`setcdboot' is used on the DEC Alpha platform to mark a file bootable within an Alpha ISO-9660 image bootable. First create an ISO-9660 image using `mkisofs', and then run setcdboot <name_of_iso_image> <boot_path_within_image> Once a bootable file image has been marked with `setcdboot', burn the image to CDROM media in the usual manner. To boot the resulting CDROM, simply specify the CDROM device as the boot device and the Alpha will boot as if from hard disk.

This is pstree. It is a small program that shows the ps listing as a tree (as the name implies...). It has several options to make selection criteria and to change the output style. For that it uses the output of /bin/ps.

Use ViM as a more(1)/less(1) pager replacement. To set as your default pager, export PAGER=vimpager in your shell's rcfile. See the manpage for various options. Of note, some options in your .vimrc can cause strange behaviour. Creating ~/.vimpagerrc will give you a clean ViM environment.

Text::Unaccent is a module that remove accents from a string. unac_string converts the input string from the specified charset to UTF-16 and call unac_string_utf16 to return the unaccented equivalent. The conversion from and to UTF-16 is done with iconv(1).

tvtwm is a version of twm which incorporates virtual desktops, similar to vtwm and swm. It is nearly identical to twm until you specify a virtual desktop size in your .[tv]twmrc file, which is when you start getting the benefits of this window manager.

The heart of the package is 'libcw'. This is a library which, when built, offers the following basic CW services to a caller program: o Morse code character translation tables, and lookup functions o Morse code low-level timing calculations o A 'sidetone' generation and queueing system, using either the system sound card, the console speaker, or both o Optional keying control for an external device, say a transmitter, or an oscillator o CW character and string send routines, tied in with the character lookup o CW receive routines, also tied in to the character lookup o Adaptive speed tracking of received CW o An iambic keyer, with both Curtis 8044 types A and B timing o Straight key emulation

SVMlight is an implementation of Vapnik's Support Vector Machine [Vapnik, 1995] for the problem of pattern recognition, for the problem of regression, and for the problem of learning a ranking function. The optimization algorithms used in SVMlight are described in [Joachims, 2002a ]. [Joachims, 1999a]. The algorithm has scalable memory requirements and can handle problems with many thousands of support vectors efficiently. The software also provides methods for assessing the generalization performance efficiently. It includes two efficient estimation methods for both error rate and precision/recall. XiAlpha-estimates [Joachims, 2002a, Joachims, 2000b] can be computed at essentially no computational expense, but they are conservatively biased. Almost unbiased estimates provides leave-one-out testing. SVMlight exploits that the results of most leave-one-outs (often more than 99%) are predetermined and need not be computed [Joachims, 2002a].

TECkit (Text Encoding Conversion toolkit) is a toolkit for converting data between 8-bit legacy encodings and Unicode. It can also be used for transliteration of Unicode between different scripts. TECkit uses a mapping description language (mapping byte encodings to Unicode). Mapping rules can be extended by (1) the use of character sequences rather than single characters on either side; (2) by the addition of contextual constraints (environments) determining when a rule should apply; (3) and by the use of character classes, optional and repeatable elements, grouping and alternation to express more complex patterns to be matched and processed. TECkit is particularly useful with XeTeX (Unicode-aware derivate of TeX). The following binaries are provided: teckit_compile mapping compiler that allows binary mapping tables (.tec) to be built from TECkit description files (.map) sfconv a tool for converting Standard Format (SF) files txtconv a utility to apply TECkit mappings to plain-text files http://scripts.sil.org/TECkitDownloads#5b6cf869

This is eispack from research.att.com. I've cleaned up the Makefile, but it is otherwise the same. The package is described in: 1.

The Xen Project hypervisor is an open-source type-1 or baremetal hypervisor, which makes it possible to run many instances of an operating system or indeed different operating systems in parallel on a single machine (or host). The Xen Project hypervisor is the only type-1 hypervisor that is available as open source. It is used as the basis for a number of different commercial and open source applications, such as: server virtualization, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), desktop virtualization, security applications, embedded and hardware appliances
