check a Linux second extended file system [34]

A statically-linked version of the ext2 filesystem checker. This may be of some help to you if your filesystem gets corrupted enough to break the shared libraries used by the dynamically linked checker. This binary takes much more space than its dynamic counterpart located in e2fsprogs, though. You may want to install a statically-linked shell as well, to be able to run this program if something like your C library gets corrupted. [3]

The e2fsprogs package contains a number of utilities for creating, checking, modifying and correcting any inconsistencies in second extended (ext2) filesystems. E2fsprogs contains e2fsck (used to repair filesystem inconsistencies after an unclean shutdown), mke2fs (used to initialize a partition to contain an empty ext2 filesystem), debugfs (used to examine the internal structure of a filesystem, to manually repair a corrupted filesystem or to create test cases for e2fsck), tune2fs (used to modify filesystem parameters) and most of the other core ext2fs filesystem utilities. You should install the e2fsprogs package if you need to manage the performance of an ext2 filesystem. [4]

The EXT2 file system utilities and libraries. EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the main filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining EXT2 filesystems, and the generic 'fsck' wrapper. [3]

/eb's*-dik/, /eb'see`dik/, or /eb'k*-dik/ n. [abbreviation, Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code] An alleged character set used on IBM dinosaurs. It exists in at least six mutually incompatible versions, all featuring such delights as non-contiguous letter sequences and the absence of several ASCII punctuation characters fairly important for modern computer languages (exactly which characters are absent varies according to which version of EBCDIC you're looking at). IBM adapted EBCDIC from punched card code in the early 1960s and promulgated it as a customer-control tactic (see connector conspiracy), spurning the already established ASCII standard. Today, IBM claims to be an open-systems company, but IBM's own description of the EBCDIC variants and how to convert between them is still internally classified top-secret, burn-before-reading. Hackers blanch at the very name of EBCDIC and consider it a manifestation of purest evil. See also fear and loathing. [7]

Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Interchange Code [95]

A character set coding cheme that represents 256 standard characters. IBM mainframes use EBCDIC coding, while personal computers use ASCII coding. Networks that link personal computers to IBM mainframes must include a translating device to mediate between the two systems. [39]

an audio effects pedal application Using ecasound libraries, this program provides a real-time effects pedal simulated in an X screen. It can read from the audio device, and output to an audio device in real time, or can process wave files. It can work very flexibly. For more complex interface, see ecawave, and qtecawave. For command-line addicts, this is not the way to go, go for ecasound. It can apply any ladspa plugin to the audio data. [3]

Fast, Flexible Mailing List Manager Ecartis is a powerful mailing list manager in the tradition of listserv but with an open architecture and free source (GPL license). It has some features not found in Majordomo. One of the most interesting things in Ecartis is plugin module system; many functions are implemented as dynamically-loadable modules. You may also want to check out the ecartis-cgi program, which provides a web-based front-end for your Ecartis mailing lists. [3]

Multitrack-capable audio recorder and effect processor Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. As most functionality is located in shared libraries, creating alternative user-interfaces is easy. A versatile console mode interface is included in the package. [3]

graphical audio file editor Ecawave is a simple graphical audio file editor. The user-interface is based on Qt libraries, while almost all audio functionality is taken directly from ecasound libraries. As ecawave is designed for editing large audio files, all processing is done direct-to-disk. Simple waveform caching is used to speed-up file operations. Ecawave supports all audio file formats and effect algorithms provided by ecasound libraries. This includes ALSA and OSS soundcard support and common file formats like wav, cdr, raw, aiff, mp3, etc. [3]

Ed is a line-oriented text editor, used to create, display, and modify text files (both interactively and via shell scripts). For most purposes, ed has been replaced in normal usage by full-screen editors (Emacs and vi, for example). Ed was the original UNIX editor and may be used by some programs. However, the more modern text editors are recommended for general use. [93]

n. "ed is the standard text editor." Line taken from original the Unix manual page on ed, an ancient line-oriented editor that is by now used only by a few Real Programmers, and even then only for batch operations. The original line is sometimes uttered near the beginning of an emacs vs. vi holy war on Usenet, with the (vain) hope to quench the discussion before it really takes off. Often followed by a standard text describing the many virtues of ed (such as the small memory footprint on a Timex Sinclair, and the consistent (because nearly non-existent) user interface). [7]

The classic unix line editor ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files. red is a restricted ed: it can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. [3]

Exterior Gateway Protocol (RFC 904) [95]

is a protocol for exchanging routing information between two neighbour gateway hosts (each with its own router) in a network of autonomous systems. EGP is commonly used between hosts on the Internet to exchange routing table information. The routing table consists a list of known routers, the addresses they can reach, and a cost metric associated with the path to each router so that the best available route is chosen. Each router pols its neighbour at intervals between 120 and 480 seconds and the neighbour responds by sening its complete routing table. EGP-2 is the latest version of EGP. A more recent exterior gateway protocol, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), provides additional capabilites. [82]

Entry Level System ??? (Novell, Netware) [95]

The Linux Society Distro, eLSD, was announced September 21, 2002. Derived from Devil-Linux, eLSD is a highly secure CD boot only OS. It's currently available in three versions: 0.1 - Devil-Linux offered as a build and burn kit. 0.2 - This version begins to make changes towards the eLSD goals by creating a bigger divide between the initrd/linuxrc boot and the init/boot in the OS. It also boots w/o the floppy that includes the /etc filesystem. 0.3 - This version actually converts Devil-Linux into an optional hard drive boot OS. The boot process occurs entirely in the initrd phase and then accesses the harddrive. This kit offers a robust kernel, two custom initrds -- one that boots to busybox/tinylogin -- and grub and parted support. A CD-based distribution. [33]

HTTP server that runs on Emacsen. Elserv is an HTTP server which runs on Emacs, as a background process. Since Emacs does not support server sockets, Elserv runs dedicated server process (ruby script) as a backend process and communicate with it to provide a server feature on Emacs. [3]

A much improved "vi" editor with syntax highlighting. Elvis is a clone of vi/ex, the standard UNIX editor. Elvis supports nearly all of the vi/ex commands, in both visual mode and ex mode. Elvis adds support for multiple files, multiple windows, a variety of display modes, on-line help, and other miscellaneous extensions. Because of its html mode, and it ability to do http and ftp, it can now also be used as a poor man's web browser! Elvis provides color syntax highlighting, with syntax modes for c, c++, java, awk, makefiles, perl, postscript, pascal, sh, tcl, vrml, html, diffs, man pages, and fortran. If all this isn't enough for you, it is easy to add new syntax modes (additions are welcome!). Elvis also has a special hex editing mode for directly editing binary data. This version of elvis also includes ctags and ref, for quickly navigating about your source code. [3]

Tiny vi compatible editor for the base system. Elvis-tiny is based on a 1991 Minix version of elvis. You should install another vi-editor (such as "elvis", "nvi" or "vim") if you want a full featured vi editor. [3]

I/O elevator tuner [34]

Elx combines the ease and familiarity of Windows with the indisputable power and robustness of LINUX. Elx does not expect you to change or re-learn the way you've been using your PCs. While features of Elx are far superior to Windows in all ways, they are presented and treated in a similar way (better in some cases) and all this resting unshakably on a rock solid foundation, the LINUX. [33]

Script language for automating HTTP requests Elza is a set of perl scripts which can be used as an interpreter for automating requests on web pages. It can extract dynamic URLs from a page, handle forms, cookies, HTTP authentication, redirects / refreshes, etc. [3]

/ee'maks/ n. [from Editing MACroS] The ne plus ultra of hacker editors, a programmable text editor with an entire LISP system inside it. It was originally written by Richard Stallman in TECO under ITS at the MIT AI lab; AI Memo 554 described it as "an advanced, self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time display editor". It has since been reimplemented any number of times, by various hackers, and versions exist that run under most major operating systems. Perhaps the most widely used version, also written by Stallman and now called "GNU EMACS" or GNUMACS, runs principally under Unix. (Its close relative XEmacs is the second most popular version.) It includes facilities to run compilation subprocesses and send and receive mail or news; many hackers spend up to 80% of their tube time inside it. Other variants include GOSMACS, CCA EMACS, UniPress EMACS, Montgomery EMACS, jove, epsilon, and MicroEMACS. (Though we use the original all-caps spelling here, it is nowadays very commonly 'Emacs'.) Some EMACS versions running under window managers iconify as an overflowing kitchen sink, perhaps to suggest the one feature the editor does not (yet) include. Indeed, some hackers find EMACS too heavyweight and baroque for their taste, and expand the name as 'Escape Meta Alt Control Shift' to spoof its heavy reliance on keystrokes decorated with bucky bits. Other spoof expansions include 'Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping' (from when that was a lot of core), 'Eventually malloc()s All Computer Storage', and 'EMACS Makes A Computer Slow' (see recursive acronym). See also vi. [7]

A UNIX-based text editor that is sometimes configured as the default editor on UNIX systems. Programmed in LISP, emacs is an excellent hacker's tool, but can be a nightmare for users accustomed to user-friendly word processing programs. [39]

Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news and more without leaving the editor. This package includes the libraries you need to run the Emacs editor, so you need to install this package if you intend to use Emacs. You also need to install the actual Emacs program package (emacs-nox or emacs-X11). Install emacs-nox if you are not going to use the X Window System; install emacs-X11 if you will be using X. [4]

Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting, modeless text editor. Emacs contains special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability to read mail, news, and more without leaving the editor. [93]

Emacs is different things to different people. Depending who you ask, you'll could get any of the following responses: Text Editor, Mail Client, News Reader, Word Processor, Religion, Integrated Development Environment, Whatever you want it to be!, But for our purposes, let's just pretend it's a text editor--an amazingly flexible text editor. We'll dig deeper into the question later on. Emacs was written by Richard Stallman (founder of the Free Software Foundation: http://www.fsf.org/ and the GNU project http://www.gnu.org/) and he still maintains it today. Emacs is one of the most popular and powerful text editors used on Linux (and Unix). It is second in popularity only to vi. It is known for it huge feature set, ability to be easily customized, and lack of bugs. It's large feature set and ability to be customized actually are the result of how Emacs was designed and implemented. Without going into all the details, I'll simply point out that Emacs isn't 'just an editor''. It is an editor written mostly in the programming language Lisp. At the core of Emacs is a full-featured Lisp interpreter written in C. Only the most basic and low-level pieces of Emacs are written in C. The majority of the editor is actually written in Lisp. So, in a sense, Emacs has an entire programming language 'built in'' which you can use to customize, extend, and change its behavior. Emacs is also one of the oldest editors around. The fact that is has been used by thousands of programmers over the past 20 (?) years means that there are many add-on packages available. These add-ons allow you to make Emacs do things that Stallman had probably never dreamed possible when he first began work on Emacs. More on that in a later section. There are many other web sites and documents which give a better overview of Emacs, its history, and related matters. Rather than attempt to reproduce much of that here, I suggest that you check out some of the places listed in Section Other Resources section of this document. [13]

The extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. Emacs has special code editing modes, a scripting language (elisp), and comes with many packages for doing mail, news. [32]

Emacs-X11 includes the Emacs text editor program for use with the XWindow System (it provides support for the mouse and other GUIelements). Emacs-X11 will also run Emacs outside of X, but it has a larger memory footprint than the 'non-X' Emacs package (emacs-nox).Install emacs-X11 if you're going to use Emacs with the X Window System. You should also install emacs-X11 if you're going to run Emacs both with and without X (it will work fine both ways). You'll also need to install the emacs package in order to run Emacs. [4]

The GNU Emacs editor. (Dynamic Loading supported) GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This binary supports the Dynamic Loading architecture(dl). If you want to use dynamic loadable modules, you should use this instead of pure emacs20 package. Dynamic Loadable Module examples are Canna/Wnn input method support. (emacs-dl-canna/emacs-dl-wnn package) And some dirty patch applied. Dirty means such as, Rejected by upstream authors (difficult for merge), Code from other emacsen, like XEmacs/Meadow/obsolete Mule2.3, or backported. [3]

GNU Emacs LISP (.el) files. GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This package contains the elisp sources for the convenience of users, saving space in the main package for small systems. [3]

Common facilities for all emacsen. This package contains code that is needed by all the (x)emacs packages. [3]

speech output interface to Emacs Emacspeak is a speech output system that will allow someone who cannot see to work directly on a UNIX system. Emacspeak is built on top of Emacs. Once you start emacs with emacspeak loaded, you get spoken feedback for everything you do. Your mileage will vary depending on how well you can use Emacs. There is nothing that you cannot do inside Emacs :-). This package includes speech servers written in tcl to support the DECtalk Express and DECtalk MultiVoice speech synthesizers. For other synthesizers, look for separate speech server packages such as emacspeak-ss. [3]

Emacspeak speech server for several synthesizers emacspeak-ss is an interface between Emacspeak and any of several speech synthesizers: DoubleTalk PC version 5.20 or later (internal), DoubleTalk LT version 4.20 or later (serial port version), LiteTalk version 4.20 or later, Braille 'n Speak, Type 'n Speak, Braille Lite, Apollo 2 from Dolphin, or Accent SA. If you have a DoubleTalk PC, you also need the dtlk device driver - either the module or compiled into your kernel. (Note that versions 2.2.16 and earlier of the Linux kernel sources have a bug in the dtlk device driver.) [3]

Electronic messages (usually plain text or hypertext) sent from one recipient to another over a network. Email is sent using a mail transfer agent and is read using a mail user agent (or email client).

Messages, usually text, sent from one person to another via computer. E-mail can also be sent automatically to a large number of addresses. [5]

The Embedded Debian project produced a very useful pre-packaged toolchain, and a tool for configuring filesystems (emdebsys, aka CML2+OS). Many groups and companies around the world are using the embedian toolchain for ARM which has proved robust and effective. Emdebsys has not been widely used as it is not quite mature enough for production use. [33]

Freedom is a bootable Linux CD, to help new users see the power of Linux. It is built with BBLCD, WhiteDwarf, and Slackware packages. It works on PCs and laptops, supports wireless PCMCIA cards and almost any network, video, and sound card, and features software from many open source projects such as fvwm95 ( familiar windows 95 look and feel) gftp, GTK-Gnutella, centerICQ, Dillo, sylpheed, airsnort, SSH, and more. The initial release, version 1, was released December 15, 2002. A CD-based distribution. [33]
