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.

pygn2m

pygn2m(1)						    Python Gateway news to mail 						 pygn2m(1)

NAME

       pygn2m - Python Gateway news to mail

SYNOPSIS

       pygs -t recipient@domain1 -s sender@domain2 [ -e envelope@domain3 ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state.  try -h option for more detailed option.

       pygn2m  reads from stdin a nntp article, sending it to recipient@domain1 a rfc822 compliant email setting Resent-Sender: sender@domain2 and
       envelope envelope@domain3 if exists, else sender@domain2.

       If pygn2m reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to an article (ie in a spool),  so  pygn2m  will
       open and read it.

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 (usually a mailing list)

       Here is 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.
