1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The GNU/Linux OS has evolved from its origins in hackerdom to a full blown UNIX, capable of rivaling any commercial UNIX. It now provides an inexpensive base to build a great workstation. It has shed its hardware dependencies, having been ported to DEC Alphas, Sparcs, PowerPCs, and many others. This potential speed boost along with its networking support will make it great for workstation clusters. As a workstation it allows for all sorts of research and development, including artificial intelligence and artificial life.

The purpose of this Howto is to provide a source to find out about various software packages, code libraries, and anything else that will help someone get started working with (and find resources for) artificial intelligence, artificial life, etc. All done with GNU/Linux specifically in mind.

1.2 What's New

• v1.9 - One new entry (Bond) and fixed the link below to the dynamic list.
• v1.8 - Cleaned up bad links, finding new ones where possible and eliminating those that seem to have disappeared. Quite a few new entries as well.
• v1.7 - Another 9 new entries, a bunch of links fixed, and a few items removed that have vanished from the net.
• v1.6 - 9 new entries, a couple link fixes and one duplicate item removed.
• v1.5 - 26 new entries plus a couple link fixes.
• v1.4 - 10 new updates and fixed some lisp-related links.
• v1.3 - Putting a dent in the backlog, I added 30+ new entries today and submitted it to the LDP.
• No record for anything previous. :(

For a specific list of new entries you can find psuedo-dynamic list at http://zhar.net/gnu-linux/howto/new. I run a script which updates this each time I upload a new version. Its a good place to go get an overview of the new additions.

1.3 Where to find this software

All this software should be available via the net (ftp || http). The links to where to find it will be provided in the description of each package. There will also be plenty of software not covered on these pages (which is usually platform independent) located on one of the resources listed on the links section of the Master Site (given above).

1.4 Updates and comments

If you find any mistakes, know of updates to one of the items below, or have problems compiling any of the applications, please mail me at: [email protected] and I'll see what I can do.

If you know of any AI/Alife applications, class libraries, etc. Please email me about them. Include your name, ftp and/or http sites where they can be found, plus a brief overview/commentary on the software (this info would make things a lot easier on me... but don't feel obligated ;).

I know that keeping this list up to date and expanding it will take quite a bit of work. So please be patient (I do have other projects). I hope you will find this document helpful.
