Involved Projects and Packages
eXe, the eLearning XHTML editor, is an authoring environment which enables
teachers to publish web content in standard package formats (like IMS
Content Packages and SCORM) without the need to become proficient in HTML
or XML markup. Content generated using eXe can be used by any Learning
Management System.

FDUPES is a program for identifying or deleting duplicate files
residing within specified directories
FET is open source free software for automatically scheduling the timetable of a school, high-school or university. It uses a fast and efficient timetabling algorithm. It is licensed under GNU/GPL.
The problems are setting adding elements from the palette to chalkboard, and writing the data of each element. The elements are objects as Blocks, Pulleys, Mobiles, Forces, ... . Use the SI and English systems, scientific notation and many conversion factors. The problems that can be solved with FĂsicaLab 0.1, are:
* Kinematics of particles (doesn't include circular motion).
* Static of particles in 2D.
* Dynamic of particles in 2D (doesn't include dynamic of circular motion).
The static and dynamic problems are entered constructing the free body diagrams of the objects. Although FĂsicaLab is easy and intuitive, we recommend you read the help files first before set any problem. You can access these files in the option menu Info -> Help.
The Free Pascal Compiler is a Turbo Pascal 7.0 and Delphi compatible 32/64bit
Pascal Compiler. It comes with fully TP 7.0 compatible run-time library.
Some extensions are added to the language, like function overloading. Shared
libraries can be linked. Basic Delphi support is already implemented (classes,
exceptions,ansistrings,RTTI). This package contains commandline compiler and
utils. Provided units are the runtime library (RTL), free component library
(FCL), gtk, ncurses, zlib, mysql, postgres, ibase bindings.
This package contains precompiled units for different hardware architectures.
This package aggregates the needed packages for initial building fpc
Fraqtive is a program for drawing Mandelbrot and Julia fractals.
It uses a very fast algorithm and generates high quality, smooth images.
It is fully interactive, allowing for real-time mouse navigation and
dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview.
OpenGL-rendered 3D view of the fractals is also supported.
Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter
with object extensions, like Visual Basic(tm) (but it is NOT a clone!).
With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI, access MySQL or
PostgreSQL databases, control KDE applications with DCOP, translate
your program into many languages, create network applications easily,
build RPMs of your apps automatically, and so on... You have to install
the necessary components
Gambas is still in development, but already useful for smaller projects.
The IDE itself is written in Gambas-BASIC. The source can be used reviewed
as an example application in the /usr/share/gambas/examples directory.
Documentation is also in that directory.
Garlic is an X Window System tool intended for the molecular
visualization of protein structure, DNA structure, and biological
macromolecules. It reads Brookhaven Protein Database (PDB) files.
gbrainy is a brain teaser game and trainer to have fun and to keep your
brain trained.
It provides the following types of games: * Logic puzzles. Games
designed to challenge your reasoning and thinking skills.
* Mental calculation. Games based on arithmetical operations
designed to prove your mental calculation skills.
* Memory trainers. Games designed to challenge your short term memory.
GChemPaint is a multi document application and will be a bonobo server so that
some chemistry could be embedded in other Gnome applications.
Obsolete package since gnome-chemistry-utils 0.10
GCompris is an educational software suite comprising of numerous activities
for children aged 2 to 10. Some of the activities are game orientated, but
nonetheless still educational. Below you can find a list of categories with
some of the activities available in that category.
- computer discovery: keyboard, mouse, different mouse gesture, ...
- algebra: table memory, enumeration, double entry table, mirror image, ...
- science: the canal lock, the water cycle, the submarine, electric simulation ...
- geography: place the country on the map
- games: chess, memory, connect 4, oware, sudoku ...
- reading: reading practice
- other: learn to tell time, puzzle of famous paintings, vector drawing, ...
Currently GCompris offers in excess of 80 activities and more are being
developed. GCompris is free software, that means that you can adapt it
to your own needs, improve it and, most importantly, share it with
children everywhere.
This package provides the new RPM macros for GConf on older products.

gElemental is a GTK+ periodic table viewer with detailed information on elements.
GeoGebra is a dynamic mathematics software for education in secondary schools that joins geometry, algebra and calculus.
On the one hand, GeoGebra is a dynamic geometry system. You can do constructions with points, vectors, segments, lines, conic sections as well as functions and change them dynamically afterwards.
On the other hand, equations and coordinates can be entered directly. Thus, GeoGebra has the ability to deal with variables for numbers, vectors and points, finds derivatives and integrals of functions and offers commands like Root or Extremum.
These two views are characteristic of GeoGebra: an expression in the algebra window corresponds to an object in the geometry window and vice versa.
Geonext acts as a tool for creating geometric constructions with a various number of construction tools. Compared to paper based constructions constructions can be changed and varied dynamically afterwards.
Ghemical is implemented using the C++ programming language, and it has a graphical user interface which utilizes the OpenGL graphics interface and the GTK+ multiplatform widget library.
The gnome-doc-utils package is a collection of documentation utilities
for the GNOMEproject. Notably, it contains utilities for building
documentation and all auxiliary files in your source tree. It also
contains the DocBook XSLT stylesheets that were once distributed with
Yelp. Starting with GNOME 2.8, Yelp requires gnome-doc-utils for XSLT.
It also contains the Python program xml2po that extracts translatable
content from XML documents and outputs gettext-compatible POT files.
For simple tags, it works out-of-the-box. For complicated tags, provide
a list of all tags that are considered "final" (tags with contents that
should be put into one "message" in the POT file), "ignored" (skipped
over), and "space preserving".
Sane defaults are available for DocBook documents and other common
document types (like GNOME Summaries and XHTML). For other kinds of
documents, it is possible to use -a (--automatic-tags) to choose
suitable translatable pieces.
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.
A worthy chess opponent. Runs in text mode. You can find an X11 interface in the xboard package.

Gramofile is a program to digitize audio records. Through the
application of several filters, it is possible to accomplish a
significant reduction of disturbances like ticks and scratches. Data is
saved in WAV format, making it easy to record on CD with programs like
cdrecord or xcdroast.
The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a collection of routines for
numerical computing. The routines are written from scratch by the GSL
team in ANSI C and present a modern Applications Programming Interface
(API) for C programmers, while allowing wrappers to be written for very
high level languages.
The library covers the following areas:
Complex Numbers Roots of Polynomials Special Functions
Vectors and Matrices Permutations Sorting BLAS Support
Linear Algebra Eigensystems Fast Fourier Transforms
Quadrature Random Numbers Quasi-Random Sequences Random
Distributions Statistics Histograms N-Tuples
Monte Carlo Integration Simulated Annealing Differential
Equations Interpolation Numerical Differentiation Chebyshev
Series Acceleration Approximation Discrete Hankel
Root-Finding Minimization Transforms Least-Squares Fitting
Physical Constants IEEE Floating-Point
