TigerWikiTigerWiki was a minimalist system written in PHP using the wiki base to easily build a framework of community sharing. Based on roWiki, it takes its basis while adding several functionalities such as password protection and the advanced management of pages history. Moreover, this free wiki software does not require MySQL to work. It was distributed under GNU General Public License.The development of TigerWiki was discontinued in September 2007. However, a fork was born shortly afterwards to create WiKiss, the official TigerWiki successor.

PhpWikiPhpWiki is wiki software written in PHP. The first version, by Steve Wainstead, was in December 1999 and was the first Wiki written in PHP to be publicly released.The first version ran under PHP 3.x and ran on DBM files only. It was a feature-for-feature reimplementation of the original WikiWikiWeb at c2.com.In early 2000 Arno Hollosi contributed a second database library to run PhpWiki on MySQL; from then on the features and contributions started to pile up, including a templating system, color diffs, rewrites of the rendering engine and much more. Arno was interested in running a wiki for the game Go. Dairiki would be the next major contributor, and would soon head the project for the next couple of years. His interest was in Hammond Organs, and runs a wiki for Hammonds: Urban,

MoinMoinMoinMoin is a wiki engine implemented in Python, initially based on the PikiPiki wiki engine. Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, MoinMoin is free software.The feature set of fine grained access control, simple user groups, GUI editor, easy install, simple but efficient spam protection, easy theming combined with a simple code base makes it often the wiki of choice for many open source projects (e.g. Apache, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora) and corporate wikis.Technical detailsMoinMoin's storage mechanism is based on flat files and folders, rather than a database. This makes it easy to manipulate the content in a text editor on the server if need be, including managing revisions if the wiki gets attacked by spammers. A storage abstraction layer is currently being

NTFS-3GNTFS-3G is an open source, freely available NTFS driver for Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, BeOS and Haiku. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License. It is based on ntfsmount with full directory index operations, and offers "unlimited file creation and deletion".NTFS-3G was introduced by Szabolcs Szakacsits in July of 2006. The first stable version was released on 2007-02-21 as version 1.0.LimitationsUnlike the NTFS driver included in the Linux kernel, NTFS-3G supports most operations for writing files: files of any size can be created, modified, renamed, moved, or deleted on NTFS partitions, except compressed and encrypted files. Experimental support to modify access control lists and permissions is available. NTFS partitions are mounted using the Filesystem in Userspa
ReiserFS

ReiserFSReiserFS is a general-purpose, journaled computer file system designed and implemented by a team at Namesys led by Hans Reiser. ReiserFS is currently supported on Linux and may be included in other operating systems in the future. Introduced in version 2.4.1 of the Linux kernel, it was the first journaling file system to be included in the standard kernel. ReiserFS is the default file system on the Elive, Xandros, Yoper, Linspire, GoboLinux and Kurumin Linux[citation needed] Linux distributions. ReiserFS was the default file system in Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise until Novell decided to move to ext3 on October 12, 2006 for future releases. Although it was rumored to be a result of principal author Hans Reiser being charged with the murder of his wife two days earlier, SUSE stated

ext3The ext3 or third extended filesystem is a journalled file system that is commonly used by the Linux operating system. It is the default file system for many popular Linux distributions. Stephen Tweedie first revealed that he was working on extending ext2 in a February 1999 kernel mailing list posting and the filesystem was merged with the mainline kernel from 2.4.15 onward.AdvantagesAlthough its performance (speed) is less attractive than competing linux filesystems such as JFS, ReiserFS and XFS, it does have the significant advantage that it allows in-place upgrades from the ext2 file system without having to back up and restore data as well as requiring lower CPU consumption than ReiserFS and XFS.[4]The ext3 file system adds, over its predecessor: * A journal * Online file syste
qmail
2008-02-15 04:29:00
qmailqmail is a mail transfer agent that runs on Unix. It was written by Daniel J. Bernstein as a more secure replacement for the popular Sendmail program.FeaturesSecurityWhen first published, qmail was the first security-aware mail transport agent; since then, other security-aware MTA's have been published. The most popular predecessor to qmail, Sendmail, was not designed with security as a goal, and as a result has been a perennial target for attackers. In contrast to sendmail, qmail has a modular architecture composed of mutually untrusting components; for instance, the SMTP listener component of qmail runs with different credentials than the queue manager, or the SMTP sender. qmail was also implemented with a security-aware replacement to the C standard library, and as a result has not

SendmailSendmail is a mail transfer agent (MTA) that is a well-known project of the open source, free software and Unix communities, which is distributed both as free software and proprietary software.History and useA descendant of the original ARPANET delivermail application, Sendmail is a remarkably flexible program, supporting many kinds of mail transfer and delivery including the overwhelmingly popular SMTP. The original version of Sendmail was written by Eric Allman in the early 1980s at UC Berkeley, who had also written delivermail previously. Delivermail was shipped in 1979 with 4.0 and 4.1 BSD. Sendmail was shipped with BSD 4.1c in 1983 (the first BSD version to include TCP/IP).Sendmail remains the most popular MTA on the Internet. Its popularity is due in part to its position as t

Dolphin (software)Dolphin is a file manager for KDE. It is the default file manager for the current version, KDE 4, and can be optionally installed on KDE 3. Although ousted as the default file manager for KDE 4, Konqueror is still the default web browser, and can be used as an alternative file manager for power users.Under KDE 4, Dolphin was streamlined for the browsing of files, sharing as much code as possible with Konqueror. This was seen as a response to criticism for many years by users that Konqueror was too complex for simple file navigation.Dolphin and KDE 3As development of the KDE 4 version was underway, the KDE 3 version of Dolphin was discontinued . However, the program continues to be unofficially available for KDE 3 under the slightly modified name of "D3lphin". D3lphin cont
