Greenie linux is free operational system assigned for everyday usage in households of Middle Europe. It is based on the popular Ubuntu OS. Greenie Linux is available in the following editions:
- a CD edition with open source and proprietary software,
- a DVD edition with extra software and a bundled repository,
- a mini-CD for building an operating system from a small base, and a special edition for webmasters.
Greenie Linux primarily supports Slovak and Czech, but the DVD edition also provides language modules for other central European languages.
History
Project is not very deeply rooted yet. First experiments were called Elvenbuntu. This system was only “first-fruit” and has existed only for short period of time. For the real beginning of the project Greenie Linux – that time called Green Linux, we can consider the date of 14th September 2007. Today, only few days after, Linux has few testing releases, its own philosophy and a group of people with common thinking is forming around…
Philosophy
Greenie Linux has a different philosophy in comparison to his base Ubuntu. The main philosophy is possibility to choose. Usually a man has at least 2 possibilities. It’s regular when choosing the software, version of distribution or the way how to work with the system. Greenie is OS which appreciate free software and that’s why his basic version is absolutely free. At the same time there is a version where the free software exists with a software which is non-free. Possibility to choose is always up to user of Greenie.
achart is a simple command-line ASCII chart utility.
Most programmers need an ASCII chart now and then, and I go tired of not having one around so I wrote this very simple tool achart. It displays an ASCII character chart in one of the common bases — octal, decimal, or hexadecimal — and can optionally show the special control-code names (NUL, ESC, etc.).
Run without parameters, it shows a chart in decimal:
$ achart

KTorrent is a BitTorrent filesharing program for KDE.
Here are some key features of “KTorrent”:
· Downloads torrent files
· Upload speed capping, seeing that most people can’t upload infinite amounts of data.
· Internet searching using The Bittorrent website’s search engine
· UDP Trackers
It has only been tested on linux at the moment, but it should work on most, if not all unix platforms.
The RPM Package Manager also know as RPM is a powerful command line driven package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating computer software packages.
Each software package consists of an archive of files along with information about the package like its version, a description, and the like. There is also a related API (“Application Program Interface”), permitting advanced developers to bypass ’shelling out’ to a command line, and to manage such transactions from within a native coding language.
RPM is commonly found in the Linux computer operating system environment, but has been extended far beyond those initial confines.
A subset of the full RPM package feature-set is the baseline standard packaging format specified by the Linux Standard Base (which has as some of its goals to: “increase compatibility among Linux distributions and enable software applications to run on any compliant Linux system.”)
xine is a free (gpl-licensed) high-performance, portable and reusable multimedia playback engine. xine itself is a shared library with an easy to use, yet powerful api which is used by many applications for smooth video playback and video processing purposes.
Here are some key features of “Xine”:
· xine is fast:
· All included decoders are optimized to use MMX, MMXEXT, SSE and 3DNow! acceleration if available. The well designed architecture moves data efficiently across plugins without requiring extra memory copies to be made. Multi-threaded implementation provide big gains on SMP systems.

Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT.
The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April of 1996. The October 2004 Netcraft Web Server Survey found that more than 67% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined.
The Apache HTTP Server is a project of the Apache Software Foundation.
Here are some key features of “Apache2″:
Core Enhancements
Authn/Authz
· The bundled authentication and authorization modules have been refactored. There is a new authentication backend provider scheme which greatly eases the construction of new authentication backends.
Caching
· mod_cache, mod_disk_cache, and mod_mem_cache have undergone a lot of changes are now considered production-quality. htcacheclean has been introduced to cleanup mod_disk_cache setups.
Proxying
· The new mod_proxy_balancer module provides load balancing services for mod_proxy. The new mod_proxy_ajp module adds support for the Apache JServ Protocol version 1.3 used by Apache Tomcat.
Regular Expression Library Updated
· Version 5.0 of the Perl Compatible Regular Expression Library (PCRE) is now included.
Smart Filtering
· mod_filter introduces dynamic configuration to the output filter chain. It enables filters to be conditionally inserted, based on any Request or Response header or environment variable, and dispenses with the more problematic dependencies and ordering problems in the 2.0 architecture.
Large File Support
· httpd is now built with support for files larger than 2Gb on modern 32-bit Unix systems. Support for handling >2Gb request bodies has also been added.
Event MPM
· The event MPM uses a seperate thread to handle Keep Alive requests and accepting connections. Keep Alive requests have traditionally required httpd to dedicate a worker to handle it. This dedicated worker could not be used again until the Keep Alive timeout was reached.
SQL Database Support
· mod_dbd, together with the apr_dbd framework, brings direct SQL support to modules that need it. Supports connection pooling in threaded MPMs.
Module Enhancements
mod_authnz_ldap
· This module is a port of the 2.0 mod_auth_ldap module to the 2.2 Authn/Authz framework. New features include using LDAP attribute values and complicated search filters in the Require directive.
mod_info
· Added a new ?config argument which will show the configuration directives as parsed by Apache, including their file name and line number. The module also shows the order of all request hooks and additional build information, similar to httpd -V.
mod_ssl
· Added a support for RFC 2817, which allows connections to upgrade from clear text to TLS encryption.
Program Enhancements
httpd
· A new command line option -M has been added that lists all modules that are loaded based on the current configuration. Unlike the -l option, this list includes DSOs loaded via mod_so.
Module Developer Changes
APR 1.0 API
· Apache 2.2 uses the APR 1.0 API. All deprecated functions and symbols have been removed from APR and APR-Util. For details, see the APR Website.
Connection Error Logging
· A new function, ap_log_cerror has been added to log errors that occure with the client’s connection. When logged, the message includes the client IP address.
Test Configuration Hook Added
· A new hook, test_config has been added to aid modules that want to execute special code only when the user passes -t to httpd.
Set Threaded MPM’s Stacksize
· A new directive, ThreadStackSize has been added to set the stack size on all threaded MPMs. This is required for some third-party modules on platforms with small default thread stack size.
Protocol handling for output filters
· In the past, every filter has been responsible for ensuring that it generates the correct response headers where it affects them. Filters can now delegate common protocol management to mod_filter, using the ap_register_output_filter_protocol or ap_filter_protocol calls.
Monitor hook added
· Monitor hook enables modules to run regular/scheduled jobs in the parent (root) process.
ClamTk is a GUI front-end for ClamAV antivirus projects, using Gtk2-perl.
It is designed to be an easy-to-use, point and click virus scanner for Linux systems.
Requirements:
· Gtk2-Perl
What’s New in This Release:
· This version updates the Korean, French and Dutch language files, improves the menubar readability, and adds a (temporary) quarantine and delete block on email folders.
· Additionally, clamtk-kde 0.10 has been released as well.
MyPaint is a painting application with brush dynamics.
MyPaint is a fast painting/scribbling program. It is like the GIMP with only the airbrush tool, but with more dynamics.
For example you can noisify the brush radius depending on the pointer speed. It supports pressure sensitive graphic tablets. MyPaint has an infinite canvas and an own color selector, but no layers and no undo function.
Requirements:
· GTK+ >= 2.6.x
· pygtk
What’s New in This Release:
· Apart from new brushes, this release includes only minor additions like fullscreen mode, a new desktop icon and the option to use a global pressure mapping.
· Error handling was added and several bugs were fixed.
GREYCstoration is an image regularization algorithm which processes an image by locally removing small variations of pixel intensities while preserving significant global image features, such as sharp edges and corners.
The most direct application of image regularization is denoising. By extension, GREYCstoration can also be used to inpaint or resize images.
GREYCstoration is based on state-of-the-art methods using nonlinear multi-valued diffusion PDE’s (Partial Differential Equations) for image regularization. This kind of method generally outperforms basic image filtering techniques (such as convolution, median filtering, etc.), classically encountered in painting programs.
Other image denoising plugins are available (for instance, Noise Ninja, Neat Image ) but are not free, and the corresponding algorithms are kept secret.
What’s New in This Release:
· A new image cleaning mode was added (for the command-line only).
· It is based on diffusion PDEs on image patch space.
· It gives quite interesting denoising results when parameters are set correctly, sometimes better than with the traditional “-denoise” method.
wbmclamav is a webmin module to manage Clam Antivirus (ClamAV).
