With AllTray you can dock any application with no native tray icon (like Evolution, Thunderbird, Terminals) into the system tray. A high-light feature is that a click on the 'close' button will minimize back to system tray. It works well with Gnome, KDE, XFCE 4, Fluxbox and WindowMaker. Author: Jochen Baier
B5I2ISO is a very simple utility to convert a BlindWrite BIN image to the standard ISO-9660 format. Author: Salvatore Santagati
Wheeew... finally, after looking for quite sometime... this hack is done. Okay... for those of you who might wonder what this utility for, CCD2ISO is a CloneCD image file to ISO image file converter. As I now move to Linux entirely, I still need some migration, specially for my existing CloneCD images, I want to use them in Linux, and I can't find any converter to convert them to ISO to be mountable by Linux, so I try to make one... Authors: Danny Kurniawan Kerry Harris
The bchunk package contains a UNIX/C rewrite of the BinChunker program. BinChunker converts a CD image in a .bin/.cue format (sometimes .raw/.cue) into a set of .iso and .cdr/.wav tracks. The .bin/.cue format is used by some non-UNIX CD-writing software, but is not supported on most other CD-writing programs.
CDI2ISO is a very simple utility to convert DiscJuggler image to the standard ISO-9660 format. Author: Salvatore Santagati
BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. Background file allocation - missing file space is allocated in the background, and hashes are checked only for pre-existing data. Multitracker addition - .torrent file can now specify multiple trackers Preferences menu - lets you conveniently configure the GUI client Status light - gives you important information about the torrent at a glance
It is a GTK2-based Viewer/Editor for BitTorrent meta files for UNIX operating systems. It is able to get information from tracker(s), check file(s), show detailed information and modify some of it inside .torrent files. The main purpose of GTorrentViewer is to give the ability to see and modify information inside .torrent files without starting any download. Besides, the ability to get seeds and peers for the open torrent, see information from scrape system of the trackers and check the files if you alredy have them. Author: Alejandro Claro
Twindy is a window manager influenced by the workflow of the Tracktion (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/tracktion) DAW software for OSX and Windows. The idea with that software (as I see it) is that everything should be on screen at once - there shouldn't be a mass of windows obscuring each other's contents like you get with other sequencers. Twindy is basically the result of me wondering whether you could use the same basic principle to create a window manager (although it maybe departs from the 'everything on one screen' idea with it's use of tabbed windows). If you're not familiar with Tracktion, Twindy's probably closest to Ion in terms of window managers, but with less flexibility in placing windows, and a bit more eye-candy. Twindy relies heavily on the JUCE (http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce) library to handle graphics, file loading, and pretty much everything else. The version included here (based on v1.42) has been *very slightly* modified by me (search for 'Twindy' comments), so that Twindy gets notified when new windows open. Author: Niall Moody
KDocker will help you dock any application in the system tray. This means you can dock openoffice, xmms, firefox, thunderbolt, eclipse, anything! Just point and click. Works for both KDE and GNOME (In fact it should work for most modern window managers that support NET WM Specification. I believe it works for XFCE, for instance) All you need to do is start KDocker and select an application using the mouse and lo! the application gets docked into the system tray. The application can also be made to dissappear from the task bar. KDocker supports the KDE System Tray Protocol and the System Tray Protocol from freedesktop.org Very few apps have docking capabilities (e.g. Yahoo! and XMMS don't have any). Even if they do, sometimes they are specific to desktops (working on KDE but not on GNOME, and vice versa). KDocker will help you dock any application in the system tray. This means you can dock OpenOffice.org, XMMS, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. Just point and click. It works for KDE, GNOME, XFCE, and probably many more. Author: Girish Ramakrishnan
MDF2ISO is a very simple utility to convert an Alcohol 120% bin image to the standard ISO-9660 format. Author: Salvatore Santagati
pdi2iso is a very simple utility to convert an instant copy bin image to the standard ISO-9660 format. Author: Salvatore Santagati
CCP is a program that reads configuration files and upgrades them. It takes a oldfile (typically the old configuration file currently in use) and a newfile (typically the default new configuration file) and optionally a template (a file which tells ccp how the generated configuration file should look like. It is generated on-the-fly if a template isn't supplied, so it is usually not needed). CCP first reads all the configuration options and values in the new file, then in the old file, then it either generates the template or reads the supplied template file, finally it merges the files into one - creating a new configuration file that has the changes that was made to the old file but also the new options that is included in the new file. CCP is completely independent of the program that created the configuration file, and can be used for many different purposes. For instance it can be used to merge changes between an old user-edited configuration file and a .rpmnew file generated by rpm when a rpm was upgraded. Author: Eskild Hustvedt
Graveman! is a GPL frontend for : * cdrecord * mkisofs * readcd * sox * dvd+rw-format/dvd+rw-tools Graveman! can burn audio cd (wav, ogg, mp3), data cd and dvd, duplicate cd, and clean rewritable cd and dvd. This software use GTK2 library. Authors: Sylvain Cresto
A KDE Panel applet to set brightness of LCD screen Notice that this relies on an external program to get/set the brightness. For instance, I've used: * SmartDimmer http://www.acc.umu.se/~erikw/program/ * NVclock http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/ but it is supposed to work also with others, since you can configure the applet. Author: Lorenzo Bettini
QFaxReader is a monochrome/color multipage .TIFF files visualisation utility designed for viewing faxes.

tolua is a tool that greatly simplifies the integration of C/C++ code with Lua. Based on a 'cleaned' header file, tolua automatically generates the binding code to access C/C++ features from Lua. Using Lua-5.0 API and tag method facilities, the current version automatically maps C/C++ constants, external variables, functions, namespace, classes, and methods to Lua. It also provides facilities to create Lua modules. Author: Waldemar Celes
Email is an ever increasing stream of information. Most people do not have time to read all the email that they might be interested in. This is where lurker can help. After being subscribed to interesting mailing lists, lurker archives all incoming mail into a database. Old mail can also be imported. Once mail is in the database, lurker can help you search the unending noise for those gems you need to read. A web-browser is used to interact with lurker. This makes lurker useful for mailing list administrators, who can deploy lurker on the host of several related lists. It also enables private users to access their lurker installation from anywhere in the world. Lurker is not just another mailing list archiver. It is capable of handling gigabytes of mail without slowing down. Lurker has been designed to scale to support sites with thousands of concurrent users and hundreds of new messages a second. If you run a high-volume mailing list archive, you should seriously consider lurker for this alone. To facilitate finding interesting data, lurker supports: - full keyword search by body, subject, author, ... - a graphical representation of message relationships - charts of the current activity about a topic - searching lists or queries around an estimated time - signature verification to confirm the author - messages markup to find related information As one would expect, lurker also supports file attachments, multiple languages, message threading, gpg key photo ids, a transactional database, automatic timezone detection, render caching, xml customization with xslt and css, multiple front-ends (3-tier deployment), and many other buzz words. Lurker works best with mozilla, internet explorer, konqueror, safarri, opera, and lynx. Other browsers, most notably netscape4, can use lurker, but it will be quite ugly. Lurker has been tested on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, and windows/mingw. However, it is easiest to setup in Debian/GNU Linux. Author: Wesley W. Terpstra
Viewglob is a filesystem visualization add-on for Bash and Zsh when used in windowing environments. It controls a graphical display listing the contents of certain directories, with file selections, which are relevant to the active shell+terminal. The display updates dynamically when the command line or environment of the current shell changes or when the user switches to a different terminal. It can track multiple shells, local and remote. The package has three communicating parts: * vgseer, client: Supervises an interactive shell and keeps track of command line and environment changes. * vgd, server daemon: Mediates information exchange between any number of vgseer processes (local or remote) and a Viewglob display. * vgmini and vgclassic, graphical displays: List the contents of directories relevant to the currently active shell, highlighting file selections and potential name completions. A convenience script 'viewglob' is provided as a startup shortcut. Author: Stephen Bach
wbumount has two goals: (1): Make a "statement" how i would deal with the "umount - device is busy"-problem on the free desktop. (2): To provide a simple tool which makes life easier for people using the linux desktop - until someone comes up with a better solution. wbumount helps unix destop users to find out, which processes block unmounting or ejecting devices (such as cdroms, usb-harddisks...). wbumount only deals with mount points which are under user control ("user"-option in fstab or mtab). Author: Ralf S. Engelschall
dosbox is a DOS emulator that, thanks to its good graphics and sound emulation, is exceptionally well-suited for playing games. dosbox features a built-in DOS operating system and transparent access to the Linux file system and is therefore very easy to use. Authors: -------- Sjoerd v.d. Berg Peter Veenstra
madplay is a command-line MPEG audio decoder and player based on the MAD library (libmad). madplay will also read and display ID3 tag information, and further supports the relative volume adjustment information (RVA2) in such tags, as written by tools like normalize. Author: Underbit Technologies, Inc.
Imediff2 is an interactive, user friendly 2-way merge tool in text mode - essentially an easy-to-use replacement for sdiff. In other words, you give it two slightly different text files and merge them with a nice user interface. The program lets you scroll around the document much like with the popular less pager and highlights the changed sections as you go. You can then choose which version of the differing part will end up in the merged version; first, second or optionally, if the 'unresolved' mode is enabled, both. Author: Jarno Elonen
KnowIt is a simple tool for managing notes. It is similar to TuxCards, but KDE-based. Notes are organized in tree-like hierarchy, texts are in RichText format, so bold, italic and lists are supported, with more to come. Author: Michal Rudolf
This tool copies all required files for a movie title from a DVD on your harddisk for further processing with libdvdreads image mode (e.g. transcode). It automatically selects the title with longest duration - but you can also pick a specific one. The tool determines the correct title set (VTS-VOB files) for the selected title, clones the navigation information (IFO files) and extracts (decodes) the data into new video object streams. Authors: chris@lallafa.de
This tool tries to find a suitable clipping border for a series of gray images. It is very useful to automatically extract clipping values for transcoding a movie if the source frame is encoded with black bars. A border around an image is defined by a rectangular and homogenous valued area extending from each edge of the image (e.g. the black bars around a movie frame). For each image the largest clip border is determined and the smallest common region of the image series is returned. Empty images or images with no valid clipping region are ignored. To cope with noisy regions in the black border areas, the region finding algorithm does not simply cut away all regions with purely zero values, but it uses a threshold in the absolut gradient sum along rows and columns as a hint for the begin of real image contents. You need a frame processing tool like transcode to actually perform the clipping operation. Authors: chris@lallafa.de
mpglen is a simple tool to read in one or more mpeg files and report the number of frames and GOPs it finds. I wrote it because the mpeg format does not include any length information in it's header, and to convert an mpeg to a known size (S)VCD, you need to know the length to select the optimum bitrate. Authors: Glen Harris
Musicextras is a program for automatically retrieving extra information for songs. Currently it retrieves lyrics, album covers, artist images, artist bio, years active, and track listings. Author: Zachary P. Landau
Skale Tracker is a free music composition software based on old-skool soundtrackers with the power of current technologies.

This is the second public release of QSync (0.3). The GUI is looking better, and there are many fewer bugs than before, but downloading through rsync (which is what most people will use QSync for) works very well. This version does not depend on the system rsync binary at all - it uses a built-in version of rsync. So, what doesn't work? The syncing portion of QSync isn't quite right yet. When downloading files that already exist in up-to-date form on the client side, the rsync operation will complete successfully, but the progress info will not be updated for said files. This is a feature that will be implemented in subsequent versions of QSync. Uploading files will also come in later versions, as I'm guessing most people are less likely to use this feature. Questions? Comments? Author: Amritpal Bath
DBoxFE is a linux frontend for DOSBox. With DBoxFE you can create and manage your configuration files very easily, which are needed by DOSBox.

IP Tables State implements the "state top" feature from IP Filter for IP Tables. "State top" displays the states held by your stateful firewall in a "top"-like manner. Since IP Tables doesn't have a built-in way to easily display this information once, an option was added to iptstate to do this. Author: Phil Dibowitz
OSSP iselect is an interactive line selection tool for textual files, operating via a full-screen Curses-based terminal session. It can be used either as an user interface frontend controlled by a scripting backend as its wrapper or in batch mode as a pipeline filter (usually between grep and the final executing command). Author: Ralf S. Engelschall
POE is an event-driven networking and multitasking framework for Perl. It has been in active development since 1996, with its first open release in 1998. O'Reilly's 'The Perl Conference' (now OSCON's Perl track) named POE 'Best New Module' in 1999. POE has been used in mission-critical systems such as internetworked financial markets, file systems, commerce and application servers. It has been used in projects ranging from a few lines of code to tens of thousands. POE is compatible with perl versions as old as 5.005_03. This may change as it becomes harder to support old versions of Perl over time. POE includes an evolving component framework. Components are high-level, modular, reusable pieces of programs. Several components have been published on the CPAN, and more are listed on POE's web site. See: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=POE&mode=dist POE includes components and libraries for making quick work of network clients, servers, and peers. A simple stand-alone web application takes about 30 lines of code, most of which is your own custom logic. Author: Rocco Caputo

mkCDrec (Make CDROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another disk, NFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, msdos, fat, vfat, reiserfs, xfs and jfs filesystems are supported. One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) is also supported as recovery method. This package includes also the mkCDrec utilities. These are optional for mkCDrec itself, but are an added value for rescue and recovery purposes. The utilities are staticly compiled and include parted, memtest, partimage, gpart, and recover. Memtest86 is also available for memory testing.
Redet allows the user to construct regular expressions and test them against input data by executing any of a variety of search programs, editors, and programming languages that make use of regular expressions. When a suitable regular expression has been constructed it may be saved to a file. Redet stands for Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool. For each program, a palette showing the available regular expression syntax is provided. Selections from the palette may be copied to the regular expression window with a mouse click. Users may add their own definitions to the palette via their initialization file. Redet also keeps a list of the regular expressions executed, from which entries may be copied back into the regular expression under construction. The history list is saved to a file and restored on startup, so it persists across sessions. So long as the underlying program supports Unicode, redet allows UTF-8 Unicode in both test data and regular expressions. Author: Bill Poser
London Law is an online multiplayer adaptation of the classic Scotland Yard board game (also see Wikipedia), first published by Ravensburger in 1983. The game is unusually asymmetric; one player controls the movements of the criminal Mr. X as he tries to evade Scotland Yard, while another one to five players control five detectives trying to track him down. Mr. X has an advantage in access to transportation routes, and his precise location remains hidden for most of the game. The detectives have only the advantage of superior numbers, so they must work in concert to limit the criminal's options. London Law features an attractive map overlaid on high-resolution satellite imagery. Author: Paul Pelzl
String::Approx lets you match and substitute strings approximately. With this you can emulate errors: typing errorrs, speling errors, closely related vocabularies (colour color), genetic mutations (GAG ACT), abbreviations (McScot, MacScot). NOTE: String::Approx suits the task of string matching, not string comparison, and it works for strings, not for text. If you want to compare strings for similarity, you probably just want the Levenshtein edit distance (explained below), the Text::Levenshtein and Text::LevenshteinXS modules in CPAN. See also Text::WagnerFischer and Text::PhraseDistance. (There are functions for this in String::Approx, e.g. adist(), but their results sometimes differ from the bare Levenshtein et al.) Author: Jarkko Hietaniemi
Ympyris is a falling blocks game (also known as a Tetris clone). To make your head buzz, Ympyris uses polar coordinate system instead of the regular grid used by almost all Tetris clones.

A dosbox frontend written in PyKDE. Rather than concentrating on dosbox configuration management over multiple games, this frontend concentrates on file management. This frontend is designed to separate the freshly installed files from the changed file, configuration files, and saved games. Every game entry in the frontend is split between two different archives. The first archive is a zipfile created upon entry to the frontend. This is meant to save a fresh install. The secondary, or extras archive, is a tarball whose contents are generated from an rdiff-backup of the leftover or changed files relative to the install archive.

For example, it is best to take the net with a slow, low shot (backspin); it is best to play diagonal when you are decentered horizontally, in order not to give angles; you should get back to center and behind the baseline after the shot, in order not to be caught in No-Man's-Land when the opponent hits * The A.I. is very advanced and reflects those tactics * You have total control over the parabola described by the shot * The graphic gestures are realistic and elegant * Different players have different skills * The game is developed by a former tennis player * Free Tennis is Free Software (which means more than simply 'open-source'). It is released under the GPL license. Should you need another license, please ask the author. * For instructions: http://freetennis.sourceforge.net/manual.html Author: Maurizio Colucci
Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise the execution of applications that produce heavy console output (e.g. make, CVS and Subversion). It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring each line of the output before displaying it. It can be called instead of the executable that should be monitored; it then starts the application and logs all of its console output to a file. The output shown in the terminal is preprocessed, e.g. to limit the length of printed lines and to show the stderr output in a different color. It is also possible to automatically highlight lines that match a certain regular expression. The output is therefore reduced to the necessary amount, and all important lines are easy to identify.

Lkmonitor is a tool for monitoring and managing linux's kernel. It has been developed for GNOME, using Glib and Gtk libraries in C Language. lkmonitor tries to offer detailed information about the characteristics of the system, such as types of cpu, state of the memory and/or the file system registered in kernel. lkmonitor is an open source project with information about the source code and software architecture in order to ease the development of new features.
Small but functional frontend to the source control program git.
qgit, a git GUI viewer. With qgit you will be able to browse revisions history, view patch content and changed files, graphically following different development branches. Main features * View revisions, diffs, files history, files annotation, archive tree. * Commit changes visually cherry picking modified files. * Apply or format patch series from selected commits, drag and drop commits between two instances of qgit. * Associate commands sequences, scripts and anything else executable to a custom action. Actions can be run from menu and corresponding output is grabbed by a terminal window. * qgit implements a GUI for the most common StGIT commands like push/pop and apply/format patches. You can also create new patches or refresh current top one using the same semantics of git commit, i.e. cherry picking single modified files.
Hotwire is a shell replacement for gnome-terminal/xterm + sh + ssh for developers and system administrators. Hotwire is somewhat like Windows PowerShell, but graphical, and also a little like MacOS X Automator, but text based.
Crystal Space is a free (LGPL) and portable 3D Development Kit written in C++. It supports: true six degree's of freedom, colored lighting, mipmapping, portals, mirrors, alpha transparency, reflective surfaces, 3D sprites (frame based or with skeletal animation), procedural textures, radiosity, particle systems, halos, volumetric fog, scripting (using Python or other languages), 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit display support, OpenGL and software renderering, font support, hierarchical transformations, etc.
CEL (or Crystal Entity Layer) is a set of plugins and applications built on top of the Crystal Space SDK. CEL provides a set of commonly used abstractions to specifically help with writing games. CEL introduces the notion of an 'entity' which can be any kind of (visual or non-visual) object in a game. CEL also comes with a lot of useful plugins for 3rd/first person camera handling, physics, movement system, quest system, and so on. Written in C++, CEL can also be interacted with via Python or Xml. Using CELstart it is also not neccessary to use C++. This means that since the base code is C++, CEL is fast while being extremely easy to use from within Python and/or Xml.

wxScintilla implements the Scintilla editing control (see http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/) with the wxWidgets API. It's derived from wxStyledTextCtrl and has the same functionality and a similar API.
This applications is a very simple editor with syntax highlighting for writing and compiling Cg shaders. Since 0.3 version there are also calltips for all Cg functions. They will appear on the screen when you write an opening bracket after function name. You can also show them by CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE shortcut (as Visual Studio has by default). The application also supports highlighting for semantics. It helps me working with shaders, maybe will be helpful for you. Author: Micha 'SirMike' Wikliski
K3DSurf is a program for visualizing and manipulating multidimensional surfaces by using Mathematical equations. It's also a "modeler" for POV-Ray in the area of parametric surfaces. It features 3D, 4D, 5D, and 6D HyperObjects visualization, full support for all functions (like the C language), support for mouse events in the drawing area, animation and morph effects, Povscript and mesh file generation, and support for VRML2 and OBJ files. More than 100 examples are provided. Author: Abderrahman Taha
Doodle is a desktop search engine for Linux. It searches your hard drive for files using pattern matching on meta-data. It extracts file-format specific meta-data using libextractor and builds a suffix tree to index the files. The index can then be searched rapidly. It is similar to locate, but can take advantage of information such as ID3 tags. It is possible to do full-text indexing using the appropriate libextractor plugins. It also supports using FAM to keep the database up-to-date. Author: Christian Grothoff
System utility for finding dynamic and static libraries where user-provided object symbols are defined.
ShapeFusion is a scenario editor for the AlephOne game engine, compatible with the original Bungie engines Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity. It's specialized on editing the scenario Shapes file (the component holding game graphics and animations) and thus must be used side by side with other editors, mainly a map editor. Support for the scenario Sounds file is in progress. So far ShapeFusion allows to: * export color tables; * import, export and delete bitmaps; * add, delete and edit frames; * add, delete and edit sequences. ShapeFusion is written in C++ using wxWidgets and can therefore run on many operating systems, mainly Linux, MacOS X and Windows. We are ufficially supporting Linux and MacOS X. ShapeFusion is free software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
I wrote it because I had a few concert DVDs laying around, and wanted to get their audio tracks into my portable music player. At the time, existing Linux-based tools meant ripping the video first, then extracting the audio. They made none of this easy. Who has time for such nonsense? Devidify makes things easy. Feed it a shiny disc and it spits out WAV, MP3, or Ogg Vorbis files.
