riflemans Linux stuff

*This is old! There's some slightly more recent stuff here *

Ok - no fancy stuff here, just delivering the goods. :)

Here are a few screenshots of Linux/X showing off a few interesting
features, such as:

  • Fvwm, the most popular window manager for Linux.
  • Wine the Microsoft Windoze emulator.
  • Dosemu (guess :)
  • Fvwm95, a hacked Fvwm with a Windoze-95 look and feel.
  • A very nice hack on fvwm by Rasterman

    I'll add more as things surface.

    Another offering, featuring xripple (water effect at the bottom)
    Rxvts with a nice BG! :)
    Showing off Xaw-XPM and Fvwm-XPM(the predecessor to enlightenment).

    Here is a nice screenshot showing 'Enlightened' motif stuff..Motif-XPM as it were :)
    The X resources file for this particular Netscape is here. The 2 pixmaps are rock2.xpm and rock2a.xpm.

    Mixer update


    I'm currently working on an (as yet) unnamed mixer that follows the philosphy of loadmeter - uses very little screen real-estate, coded in Xlib, small, fast and lean. Above is a screenshot of it so far. It sits very nicely alongside loadmeter!
    I've got a preliminary version out. Very incomplete but working. The next version might also run on Solaris (not yet though - the soundcard API is very different from Linux).

    Version 0.04 is here with a bug-fix and also adds the cursor-geometry thing that loadmeter has.

    Download Mixer v0.04 (19k)

    Loadmeter - v1.20 also with Solaris support

    Loadmeter is a Linux/Solaris system resource monitor that uses very little memory, and is written using raw Xlib. It has numerous features, all described in the README file.
    Version 1.20 (released on 17/9/98) includes support for Solaris.

    Xaw-XPM

    I've released Xaw-Xpm version 1.1...JOY! The web page for it is here.

    Enjoy!

    XFlame (the 16 bit version)


    Here is a binary of the 16 bit version of Rasters Xflame. There is no source for the 16-bit version available - it has been lost and is not available.

    Cisco router stats CGI script

    This is a script I've written to obtain summarised information on cisco routers and to display it on a web page. It requires perl and the SNMP modules. Example output from it is here.
