FOX is a C++-based library for graphical user interface development.

FOX supports modern GUI features such as drag-and-drop, tooltips, tab
books, tree lists, icons, multiple document interfaces (MDI), timers,
idle processing, automatic GUI updating, as well as OpenGL/Mesa for 3D
graphics. Subclassing of basic FOX widgets allows for easy extension
beyond the built-in widgets by application writers.

GNS3 is a excellent complementary tool to real labs for administrators
of Cisco networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA,
CCNP, CCIP or CCIE certifications.

It can also be used to experiment features of Cisco IOS or to check configurations
that need to be deployed later on real routers.

Important notice: users must provide their own Cisco IOS to use GNS3.

This package is based on the package 'gnucap' from project 'science'.

The primary component is a general purpose circuit simulator. It
performs nonlinear dc and transient analyses, fourier analysis, and ac
analysis. Spice compatible models for the MOSFET (level 1-7), BJT, and
diode are included in this release.

Gnucap is not based on Spice, but some of the models have been derived
from the Berkeley models.

Unlike Spice, the engine is designed to do true mixed-mode
simulation. Most of the code is in place for future support of event
driven analog simulation, and true multi-rate simulation.

Icinga is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
and when a problem is resolved. Icinga is written in C and is
designed to run under Linux (and some other *NIX variants) as a
background process, intermittently running checks on various services
that you specify.

The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs
which return the status of the checks to Icinga. The plugins are
available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug

iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It listens
to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current
bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. It is handy for explaining why the
network links slow.

Utilities supporting autoinstallation and creation of customized
installation sources.

Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Inst-source-utils for a detailed
description of each script.

John the Ripper is a fast password cracker (password security auditing
tool). Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords, but a
number of other hash types are supported as well.

This package contains a simple library for use by programs needing to
handle papers. It lets program automatically recognize a lot of
different papers with their properties (actually their size).

Maxima is a full symbolic computation program. It is full featured
doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
functions, integration, Todd-coxeter, graphing, bigfloats. It has a
symbolic debugger source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970's. It is
quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks.
It comes with hundreds of self tests.

Nagios is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
and when a problem is resolved. Nagios is written in C and is designed
to run under Linux (and some other *NIX variants) as a background
process, intermittently running checks on various services that you
specify.

The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs
which return the status of the checks to Nagios. The plugins are
available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug

This package provides core programs for Nagios. The web interface,
documentation, and development files are built as separate packages

Check if physical interfaces are plugged in, and warns when one link is dead.

This check plugin is a Perl script which compares your local signature database
(daily.cvd) version to the version advertised from the ClamAV site. It verifies
the latest ClamAV revision using a DNS TXT query against
current.cvd.clamav.net.

A perl script that checks all local NFS mounts by forking itself and trying to
chdir to it and (optionally) writing to a file. It includes performance data
and allows warnings based on thresholds.

Checks rsync servers availability, as well as (optionally) individual
modules availability. It also supports authentication on modules.

Usage: check_rsync -H [-p ] [-m [,,] [-m [,,]...]]

The only required argument is -H, in which case it will only try to
list modules on the Rsync server.

This plugin checks for software updates on systems that use package
management systems based on the zypper command found in openSUSE.

It checks for security, recommended and optional patches and also for
optional package updates.

You can define the status by patch category. Use a commata to list more
than one category to a state.

If you like to know the names of available patches and packages, use
the "-v" option.

Newt is a programming library for color text-mode, widget-based user
interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry widgets,
checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields, scrollbars, etc.,
to text mode user interfaces.

This package also contains a Dialog replacement called whiptail. Newt
is based on the slang library.

Perl extension to generate and test check digits

aliased is simple in concept but is a rather handy module. It loads the class
you specify and exports into your namespace a subroutine that returns the class
name. You can explicitly alias the class to another name or, if you prefer, you
can do so implicitly. In the latter case, the name of the subroutine is the
last part of the class name.

This module is useful if you prefer a shorter name for a class. It's also handy
if a class has been renamed.

Though we recommend that people generally use the Moose manpage, we accept
that Moose cannot yet be used for everything everywhere. People generally
like the Moose sugar, so many people use the Mouse manpage, a lightweight
replacement for parts of Moose.

Because Mouse strives for compatibility with Moose, it's easy to substitute
one for the other. This module facilitates that substitution. By default,
Mouse will be provided to libraries, unless Moose is already loaded -or-
explicitly requested by the end-user. The end-user can force the decision
of which backend to use by setting the environment variable 'ANY_MOOSE' to
be 'Moose' or 'Mouse'.

Note that the decision of which backend to use is made only once, so that
if Any-Moose picks Mouse, then a third-party library loads Moose, anything
else that uses Any-Moose will continue to pick Mouse.

So, if you have to use the Mouse manpage, please be considerate to the
Moose fanboys (like myself!) and use the Any-Moose manpage instead. ':)'

This modules handles International Standard Book Numbers, including ISBN-10
and ISBN-13.

This data is current as of the date in the module version. At that time,
the publisher codes 9990000-9999999 or 999000-999999 had not been fixed,
although they had been proposed. I do not include them in the data. Some
regions, including India (93), Gabon (99902), and Congo (99951) have
country codes but no publisher codes. They still have entries even though
you won't be able to validate any ISBNs assigned in those regions.

Business::ISBN uses this "data pack" to do its work. You can update
Business::ISBN::Data independently of the main module as the various
ISBN organizations assign new publisher codes. The ISBN agency lists
these data at http://www.isbn-international.org/converter/ranges.htm .

CGI::Simple provides a relatively lightweight drop in replacement for
CGI.pm. It shares an identical OO interface to CGI.pm for parameter
parsing, file upload, cookie handling and header generation. This module is
entirely object oriented, however a complete functional interface is
available by using the CGI::Simple::Standard module.

Essentially everything in CGI.pm that relates to the CGI (not HTML) side of
things is available. There are even a few new methods and additions to old
ones! If you are interested in what has gone on under the hood see the
Compatibility with CGI.pm section at the end.

In practical testing this module loads and runs about twice as fast as
CGI.pm depending on the precise task.

The Class::Adapter class is intended as an abstract base class for creating
any sort of class or object that follows the Adapter pattern.
