X/OS Linux is derived from the Free/Open Source rpm packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) under the requirements set forth by their trademark policy.

X/OS has spent considerable effort to avoid using Red Hats trademarks in any way that would imply an association with or sponsorship by Red Hat.

After some delay, the final release of X/OS Linux 4.0 is now available to the public.

The X/OS Linux team has spent considerable effort to assure the label enterprise-grade Linux for this milestone release. With the simultaneous availability of X/OS Linux 4.0 for x86 and x86_64 processor architectures, it delivers the latest best-of-breed Free and Open Source software for both 32- and 64-bit platforms.

Highlights include the 2.6 Linux kernel featuring numerous enhancements over the previous 2.4 version, Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to apply more granular security policies, improved storage capabilities supporting file systems of up to 8TB and more.

The Global File System (GFS) and Cluster Suite software is included in this release to ease the task of creating and managing advanced cluster configurations, and is available as an extra option during installation. This powerful set of tools provides seamless scalability of applications such as databases, web servers and high-performance computing clusters with GFS enabling nodes to simultaneously read and write to a single shared filesystem.

Next to providing an advanced server platform, X/OS Linux 4.0 adds various enhancements to the desktop increasing usability with greatly improved office productivity tools, plug-and-play USB device recognition and power management supporting the ACPI standard.

In addition to compatibility with the de facto distribution for deploying Linux in the enterprise, X/OS Linux strides to include various other useful packages and tools that conform to the standard for mature and robust enterprise-grade software. One example is Xfce, an extra option in addition to Gnome and KDE, offering a light-weight desktop environment suited for use on low-end or thin client systems.

Adaptive Contrast Enhancement is a GIMP plugin which can enhance the contrast of images.

The basic "Stretch Contrast" operation takes in the whole image at once, and if there is a white pixel anywhere in the image and a black pixel anywhere in the image, it figures the contrast is already as good as can be. But Adaptive Contrast Enhancement works to increase the contrast locally, and brings out details that most wide-sweeping contrast-enhancements pass over.

Whats New in This Release:

· This is just another development-libgimp-compatibility-thing.
· There is more interesting work going on for the upcoming 0.7, but its not quite ready yet.

This versitle program is designed to help maintain various checklists, such as grocery lists, packing for vacation, or searching for weapons of mass destruction.
Once an item is completed (or found), simply check it off the list.

Includes Export/Import functionality to Memopad, list item sorting, and preferences which allow you to customize your view and allow blank list items.

Future Enhancements will include:
- The ability to beam lists directly from the app
- Instead of having to import / export from memopad to beam
- List and item color preferences
- Private and masked lists
- And any other suggestions I might receive.

Requirements:

· Palm OS v3.5

Speech Enhancement description
This software offers you the possibility of using a graphic equalizer for removing the stationary hindrances. Speech Enhancement represents a suite of applications that you may use when you want to imrpove the output of your microphone recording.

Single-microphone solution
This can be used for reduction of external hindrances and broadband color noises in speech signal. Controlled level of noises suppression in speech is up to 60 dB.

GritTecs Noise cancellation (NC) technology of single-microphone solution is used for reducing the external hindrances and background noises in speech signal. You can use this software for the selection of speech signal and for the selection of background noises.

Multi-microphone solution
Use this feature when noise from many different sources needs to be canceled. In its simplest form the technique uses two microphone solution.
Speaker is recorded synchronous with the source of hindrance (noise). The first microphone bases near by speaker, but the second one bases near by source of hindrance or noise.

Microphone Array solution
You can use this for reduction of external hindrances and ambient noises in speech source signal. In its simplest form the technique uses two array microphone configurations. By using acoustical beam-forming techniques, the microphone array can "focus" on the speakers position.

Here are some key features of "Speech Enhancement":

· High quality of speech enhancement;
· Low level of speech distortion;
· Operation with low level SNR;
· Separation as cleaned speech signal, so and background noise;
· Three modes adaptation to background noises;
· Controlled level of noise suppression in speech, including broadband color noises up to 60 dB;
· Possibility of using a graphic equalizer for removing the stationary hindrances;
· Easy integration with target applications;
· Fast adaptation to changing of external noises;
· Controlled level of noise suppression in speech;
· Support 2 microphones configurations;
· Directional microphones: unidirectional configuration;
· Distance between microphones not less 4 cm;
· Far-field pickup up to 2 meters;
· Noise suppression of stationary noise up to 15 db and up to 18 db for non-stationary noise


Requirements:

· Signal format: 16-bits linear
· 6 kHz, ..., 48 kHz sampling rate


Limitations:

· 30-day trial period
