Free Linux Tools

FreeVPS is a free Linux-based software implementing virtual servers technology, a cost-effective and resource-saving solution that runs virtually isolated full-featured standalone Linux servers on one host box.

Linux Fusion installs the fusion module to your kernel.
Fusion is a high level IPC API providing mechanisms for master/slave environments.
In client/server environments clients delegate every operation to the server which has sole access to shared resources.
The master/slave approach eliminates this overhead by virtually merging the processes at the lower level of their implementation.
This way of [...]

MOSIX Grid and Cluster Management is a management system for Linux clusters and organizational grids that provides a Single-System Image.
In a MOSIX based system, there is no need to modify or link applications with any library, copy files, login to remote nodes, or even assign processes to different nodes; it is all done automatically. Just [...]

patch-linux-m1 is a Linux kernel patch that randomizes IP id numbers to disallow IP id portscan. It’s not fool-proof, it only randomizes 8 bits out of a total of 16 bits to avoid reusing ip ids to soon. What this means is that it takes 256 (or 255 if port was open) packets per port [...]

ATA over Ethernet driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol.
Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades.
The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).
What’s New in This Release:
· Dynamic minor numbers for devices expand the range of usable AoE [...]

Web100 project was created to produce a complete host-software environment that will run common TCP applications at 100% of the available bandwidth, regardless of the magnitude of a network’s capability.
While the national high-performance network infrastructure has grown tremendously both in bandwidth and accessibility, it is still common for applications, hosts, researchers and other users to [...]

Realtime Application Interface project allows applications with strict timing constraints to be run on Linux.
A real time system is able to guarantee the timing requirements of the processes under its control.
RTAI provides an API and the necessary kernel modifications to accommodate such requirements.
What’s New in 3.5 Stable Release:
· Improvements were made to netrpc.
· Context switching [...]

Linux Kernel is the essential part of Linux, responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, and basic file system management.
Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX [...]

AQuoSA is an open-source project for the provisioning of adaptive Quality of Service functionality into the Linux kernel, developed at the Real Time Systems Laboratory of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. The project features a flexible, portable, lightweight and open architecture for supporting soft real-time applications with facilities related to timing guarantees and QoS, on the top [...]
