About: Bluewhite64 Linux is an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to the
AMD-64/EM64T architectures. It runs on 64-bit AMD Athlon, Opteron,
Sempron, and Intel EM64T (Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology) based
servers and computers. The goal of this port is to mimic the user
experience of the Intel x86 distribution at its best. This port includes
the same software and configuration scripts found in slackware-current
tree.
Changes: Many packages have been updated and new features added. Updated
packages that fix one or more possible security issues were merged. The
kernel has been updated to version 2.6.24 including tickless system
support, birtualization, more wireless drivers, and much more. Other
important inclusions are KDE 3.5.8 in 65 languages, the MPlayer 1.0rc2
media player, and ALICE with six GUI managers, which will help you to
easily manage different system settings.

Jmol, or by using a Web browser.
Changes: The HTML pages have a new style and contain MicroFormat data.
Many French translations have been added and Spanish translations are also
available. New structures (like carbohydrates) have been added. The project
now includes 559 structures.

by Izzy (http://freshmeat.net/users/izzysoft/)
Tue, Feb 5th 2008 03:05
Database
About: DBAHelper is a collection of scripts to ease the daily maintenance
work of Oracle database administrators. Examples are moving objects
between tablespaces, analyzing schemata, and rebuilding invalid indices.
Also included is a little framework to simplify the use of RMAN (this
framework depends on the use of Oracle 10g with the Recovery Area enabled
and properly sized, so all backups go there).
Changes: Changes in this version include a new "move_fra" command (to move
the recovery area to a new location), an "--all" option for the
"backup_daily" command (to support hosts with multiple databases more
easily), and enhancements to the "create_standby" command (copying backups
to a standby host using SCP, checking database status, and optionally
starting up databases).

Tue, Feb 5th 2008 03:10
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Text Processing
About: Ocrad is the GNU OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program,
implemented as a filter and based on a feature extraction method. It reads
images in pbm (bitmap), pgm (greyscale), or ppm (color) formats and
produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats. It also includes a layout
analyzer that is able to separate the columns or blocks of text normally
found on printed pages. Ocrad can be used as a stand-alone console
application, or as a backend to other programs.
Changes: The layout analyzer is now able to separate blocks of text of
arbitrary shape as long as they are clearly delimited by white space. The
"--layout" option no longer accepts an argument. A bug that didn't write
maxval when saving pgm or ppm files has been fixed. Arg_parser has been
updated to 1.1.

[023] - Gujin 2.4
by Etienne (http://freshmeat.net/users/etiennelorrain/)
Tue, Feb 5th 2008 14:29
System :: Boot :: Init
About: Gujin is a PC boot loader that can analyze your partitions and
filesystems. It finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other
bootable partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), files (*.kgz) and
bootable disk images (*.bdi), and displays a graphical menu for selecting
which system to boot. It boots the Linux kernel using the documented
interface, like LILO and GRUB, so it doesn't need any other pre-installed
bootloader. It can also directly load gzipped ELF32 or ELF64 files, with a
simple interface to collect real-mode BIOS data. There is no need to
execute anything after making a new kernel: just copy the kernel image
file into the "/boot" directory, with a standard name. Gujin is written
almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in real mode to be as
compatible as possible.
Changes: This version fix the problem with booting kernels after Linux
2.6.22. It can also install the second stage inside a filesystem
(contigous file, no RAID supported) simply by: "instboot boot.bin
/boot/gujin.ebios". It moves DBG messages into the "xdata" segment to stop
"stack overflow" messages in debug executables, adds confirmation before
restoration of MBR and partition table from backup, and adds a small
executable "gujin-cmdline" to edit the "embedded command line" of vmlinuz
files.

Games/Entertainment
Internet
About: LinuxConsole can be started from CD/DVD, Hard disk, floppy disk,
USB disk, or network card (PXE). The 'console' word doesn't mean that it
is started in 'console' mode, but is meant to symbolize the simplicity of
using it. This distribution is as simple to use as a games console: you
can start applications without installing them. It is a live CD, and all
hardware should be auto-configured at first boot. LinuxConsole is modular:
there is a common base (device detection, GUI) and optional modules for
multimedia, communication, and servers.

Tue, Feb 5th 2008 10:22
Communications
Desktop Environment
Software Development
About: NoMachine NX is a fast terminal server and desktop virtualization
system based on the X11 protocol. NX is an order of magnitude faster than
VNC or X11 and can run on bandwidth as narrow as 10 kBit/sec. In addition,
NX translates and embeds the MS Windows Terminal Server and VNC protocols
into X/NX, enabling users to compress and accelerate remote Windows and
VNC sessions. The NX project provides a suite of libraries and X11
proxying agents implementing efficient compression and optimized transport
of X11, SMB, IPP, HTTP, and arbitrary protocols like audio and video over
the Internet.
Changes: This version solves possible deadlocks caused by both proxies
running out of tokens at the same time, which can provoke session
disconnection. Further problems that have been fixed are: copy and paste
from a Unix session into Windows applications may fail, some windows don't
stay on top when the X11 session is running in rootless mode, and the
window in the foreground may show content below when the rootless session
is running on Windows.

[036] - OpenDBX 1.3.5 (Development)
by Norbert Sendetzky (http://freshmeat.net/users/nsendetzky/)
Tue, Feb 5th 2008 02:56
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The OpenDBX libraries provide a unified and consistent API for
software developers to different database management systems. The C and
C++ libraries aim to implement access to the native database interfaces
efficiently via a thin abstraction layer. They consist of a basic set of
functions that are part of all vendor database libraries and can be
extended by additional function blocks. Currently, Firebird/Interbase, MS
SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite 2 and 3, and Sybase ASE are
supported.
Changes: This development release contains a prototype of an ODBC backend
for the OpenDBX database access library. It's not fully functional yet and
is missing the code for data retrieval but data definition and manipulation
statements work. Also, the code does compile cleanly if the latest GCC
compiler suite is used. The automake scripts were improved to add libdl
only to the core library and to make more clear what's missing if header
files or libraries are missing. Minor fixes were applied to the
documentation.

Security
System :: Monitoring
About: Prelude-Manager is a high-availability server that collects and
normalizes information from distributed Prelude-IDS sensors and stores
them in a database (or any kind of user-provided media). It is part of
Prelude, a hybrid Intrusion Detection framework implementing an open
communication layer for use by any security application. Prelude-Manager
also provide the ability to relay received events to one or several other
prelude-manager servers and allows users to filter received events so they
can provide specific actions for specific events. Support for filtering
plugins allows users to hook into different places in the Manager to
define custom criteria for alert relaying and logging.
Changes: This release fixed a problem where when many messages are
processed, heartbeat emission could be delayed. The scheduler is now more
fair when certain message priorities are not available for processing and
a messages with the same priority are now processed in the correct order
when disk buffers are used. Corrupted disk buffers are now detected. New
sched-priority and sched-buffer-size configuration options were provided.
An issue where the multiple relaying plugin instance would only forward
messages to a single Manager was fixed
