nut 9.19
nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.
Release Notes: The program now distinguishes between zero values and no data in the USDA database, and uses this information to produce a new screen that lists foods high in some nutrient while minimizing some other nutrient.

It is compatible with the 2.4.25 kernel, ebtables, and brouter (bridging router). It also comes with denial of service protection.
Release Notes: The complete feature set was ported to the Linux 2.6.5 kernel. Installation is now much simpler as no patching is required. This release also allows for stable use of the arbitrator with ebtables, which had some lock-up problems on the 2.4.25 kernel. The code base was re-arranged into one file with minimal kernel hooks, thus providing a stable and easy-to-use code base for further extensions.
