files can be specified on the command line. The
units database has been updated. (The frequently
reported erroneous definition of the astronomical
unit has been fixed.)

modeling. It creates data sets based on a
configuration file and a series of template files,
then runs a model against each data set. It tracks
each model's progress, keeping the total number of

Source: Freshmeat Daily News rlocate is an implementation of the "locate"
command that is always up-to-date. The database
that the original locate uses is usually updated
only once a day, so newer files cannot be located

easier for both developers and users. It doesn't
have detection (yet), but it's very easy to use
and tune, even for small projects. If you want

burden autoconf and friends impose, this is for
you. It has good documentation and a low steep
learning curve, and even has a bit of application
framework in order to ease development.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The spirit behind this release has changed, and it is now far more powerful than before. Unfortunately, this means that the developer has to do a bit more work in order to put his project under it. Documentation should be read in order to know how the new version works.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Install Kernel (ik) is a bash script that installs the Linux kernel and automatically sets up LILO or GRUB. It also saves your kernel configuration each time you do an install. This allows you to restore the newest configuration file when you make a new kernel.
