Azureus Java BitTorrent Client GPL users A nice way to spread the SUSE ISOs

... and it's already in Fedora (Extras)... so include it! ;-)


Azureus versions greater than 2.4.0.0 should work fine with GNU Classpath, it'd be really nice to have packages for Azureus that'd use that, so I don't have to bother with Sun's non-free Java platform. The Azureus package in Fedora Extras (2.4.0.3 beta) works great without Sun's Java, and on both x86, x86_64 and PPC. --Tsuroerusu 21:49, 8 Aug 2006 (MDT)]

iFolder Server Data Sync GPL user/sysadmins/office iFolder operates on the concept of shared folders, where a folder is marked as shared and the contents of the folder are then synchronized to other computers over a network, either directly between computers in a peer-to-peer fashion or through a server. This is intended to allow a single user to synchronize their files between different computers (for example between a work computer and a home computer) or share files with other users (for example a group of people who are collaborating on a project).

The core of the iFolder is actually a project called Simias. It is Simias which actually monitors files for changes, synchronizes these changes and controls the access permissions on folders. The actual iFolder clients (including a graphical desktop client and a web client) are developed as separate programs that communicate with the Simias back-end. --Zunami 14:04, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

KNetStats KNetStats GPL A simple KDE network monitor that show rx/tx LEDs Very useful icon in tray in KDE.

A simple KDE network monitor that show rx/tx LEDs or numeric information about the transfer rate of any network interface in a system tray icon. The source code of the current version (v1.3) is avaliable for download at Sourceforge download and CVS servers.

Features:

  • See network activity and transfer rate of any network interface (including localloopback)
  • Support multiple network interfaces.
  • See simple statistics (packets and bytes received and transmitted).
  • Configurable Update Interval, View mode, Icon themes, etc.
  • GPL'ed, you can use and modify for free (Following GPL conditions)

-Proton911


This should be installed by default, maybe with a checkbox in the 'YAST-Control Center - Network Devices/Network Cards' when configuring a new network interface' to add the icon automatically. Also, not part of this package, but it could be very very nice to have, like in XP, a sub-menu in the start menu to show all network interfaces dans their status, for most users and admins it could be very usefull. In this 'Network Connections' menu we could have to state of the firewall on each interface and also PLEASE some 'translation' between the new interface ID system (eth-id-xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and the old one (ethx) so it could be more easy to find and configure the right one.--Romainp

OpenNMS Enterprise-grade Java/XML-based Distributed Network & Systems Management platform GPL/LGPL Network Administrators Currently, OpenNMS focuses on three main areas: Service Polling - determining service availability and reporting on same.

OpenVAS Network Security Scanner GPL Sysadmins/auditors OpenVAS stands for Open Vulnerability Assessment System and is a network security scanner with associated tools like a graphical user fontend (OpenVAS-Client). The core is a server component with a set of network vulnerability tests (NVTs) to detect security problems in remote systems and applications. OpenVAS is a fork of Nessus which turned into a proprietary product since version 3. Apart from that, the current Nessus package of OpenSUSE violates the Nessus license which does not give OpenSSL exception for the server. Naturally, compiled packages without SSL do not make sense. OpenVAS migrated from OpenSSL to GNUTLS to remove this legal problem.

YaCy P2P - Search Engine GPL Users YaCy (read "ya see") is an open-source distributed search engine, built on principles of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, and released under the GPL. Its core is a computer program written in Java distributed on several hundred of computers, as of September 2006, so-called YaCy-peers. Each YaCy-peer independently crawls through the Internet, analyses and indexes found web pages and stores indexing results in a common database (so called index) which is shared with other YaCy-peers using principles of P2P networks.

YaCy-network has a decentralised architecture. All YaCy-peers are equal and no central server exists. It can be run either in a crawling mode or as a local proxy server, indexing web pages visited by the person running YaCy on his or her computer. (Several mechanisms are provided to protect user's privacy).

Access to the search functions is made by a locally running web server which provides a search box to enter the query and returns results of the search in form of a web page as usual on other search portals and engines--Zunami 15:55, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
