the GPL license.
Some of the main features are: * Continuing interrupted
up-/downloads
* Managing different FTP sites
* Modifiable Commands
* Keep-Alive-System
* Timeout detection
* Firewall support
* SOCKS4/5 and HTTP 1.1 proxy support
* SSL support (secure connections)
* SFTP support
* Upload/Download queue
* Drag&Drop support
The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate
files on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy
of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria
(such as a file name pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes
command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file
names generated by the find command).
You should install findutils because it includes tools that are very
useful for finding things on your system.
gnump3d is a simple server that allows you to stream MP3s and OGG
Vorbis files across a network.
Gramofile is a program to digitize audio records. Through the
application of several filters, it is possible to accomplish a
significant reduction of disturbances like ticks and scratches. Data is
saved in WAV format, making it easy to record on CD with programs like
cdrecord or xcdroast.
A collection of tools and tcl packages for the manipulation and layout
of graphs (as in nodes and edges, not as in bar charts).

Very powerful fax server.
Idep can be used for checking the dependencies of C++ include files. It
offers these features:
- Prints out hierarchy of include files
- Lists the class definitions that are found in each header file
- Detects cyclic dependencies in your include files
- Detects inclusions that could be pruned
Mkid is a simple, fast, high-capacity, and language-independent
identifier database tool. Actually, the term identifier is too
limiting--mkid stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any form,
literal numbers, or ordinary words. Database queries can be issued
from the command line or from within Emacs, serving as an augmented
tags facility.
Linux has always been able to show how much I/O was going on (the bi
and bo columns of the vmstat 1 command).
Iotop is a Python program with a UI similar to top to show on behalf of
which process is the I/O going on.
Two programs--one allows the dumping of resource data and generation of
a skeleton configuration file, the other configures ISA PnP hardware
using a configuration file.

JOE (Joe's Own Editor) is a freeware ASCII editor for UNIX. Joe is
similar to most IBM PC text editors. The keyboard combinations are
similar to WordStar[tm] and Turbo C. Some of Joe's features include:
-full support of termcap and terminfo (useful for device-independent
descriptions to control screen output) -optimized screen refresh like
GNU Emacs (Joe can even be used at 2400 baud) -easy installation with
all features for UNIX integration with vi: a marked block of text can
be filtered through a UNIX command and wherever JOE accepts a filename
parameter, the following can also be substituted:
!command\t\t:to redirect from or to another command
>>filename\t\t:to append onto an existing file
filename,start,size\t:to edit a part of a file or device
-\t\t\t:to use standard input/output
When JOE has several files opened at the same time, each file is
displayed in its own window. Additionally, JOE allows for shell windows
from which the output of the executed commands are saved in a buffer,
automatic filename completion (via TAB), help windows, undo and redo,
and search and replace using regular expressions.
The goal of this game is to move the biggest token to a specific
position. A tutorial and solution hint is available for beginners. The
game is visible as a three-dimensional model with different camera
positions. All movements, including the menus, are physically
calculated.
Different themes, like wood, rock, metal, marble, bubbles, and
painting, are available. Themes influence both the display and the
sound effects. Ambient and Drum & Bass music from Nifflas
(www.nifflas.com) gives the game a unique atmosphere.
GNU libtool is a set of shell scripts to automatically configure UNIX
architectures to build shared libraries in a generic fashion.

LinkChecker checks websites and HTML documents for broken links.
Features are:
* recursive checking
* multithreaded
* output in colored or normal text, HTML, SQL, CSV, XML or a sitemap
graph in different formats
* HTTP/1.1, HTTPS, FTP, mailto:, news:, nntp:, Gopher, Telnet and
local file links support
* restriction of link checking with regular expression filters for
URLs
* proxy support
* username/password authorization for HTTP and FTP
* robots.txt exclusion protocol support
* i18n support
* a command line interface
* a (Fast)CGI web interface (requires HTTP server)
Logwatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go
through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in the
areas that you wish with the detail that you wish.
Mdbtools contains: mdb-dump -- simple hex dump utility for looking at
mdb files mdb-schema -- prints DDL for the specified table mdb-export
-- export table to CSV format mdb-tables -- a simple dump of table
names to be used with shell scripts mdb-header -- generates a C header
to be used in exporting mdb data to a C prog mdb-parsecvs -- generates
a C program given a CSV file made with mdb-export mdb-sql -- demo SQL
engine program mdb-ver -- print version of database
Although this mt program (called mtst) is tailored for SCSI tape
drives, it can also be used with the QIC-02 driver and hopefully with
other Linux tape drivers that use the same ioctls (some of the commands
may not work with all drivers). The stinit program allows the setting
of some SCSI tape parameters.
Open MPI is a project combining technologies and resources from several
other projects (FT-MPI, LA-MPI, LAM/MPI, and PACX-MPI) in order to
build the best MPI library available.
This RPM contains all the tools necessary to compile, link, and run
Open MPI jobs.
PAPI aims to provide the tool designer and application engineer with a
consistent interface and methodology for use of the performance counter
hardware found in most major microprocessors. PAPI enables software
engineers to see, in near real time, the relation between software
performance and processor events.
Class::Inspector allows you to get information about a loaded class. Most
or all of this information can be found in other ways, but they aren't
always very friendly, and usually involve a relatively high level of Perl
wizardry, or strange and unusual looking code. Class::Inspector attempts to
provide an easier, more friendly interface to this information.
*File::HomeDir* is a module for locating the directories that are "owned"
by a user (typicaly your user) and to solve the various issues that arise
trying to find them consistently across a wide variety of platforms.
The end result is a single API that can find your resources on any
platform, making it relatively trivial to create Perl software that works
elegantly and correctly no matter where you run it.
This module provides two main interfaces.
The first is a modern the File::Spec manpage-style interface with a
consistent OO API and different implementation modules to support various
platforms. You are *strongly* recommended to use this interface.
The second interface is for legacy support of the original 0.07 interface
that exported a 'home()' function by default and tied the '%~' variable.
It is generally not recommended that you use this interface, but due to
back-compatibility reasons they will remain supported until at least 2010.
The '%~' interface has been deprecated. Documentation was removed in 2009,
Unit test were removed in 2011, usage will issue warnings from 2013, and
the interface will be removed entirely in 2015 (in line with the general
Perl toolchain convention of a 10 year support period for legacy APIs that
are potentially or actually in common use).
Platform Neutrality
In the Unix world, many different types of data can be mixed together
in your home directory (although on some Unix platforms this is no
longer the case, particularly for "desktop"-oriented platforms).
On some non-Unix platforms, separate directories are allocated for
different types of data and have been for a long time.
When writing applications on top of *File::HomeDir*, you should thus
always try to use the most specific method you can. User documents
should be saved in 'my_documents', data that supports an application
but isn't normally editing by the user directory should go into
'my_data'.
On platforms that do not make any distinction, all these different
methods will harmlessly degrade to the main home directory, but on
platforms that care *File::HomeDir* will always try to Do The Right
Thing(tm).
This module provides GNU-style option processing for Perl 5 scripts,
with both long and short options.
ConfigFile parses simple configuration files and store its values in an
anonymous hash reference. The syntax of the configuration file is quite
simple:
1. This is a comment VALUE_ONE = foo VALUE_TWO = $VALUE_ONE/bar
VALUE_THREE = The value contains a \# (hash). # This is a comment.
COMPOSED_VALUE[one] = The first component of a clustered value
COMPOSED_VALUE[two] = The second component of a clustered value
