This team is all about what's under the hood in a linux OS -hence the photo of Linus Torvalds with with almost nothing on... also of interest to the founder would be how different OS's may approach the same process, etc. hewiak Sep 18

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/ Introduction GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader , which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn. Briefly, a boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel software (such as the Hurd or Linux). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system (e.g.

http://www.nongnu.org/charmap/ Charmap's power lies not just in simply helping to pick characters, but also its display of substantial Unicode data about each character, such as the Unicode name, alias, canonical decomposition, Unicode category, and various representations. With all this, linguaphiles and software developers alike will find Charmap a useful tool. Charmap is by its very nature an international application, and the developers welcome new translations. If you would like to translate Charmap into your native language, please contact the developers.

What is Avahi? ¶ Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol suite. This enables you to plug your laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared. Compatible technology is found in Apple MacOS X (branded Bonjour and sometimes Zeroconf ). Details ... | Definition at Wikipedia

UPower Reference Manual

http://upower.freedesktop.org/docs/
The D-Bus low-level API reference implementation and protocol have been heavily tested in the real world over several years, and are now "set in stone." Future changes will either be compatible or versioned appropriately. The low-level libdbus reference implementation has no required dependencies; the bus daemon's only *required* dependency is an XML parser (expat). Higher-level bindings specific to particular frameworks (Qt, GLib, Java, C#, Python, etc.) add more dependencies, but can make more assumptions and are thus much simpler to use.

The GNU Privacy Guard - GnuPG.org

http://www.gnupg.org/ GnuPG is the GNU project 's complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880 . GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data and communication, features a versatile key management system as well as access modules for all kinds of public key directories. GnuPG, also known as GPG , is a command line tool with features for easy integration with other applications.
It really only makes sense that you would enjoy encryption if you enjoy Linux--you're a geek and you can't help yourself. You love complexity. While the basics of using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption are not all that difficult, Linux's multi-user environment can sometimes challenge your security habits. PGP was originally designed for the masses who use standalone machines rather than networked workstations in their homes. Because you could easily be running your own Internet Service Provider business right from your living room, with numerous users logged into your Linux box, you have to take a few extra precautions to protect your PGP keys. PGP security depends on no one being able to get an unencrypted copy of your secret key. http://www.dsj.net/compedge/pgp4linux.html

Linux treats each task performed on your system as a process, which is assigned a number and a name. You can examine these processes and even stop them. Red Hat provides several tools for examining processes as well as your system performance. Easy monitoring is provided by several GUI tools, like Red Hat's Procman System Monitor. ps Command
