different approach by providing users with a flexible framework that

facilitates customized, in-depth monitoring far beyond the capabilities of

traditional systems. With initial versions in operational deployment during

the mid '90s already, Bro finds itself grounded in more than 20 years of

research.</p>

<h2><a href="http://buildbot.net/">Buildbot</a></h2>

<p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a

single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the

utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The

utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their

full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included

provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU

counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any

small or embedded system.</p>

<p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited

resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily

include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes

it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working

system, just add some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files

in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p>

<p>Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities

similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the

open-standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape's

main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully

compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards.</p>

<p>In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or

Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics

is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and

objects that you see in the image. This description is then used to

determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom

level.</p>

<h2><a href="http://qemu.org">QEMU</a></h2>

<p> QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and

        programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different

        machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves

        very good performance. When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near

        native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host

        CPU. QEMU supports

 virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the

        KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86,

        server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.</p>

<p>Samba is a FOSS suite that provides seamless file and print

services to SMB/CIFS clients, namely, to Microsoft Windows. Samba is

freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows

for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based

clients.  Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than

Microsoft Windows. For example, Samba runs on Unix, GNU/Linux, IBM

System z, Solaris, Mac OS X, and OpenVMS, among others. It is

standard on virtually all distributions of GNU/Linux and is commonly

included as a basic system service on other UNIX-based systems as

well. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host

server.</p>

<p>One of the key goals of the project is to remove barriers to

interoperability. Samba is a software package that gives network

administrators flexibility and freedom in setup, configuration, choice

of systems, and equipment. Samba is released under the GPL.</p>
