 | BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming architecture can be built. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for translation between domain names and Internet addresses and is intended to be linked with applications requiring name service. |  |  |  | CVS is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system. CVS is useful for everyone from individual developers to large, distributed teams.Its client-server access method lets developers access the latest code from anywhere there's an Internet connection. Its unreserved check-out model to version control avoids artificial conflicts common with the exclusive check-out model.
|  |  |  | Eclipse is an open source software development project dedicated to providing a robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, industry platform for the development of highly integrated tools. It is composed of three projects, the Eclipse Project, the Eclipse Tools Project and the EclipseTechnology Project |  |  |  | FreeS/WAN (Linux) is an implementation of IPSEC (Internet Protocol SECurity). It uses strong cryptography to provide both authentication and encryption services. Authentication ensures that packets are from the right sender and have not been altered in transit. Encryption prevents unauthorised reading of packet contents.
These services allow you to build secure tunnels through untrusted networks. Everything passing through the untrusted net is encrypted by the IPSEC gateway machine and decrypted by the gateway at the other end. The result is Virtual Private Network or VPN. This is a network which is effectively private even though it includes machines at several different sites connected by the insecure Internet. |  |  |  | GNUstep is a free, standard, object-oriented, cross-platform development environment meant to provide generalized visual interface design, a cohesive user interface, and look good as well. GNUstep is based on and completely compatible with the OpenStep specification developed by NeXT (now Apple Computer Inc.). GNUstep also implements many additional classes and methods, some from the Cocoa API for the sake of compatibility. GNUstep is written in the object-oriented language "Objective-C", a superset of C which adds object-orientation to C. Objective-C is very simple, yet very powerful. GNUstep also includes bindings to other languages such as Java (JIGS) and Ruby (RIGS). |  |  |  | Gzip (Linux, Windows, Mac, Solaris) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement for compress. Its main advantages over compress are much better compression and freedom from patented algorithms. It has been adopted by the GNU project and is now relatively popular on the Internet. Gzip produces files with a .gz extension. gunzip can decompress files created by gzip, compress or pack. The detection of the input format is automatic. |  |  |  | Mambo Open Source is the finest open source Web Content Management System available today. Mambo Open Source makes communicating via the Web easy.With Mambo Open Source there is no need for HTML, XML or DHTML skills, just enter your content, add a picture and then through the easy to use administrator web-interface. |  |  |  | Midgard Framework is a flexible development environment for building content management systems and other internet-based applications. The Midgard Framework provides a powerful, object-oriented API for developing functionalities with the PHP language or SOAP interfaces.The Midgard Framework is a powerful toolkit for managing online information. Writing applications and functionalities to the platform is done using the easy-to-learn PHP scripting language. All interfacing with the system is done via a regular Web browser, and no special tools are needed for developers or content authors. |  |  |  | phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. Currently it can create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields. |  |  |  | Samba is essentially a TCP/IP file and print server for Microsoft Windows clients. In fact, it can support any SMB/CIFS-enabled client. One of Samba's big strengths is that you can use it to blend your mix of Windows and Linux machines together without requiring a separate Windows server. |  |  |  | Seven (7-Zip) (Windows, Linux) is a file archiver with high compression ratio. Supported formats: 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB. For ZIP and GZIP formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
Self-extracting capability for 7z format.
Integration with Windows Shell. Powerful File Manager. Powerful command line version. Plugin for FAR Manager. Localizations for 57 languages. |  |  |  | TightVNC (Linux, Windows) is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer. TightVNC is:
free, GPL-licensed, with full source code available;
useful in remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes;
cross-platform, available for Windows and Unix, compatible with other VNC software;
well maintained and being actively developed. |  |  |  | WC3 software is Open Source/ Free Software, and GPL compatible. See the license for details (and the following if you intend to contribute). Note that as this license is GPL compatible, it is possible to redistribute software based on W3C sources under a GPL license. |  |  |  | XEmacs is a highly customizable open source text editor and application development system. It is protected under the GNU Public License and related to other versions of Emacs, in particular GNU Emacs. Its emphasis is on modern graphical user interface support and an open software development model, similar to Linux. XEmacs has an active development community numbering in the hundreds, and runs on Windows 95 and NT, Linux and nearly every other version of Unix in existence. |  |  |  | XFree86 , provides a client/server interface between display hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized application interface (API). XFree86 is platform-independent, network-transparent and
extensible.
|  |  |  | Zebra manages TCP/IP based routing protocols. It is released as part of the GNU Project, and it is distributed under the GNU General Public License. It supports BGP-4 protocol as described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) as well as RIPv1, RIPv2 and OSPFv2. Unlike traditional, monolithic architectures and even the so-called "new modular architectures" that remove the burden of processing routing functions from the cpu and utilize special ASIC chips instead, Zebra software offers true modularity. |  |  |  |
