| athcool | 0.3.1 | GPL | Enabling/disabling Powersaving mode for AMD processors | Athcool is a small utility, enabling/disabling Powersaving mode for AMD Athlon/Duron processors. Since enabling Powersaving mode, you can save power consumption, lower CPU temprature when CPU is idle. Powersaving works if your kernel support ACPI (APM not work), because athcool only set/unset "Disconnect enable when STPGNT detected" bits in the Northbridge of Chipset. To really save power, someone has to send the STPGNT signal when idle. This is done by the ACPI subsystem when C2 state enterd. !!!WARNING!!! Depending on your motherboard and/or hardware components, enabling Athlon powersaving mode sometimes causes that * noisy or distorted sound playback * a slowdown in harddisk performance * system locks or instability If you met those problems, you should not use athcool. Please use athcool AT YOUR OWN RISK. |

| fnfx | 0.2 | GPL | Toshiba laptop function key utility | FnFX enables owners of Toshiba laptops to change the LCD brightness, control, the internal fan and use the special keys on their keyboard (Fn-x combinations, hot-keys). The internal functions will give the possibility to map the Fn-Keys to functions like volume up/down, mute, suspend to disk, suspend to ram and switch LCD/CRT/TV-out. These functions heavily depend on the system and/or kernel configuration. You will need at least a kernel (v2.4.x, v2.5.x, v2.6.x) with ACPI and Toshiba support (CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA). |
| harddrake | 10 | GPL | Main Hardware Configuration/Information Tool | The harddrake service is a hardware probing tool run at system boot time to determine what hardware has been added or removed from the system. It then offer to run needed config tool to update the OS configuration. |

| isapnptools | 1.26 | GPL | Utilities for configuring ISA Plug-and-Play (PnP) devices | The isapnptools package contains utilities for configuring ISA Plug-and-Play (PnP) cards which are in compliance with the PnP ISA Specification Version 1.0a. ISA PnP cards use registers instead of jumpers for setting the board address and interrupt assignments. The cards also contain descriptions of the resources which need to be allocated. The BIOS on your system, or isapnptools, uses a protocol described in the specification to find all of the PnP boards and allocate the resources so that none of them conflict. Note that the BIOS doesn't do a very good job of allocating resources. So isapnptools is suitable for all systems, whether or not they include a PnP BIOS. In fact, a PnP BIOS adds some complications. A PnP BIOS may already activate some cards so that the drivers can find them. Then these tools can unconfigure them or change their settings, causing all sorts of nasty effects. If you have PnP network cards that already work, you should read through the documentation files very carefully before you use isapnptools. Install isapnptools if you need utilities for configuring ISA PnP cards. |

| ndiswrapper | 0.4 | GPL | NdisWrapper binary loader utility | Some vendors refuses to release specs or even a binary linux-driver for their WLAN cards. This project tries to solve this problem by making a kernel module that can load Ndis (windows network driver API) drivers. We're not trying to implement all of the Ndis API but rather implement the functions needed to get these unsupported cards working. |
| nut | 1.4.2 | GPL | Network UPS Tools Client Utilities | These programs are part of a developing project to monitor the assortment of UPSes that are found out there in the field. Many models have serial ports of some kind that allow some form of state checking. This capability has been harnessed where possible to allow for safe shutdowns, live status tracking on web pages, and more. This package includes the client utilities that are required to monitor a UPS that the client host is powered from - either connected directly via a serial port (in which case the main nut package needs to be installed on this machine) or across the network (where another host on the network monitors the UPS via serial cable and runs the main nut package to allow clients to see the information). |

“A disgruntled ex-employee who was in charge of making sure we were
Microsoft compliant turned us in to the Business Software Alliance,”
[Ernie] Ball says. [...] “We were raided by armed Federal Marshals
and completely shut down for a day. Then you have to swear you won't
touch any data other than what is minimally necessary to run your
business,” he says. “I don’t believe you should treat a customer
that way.” [...] The company ended up paying a [USD]$90,000
settlement.
Ball [...] decided at that moment his company would become
“Microsoft free.” According to Ball, “Everyone said we couldn’t do
it. It took us about one year” [to convert to] a Linux-based network
and UNIX mainframe.
“I haven’t had to buy XP, and I haven’t had to buy new computers.”
