NTFS-3G 2008-02-19 02:51:00 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 2008-02-17 01:00:00 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
No title 2008-02-17 00:50:00 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
No title 2008-02-12 03:52:00 KGPGKGPG is a KDE graphical frontend for GnuPG, which includes a key management window and an editor. Users can easily create cryptographic keys, and write, encrypt, decrypt, sign, or verify messages.Through integration with the Konqueror browser, users can easily encrypt files by right-clicking and choosing Actions > Encrypt File. Left-clicking on an encrypted file in Konqueror will prompt the user for a password to decrypt the file. You can make public or private keys, and can export/import keys. A user can sign the keys, and set an expiration date.
KJots 2008-02-12 03:51:00 KJotsKJots is a free and simple outliner text editor for the KDE environment on Linux. It uses a basic tree structure to organize information: it refers to nodes as 'books' and leaves as 'pages'. It includes a book view, which shows a table of contents, and a view mode for all entries. However, it doesn't include word wrap or undo functionality.A similar application is Tomboy.
Krusader 2008-02-12 03:44:00 KrusaderKrusader is an advanced orthodox file manager for KDE and other desktops in the *nix world, similar to GNOME Commander or Midnight Commander (Linux), or Total Commander (Windows). It supports extensive archive handling, mounted filesystem support, FTP, advanced search, viewer/editor, directory synchronisation, file content comparisons, batch renaming, etc.It supports the following archive formats: tar, ZIP, bzip2, gzip, RAR, ace, ARJ, LHA, 7-zip and RPM and can handle other KIO Slaves such as smb or fish.Krusader is published under GNU General Public License.User interfaceKrusader's user interface is based on the orthodox file manager (OFM) principle, also known as Commander-like file managers, are the family of file managers based on the old Norton Commander interface. The orthodo
KCalc 2008-02-12 03:42:00 KCalcKcalc is a calculator application integrated with the KDE-Desktop. In the default view it includes a number pad, buttons for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, brackets, memory keys, percent, reciprocal, factorial, square, square root, and x to the power of y buttons.Additional buttons for scientific and engineering (trigonometric and logarithmic functions), statistics and logic functions can be enabled as needed. 6 additional buttons can be predefined with mathematical constants and physical constants or custom values.Since version 2 (included in KDE 3.5) KCalc offers arbitrary precision.
BasKet Note Pads 2008-02-12 03:41:00 BasKet Note PadsBasKet Note Pads is a KDE program for organizing, sharing, and taking notes. It can manage various types of information such as to-do lists, links, pictures, and other types, similar to a scrapbook.As of October 2007, the project has run in to problems because its originator is no longer able to devote as much time to it as possible. A minimal port to KDE 4 is planned but additional developers are being sought to implement new features and keep the project current.
No title 2008-02-12 03:35:00 ArkArk is an archiving tool for KDE, included into kdeutils package.Features * Ark does not intrinsically understand any archive format, but instead acts as a frontend to command-line archivers. It can work with many backends, including 7z, tar, rar, zip, gzip, bzip2, lha, zoo, and ar. * Ark can be integrated into Konqueror, through KParts technology, if the appropriate plugin from kdeaddons package is installed. After installing it, files can be added or extracted in/from the archives using Konqueror's context menus. * Support for editing files in archive with external programs. Files can also be deleted from the archive. * Archives creation with drag and drop.
SuperKaramba 2008-02-09 10:05:00 SuperKarambaSuperKaramba is a tool that allows one to easily create functionality enhancement modules on a KDE desktop. Currently, only Linux is officially supported, although it also works well on FreeBSD and NetBSD. This program is similar to gDesklets for GNOME, Yahoo! Widget Engine for Windows and Mac OS X, DesktopX for Windows, and Dashboard for Mac OS X and also the 'gadgets' subset of Google Desktop for Microsoft Windows.The interactive programs are usually embedded directly into the background and do not disturb the normal view of the desktop. The use of SuperKaramba is not limited to KDE, but certain libraries from KDE are required. SuperKaramba is included in KDE 3.5.How it worksAuthors use text files to create themes that define their widget. They then have the option of adding

Phonon 2008-05-22 07:41:00 Phonon is the cross platform multimedia API for KDE 4. Phonon was created as a solution to several problems commonly faced by unix desktops for multimedia. Phonon itself is not a multimedia framework, but interfaces with existing frameworks such as GStreamer or Xine via backends. Phonon allows all multimedia frameworks it supports to be accessed through a simple API. This prevents problems like fr
