<h2><a href="https://phpmyadmin.net/">phpMyAdmin</a></h2>

<p>

phpMyAdmin is a free and open source web interface for the MySQL and

MariaDB database systems. Frequently used operations

(managing databases, tables, columns, relations, indexes, users,

permissions, etc) can be performed via the user interface, while you

still have the ability to directly execute any SQL statement.</p>

<p>Since its first release in September 1998, phpMyAdmin has been adopted

by many web host providers, and has translations underway for more than

seventy languages.</p>

<h2><a href="http://pypy.org/">PyPy</a></h2>

<p>The PyPy project aims to provide:</p>

<ul>

<li>a common translation and support framework for producing

implementations of dynamic languages, emphasizing a clean

separation between language specification and implementation

aspects.</li>

<li>a compliant, flexible and fast implementation of the Python Language

using the above framework to enable new advanced features without having

to encode low level details into it.</li></ul>

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

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

        virtualizer. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes 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>

<h2><a href="https://www.samba.org/samba/">Samba</a></h2>

<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>

and move them along. Spec-Ops puts experts in the room who understand 

the technology, who know about the process of creating standards, and 

who have no specific personal or corporate agenda — then lets them get 

on with it. Spec-Ops also develops free and open source software 

(licensed under BSD-style licenses) to test and implement these 

standards, in order to speed adoption and ensure their long term 

viability and success.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.uclibc.org/">uCLibc</a></h2>

<p>uClibc (pronounced yew-see-lib-see) is a C library

for developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller than the GNU

C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc also work

perfectly with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc to uClibc

typically involves just recompiling the source code. uClibc even

supports shared libraries and threading. It currently runs on standard

Linux and MMU-less (also known as uClinux) systems with support for

alpha, ARM, cris, i386, i960, h8300, m68k, mips/mipsel, PowerPC, SH,

SPARC, and v850 processors.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.winehq.org/">Wine</a></h2>

<p>Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of

X and Unix.  It is a compatibility layer for running Windows

programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a

completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API

consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use

native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a

development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as

a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on
