fairly
similar, but also provides additional features that makes it easier to use
and more intuitive. It can also work with any FTP server, as opposed to a
specifically configured RPM repository server.

Changes: A fix for a bug in the dep resolver regarding '::' chars found in
the current Rawhide, a fix for a problem with regard to the proxy support,
fixes for other misc dependancy resolution bugs., a new alt. library path
for rare old Red Hat libnet issues, changing --clean to only clean old
RPMs and --cleanall to remove everything, and support to take more then
one option to the --status arg.

  by Lawrence Glaister VE7IT (http://freshmeat.net/users/lglaister/)
  Saturday, August 17th 2002 02:32

Desktop Environment :: Gnome

About: Gspy retrieves images from a video4linux device and processes these
into a daily MPEG movie on the disk drive. Each image is recorded with a
time stamp to ensure accurate real-world correlation. Special motion
detection algorithms are used to reduce the size of the daily movies by
eliminating pictures with similar content as well as the normal
compression obtained by the mpeg process. The result is a time lapse video
per day with nonlinear time compression using only the images of interest.

Changes: Added a config option to suppress the target box in images, and a
user definable command that gets executed on alarms.

  Saturday, August 17th 2002 11:21

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Archiving
System :: Systems Administration

About: Krusader is an "old-school" file manager. Its twin-panel look
follows in the footsteps of the great file managers of old such as GNU's
Midnight Commander© and the Norton Commander© for DOS. Krusader features
an intuitive GUI, complete drag n' drop capability, transparent handling
of archives, mimetype support, and more.

Changes: This release adds batch renaming support via Krename and a new
internal editor and viewer. The commandline can now be used to "cd" into
konqi-supported URLs. Crashes on konfigurator opening and right-click menu
use were fixed, as was the crash on FAM-enabled systems. Various GUI bugs
that came with KDE3 porting are gone (but so are the mouse selection
modes) and sorting problems in the panels are no more.

articles downloaded already. Transfer rates are updated less often to
avoid flicker.

Security
System :: Monitoring

About: ProSum is a terminal based program that protects your files,
sys_call_table, and IDT in a Tripwire-like way (all in user space, without

at any secure/bastion host to later replace them. You can disable
sys_call_table and IDT support for non-Linux systems. ProSum can run on
any UNIX system with file protect mode (without IDT and sys_call_table
support).

Changes: This release is more portable; it compiles on SunOS/Solaris,
*BSD, and Linux. It has been translated to Spanish. File Protection now
works.

About: rST (remote SmallTalk) is a framework for supporting distributed
Squeak objects. The main goal of the project is transparency, so you don't
need to change your objects to become remote. Another goal is to handle
intermittence in the availability of the images, so PDA and Notebooks can
interoperate in a distributed environment. Each object decides to pass "as
copy" or "as reference"; in the default implementation all objects pass
"by reference" except Booleans, String, Character, Number, and
UndefinedObject.
