Line 8: Line 11:
 * JACK Audio Connection Kit
 * X resolution change
 * multiple monitor support
 * kernel 2.6
 * Some tool or instructions to make it easier to set up a working user on a nest/dock so as not to run as root all the time (better security). - GW
 * '''Invade windows''' - with NTFS write support now available it should be a priority to get it working to invade all those machines running XP/Vista & show the users how slow that is in comparison to d:b.
 * screen wish: 800x480
 * pxe client boot. like ClusterKnoppix does.
 * rdesktop, vnc, nx, etc. like dls.nexedi.org
 * OSD & remote control burn vcd/dvd from handycam
 * ALSA 1.0.8, for better sound module support (specifically the Motif R and a number of USB keyboards)
 * something similar to ltsp, easy configuration of remote X server-terminals architecture
 * What about if I could install a new application on my hard-disk and then burn a new Dynebolic Bootable CD including it?
  * that can probably be UnionFS, help is welcome to set that up -jrml
 * kernel 2.6 in dyne:II
  * Necessary kernel patch "OpenMosix" is not available for kernel versions above 2.4.x -martin
  * The FATX driver for Linux 2.6 is broken: serious Linux distributions for XBoxes must still use the 2.4 kernel. When they come out with Dynebolic 2, we'll lose XBox support for FATX formatted partitions (if the XBox has cromwell instead, you could wipe the drive clean and format it all as an ext3 filesystem).
   * Broken as of when? They work fine for many people.
 * Drivers (hardware support) for:
 * WebCam Go (Creative Labs). Driver: [[http://go.lamarinapunto.com/modules/news/|w9968cf]] -axeloide
 * Wacom Graphire II tablet mouse - I can't use dynebolic at all as I only have the tablet: X-Evian includes support for this already so I suspect drivers are easilyavailable.
  * updates to X will support this.
 * Prism54 wireless chipset, http://prism54.org, included in kernel 2.6.5 :) (though still unclear whether firmware is free software)
 * Atmel wireless chipset, http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net
 * vloopback (see http://veejay.sourceforge.net/mini_howto.html) vloopback lets you use software to feed a application that only takes v4l inputs. (can be found at http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice)
 * SAA7134 Chipset (see http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/saa7134.html)
 * ZD1201 Zydas USB Wireless chispet - cheap and good for external USB antenna wifi mounts http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net/ erisian
 * Instant webserver, e.g. XAMPP (Apache+MySQL+PHP+Perl) or monkeyd
 * * looks like there is already boa, but no obvious documentation
 * Wiki, e.g. UseModWiki or Kwiki (run on Perl) / PhpWiki or PmWiki (run on PHP)
 * Software for an image-gallery, e.g. HTMLAlbum or Qdig "Quick Digital Image Gallery"
 * Network-Tools: nmap (also in menu)
 * pdf-viewer (also in menu) '''present!''' (''xpdf'') but needs to be in the menu
 * Some more small games, e.g. Collapse (http://wiki.tcl.tk/10287), Spider Solitaire (http://wiki.tcl.tk/11317)
  * Or better yet, just bundle in PySol.
 * For each application, at least one matching datafile / document / picture / music etc. (e.g. hydrogen plays right away, but not soundtracker or terminatorx)
 * Utility for syncing a palm-pda, e.g. pilot-link or xnotes, see http://www.graphics-muse.com/xnotes/ug-palmos.html
 * Xsupplicant - An open source implementation of IEEE 802.1x authentication tool- http://open1x.sourceforge.net/
 * '''System to manage modules on a docked system.''' Have experimented with having a directory (''park'') to keep unwanted modules in (un-needed modules hog RAM). At the moment I have just used Midnight Commander to move modules between the /modules & the /park folders. Perhaps a nice frontend to manage listing, parking & unparking modules with a reboot button as well? Ultimately the means to load/unload modules on a running sytem :)
 * Support for Power PC chipsets
Line 14: Line 48:
 * Sweep, audio processor [http://sweep.sf.net/]
   * Sweep has a problem: it keeps all of the soundfile in RAM (or swap),
whereas rezound uses swapfiles of its own in the same directory as the audio file.
In a typical dynebolic situation, the user has audio files on a big (windows) hard disk partition, but no swap,
so sweep would not work on large files.
Sweep is built with the GNU-head philosophy that lack of physical memory is a hardware problem : ( -martin
   * It also can't play audio continuuosly - the audio cuts out briefly when the display flips from page to page,
even when you run it as root. -martin
   * The user-interface is prettier than rezound. Do we care? -martin
   * The scratching feature is infantile. TerminatorX does this better. -martin
 * GNUsound, audio processor [http://gnusound.sf.net/]
 * Litestream, audio streaming server [http://www.litestream.org/]
 * Rexima, commandline volume mixer [http://rus.members.beeb.net/rexima.html]
   * why? it does nothing that aumix doesn't do. -martin
 * Rivendell, a radio broadcast solution [http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/]

=== With JACK support ===
 * CheeseTracker, tracker [http://www.reduz.com.ar/cheesetronic/index.php?section=2]
 * Hydrogen, drum machine [http://hydrogen.sf.net/]
 * SpiralSynth Modular, nice modular synthy thingy [http://www.pawfal.org/Software/SSM/]

=== Only useful when JACK is available ===
 * Ardour, hard disc recorder [http://ardour.sf.net/]
 * Creox, a real time sound processor, [http://www.uid0.sk/zyzstar/?creox]
 * Freqtweak, super cool frequency band mangler [http://freqtweak.sf.net/]
 * JACK-Rack, LADSPA effectbox [http://pkl.net/~node/jack-rack.html/]
 * qjackctl, extremely handy JACK controller [http://qjackctl.sf.net/]
 * xmms-jack, allows xmms to play over JACK [http://xmms-jack.sf.net/]
 * SuperCollider, real time audio programming language [http://supercollider.sf.net/]
   * This is still in cvs, but already quite usable, Linux version will probably be in cvs for a long long while,
     so it would be kewl to include it anyway, oh and there's already a Debian package somewhere)

 * TuxGuitar, a tab editor for those guitarreros who don´t know notes http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/

 * Creox, a real time sound processor, http://www.uid0.sk/zyzstar/?creox, it's really nice as a guitar effector, and is easier to use than for instance jack-rack.
 * SuperCollider, real time audio programming language http://supercollider.sf.net/
  * This is still in cvs, but already quite usable, GNU/Linux version will probably be in cvs for a long long while, so it would be kewl to include it anyway, oh and there's already a Debian package somewhere. Including it will be a great way to attract hurds of enthusiastic Mac OS X musicians :)
 * '''Qsynth''' - frontend for fluidsynth. Compiles & runs on dyne with no added dependencies. Is small mature & stable.
 * '''Muse''' - (same name as Jaromil's but a different project) an audio/midi sequencer. Great interface & really nice flexible mixer. Runs with no added dependencies. Handles soundfonts using fluidsynth. Slackware package worked great on dyne 2.4.2 [ http://www.muse-sequencer.org/ ] Have compiled & made a module for d:b so it works.
 * '''Isomaster''' - gui for editing iso images. Provides an easy way to make simple modifications to a d:b iso such as adding/removing modules or extracting & editing configuration files such as dyne.cfg. Just need to edit the install prefix in the makefile & it easily compiles & installs into a dyne module with no added dependencies needed.
 * Milkytracker [ http://www.milkytracker.net ] , a FT2 compatible open source tracker.
* Alsa-firmware
