FOSS for students

08-21-2008 11:00 AM
Whether you're a high school student or just starting out with your college coursework, the free software community has provided a wide range of solutions to make life easier. Browsing the package repository of my Linux distribution led me to applications for everything from gene sequencing to particle physics, but there are a few real gems I think any student could benefit from, including math and chemistry tools such as TiLP, wxMaxima, Kalzium, Gnome Chemistry Utils, and OpenOffice.org Math.

NAME

     pygs -- the PYthon Gateway Script

SYNOPSIS

     pygs -t recipient@domain1 -s sender@domain2 [-e envelope@domain3] [-d] [-T] [-V] [-l logfile] [-w whitelist] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

     NOTE: this man page is to be continued :)

     pygs read from stdin a nntp article, sending it to recipient@domain1 a rfc822 compliant email setting Resent-Sender: sender@domain2 and enve-
     lope envelope@domain3 if exists, else sender@domain2.

OPTIONS

EXAMPLES

     There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg

     I created mailgate user (moderator of local.moderated ng).  Every article posted in local.moderated is sent to mailgate, in its .procmailrc
     I've put:

     :0 bhc  * ^To: *local-moderated | $HOME/pygs -t kalfa@localhost -e mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it -s 'cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it'

     where kalfa@localhost is the recipient (it usually is a mailing list)

     an header extract from kalfa@localhost mbox:

     From mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it
     From: whosentnntparticle@domain4
     To: kalfa@localhost
     Resent-Sender: cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it

     note that sender and envelope are different. rfc822 says that Sender: have to be a human user (not a program or similia). envelope can mailgate user.
