All of it is (at least) free for personal use. The new master page for this document is http://zhar.net/howto/ 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 • v3.0 - New entries: ORTS , FANN , OpenCV , CBR Microprograms , ConceptNet , FreeHAL , 2APL , Alchemy , plop , evolver , PyIE , Pyevolve , txevolver , python-dlp , CompLearn , dbacl , Maximum Entropy Toolkit , pebl , FLiP , Carmen , Orca , ROS , YARP , Neuroph , MLAP book samples , Elefant , Evocosm , Critterding , MRPT , PyBrain , peach , brain , FREVO , Vowpal Wabbit , ERESYE , Recast , EAP , GenePool , Milk , OpenCog , Pattern , CognitiveFoundry , clasp , timbl , MBT , scikits.learn , NeuroLab , Biogenesis , brain-simulator . Torch5 , Encog , Nengo , DEAP and Emergent . Changed the name of the "Traditional" section to Symbolic Systems (GOFAI) . Added new section, Statistical & Machine Learning . Seems someone has resuscitated EMA-XPS . Not very active, but enough to pull out of the dead projects area and place back amounst the living. I also fixed many links and moved quite a few dead projects to Missing & Dead . • v2.4 - 7. Statistical & Machine Learning 2 GNU/Linux AI & Alife HOWTO New entries: Eprover , Player , Logfun , Livingstone2 , Quackle , LingPipe , GATE , Infon Battle Arena , CLARAty , Reverend , Shogun , Nanopond , Polyworld , Fluidiom , NEAT , Framsticks , URBI , RobotFlow , Nero , ffnet , Alloy , Pyke , NuPIC , Simbad , Robodeb , Loom , PowerLoom , tinygp , Curry , JGAP , PyCLIPS , and STELLA . I chopped the Agents section into two sub-sections, one for Software Agents and one for Robotics and Simulators . I play it a bit fast and loose in my deciding what goes into each category, but it is an improvement. MIA found! Cellular the cellular automata programming system. Fixed many bad links and cleaned out missing projects. • v2.3 - New entries: Yampa , pygene , Push , ANNEvolve , dgpf , Golly , IBAL , 3APL , OSCAR , and RobocodeNG . Updated information
