    Window Maker Live

    Window Maker Live

    Window Maker Live Linux Distribution

    Window Maker Live is an installable Linux Live ISO based on the current Bookworm branch of Debian. The system uses the Window Maker window manager as the default graphical user interface. Window Maker Live's components have been carefully preconfigured and the desktop environment has a consistent visual appearance. Window Maker Live integrates selected components from other desktop environments such as XFCE4, MATE, LXQT, with a particular focus on GNUstep. The main idea behind this project is to integrate the Window Maker window manager as default user interface on top of a standard Debian/Bookworm base system. It also serves as an alternate installation medium for Debian/Bookworm. The second main idea not directly visible on the surface level is the inclusion of many useful command line utilities and tools for system administration. This effectively turns wmlive into a UNIX administrator's workbench for rescue and repair operations.

    Boot2Docker

    Boot2Docker

    Linux distribution made specifically to run Docker containers

    Boot2Docker is a lightweight Linux distribution made specifically to run Docker containers. It runs completely from RAM, is a ~45MB download and boots quickly. Boot2Docker is designed and tuned for development. Using it for any kind of production workloads is highly discouraged. Installation should be performed via Docker Toolbox which installs Docker Machine, the Boot2Docker VM, and other necessary tools. Boot2Docker is used via Docker Machine (installed as part of Docker Toolbox) which leverages VirtualBox's VBoxManage to initialise, start, stop and delete the VM right from the command line. Docker Machine auto logs in using the generated SSH key, but if you want to SSH into the machine manually (or you're not using a Docker Machine managed VM), you can do so. Boot2docker uses Tiny Core Linux, which runs from RAM and so does not persist filesystem changes by default.

    Babashka

    Babashka

    Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting

    Avoid switching between Clojure and bash scripts. Enjoy your parens on the command line. Leveraging GraalVM native-image and the Small Clojure Interpreter, babashka is a self-contained and instantly starting scripting environment. Babashka comes with scripting batteries included: tools.cli, cheshire, babashka.fs, babashka.process, java.time and many more libraries and classes. Babashka scripts work on linux, macOS and Windows. Besides the built-in libraries, babashka is able to load libraries from source, tapping into the world of already existing Clojure libraries. Babashka supports real JVM threads and like Clojure, supports futures and dynamic thread-locally bound vars. Babashka features a built-in task runner which covers the most popular use cases of make, just and npm scripts. Babashka can shell out to other CLI programs like you are used to in bash. It goes one step further and offers seamless integration with other binaries using the pod protocol.

    Featureless Linux Library

    Featureless Linux Library

    Linux Library on top of Libc focusing on long term support.

    When computer power increases, programmers generally add more "features", thus making any performance gains in new hardware negligible. This project is an attempt to develop a library above libc that breaks out of this terrible loop.

    m23

    m23

    Your linux deployment tool!

    m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

    TraceMAC - Traceroute for MAC addresses

    TraceMAC - Traceroute for MAC addresses

    TraceMAC is a command-line Layer 2 traceroute for Cisco switches

    TraceMAC is a Windows/Linux command-line tool that allows you to trace a specific MAC address thru Cisco switches. It works by connecting to a switch using SSH, SNMP, Telnet, HTTP or HTTPS and do some "show commands" and later process the output, this will happen recursively until it finds the switch where that MAC address (PC/Printer/Etc) is directly connected. Note: It works with Cisco switches only and you must have CDP enabled at least on trunks/links between switches! Is tested with Cisco switches: Catalyst: 2960,3560,3750,4948,6509,9200,9300,9500 (All protocols) Nexus: C9332C, 93180YC-EX (NX-OS SSH) Express 500 (HTTP) FYI: It uses Nbtscan.exe (NetBIOS) as a alternative method to discover the mac address of a host and now seems that it is considered a malware. Anyway it is just a simple network tool that can scan the network similar to NMAP or Angry IP Scanner, etc...
