About: Xterminal is an Object Oriented User Interface with a client-server architecture. The main purpose is a friendly interface for the UNIX operating systems. It is designed to be used to build text-based applications in C++. It consists of a complete object oriented library including multiple, resizeable, overlapping windows, pull-down menus, dialog boxes, buttons, scroll bars, input lines, check boxes, radio buttons, etc. Mouse support, advanced object management, events handling, communications between objects are provided as well, bundled with a complete programmer's manual.
About: Tetrinet for Linux is a Linux version of the popular Windows multiplayer Tetris game. It should work on all systems having the ncurses library installed. This version runs in textmode only and requires a 50-line display. Both Tetrinet server and client functionality have been implemented.
About: JEL (Java Expressions Library) is a library for evaluating simple single-line expressions in Java. The key feature of JEL is the fact that it is a compiler. The language of JEL expressions resembles the Java Language expressions as close as possible. JEL supports all Java primitive types and classes (even in the form of constants), allows one to call both static and virtual methods of Java classes (with no additinal runtime costs and no wrappers), and performs evaluation of constant subexpressions at a compile time.
About: Apache-SSL is the original secure webserver based on Apache and SSLeay/OpenSSL. It provides 128 bit encryption, client authentication and a modular API. It is actively maintained, and very widely used.
About: Jikes is a fast, simple, source code to byte code compiler that emphasizes strict adherence to the Java language definition. It is a high-quality tool that will help developers quickly create Java applications.
About: Moodss is a modular monitoring application, which supports operating systems (Linux, UNIX, Windows, etc.), databases (MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2, ODBC, etc.), networking (SNMP, Apache, etc.), and any device or process for which a module can be developed (in Tcl, Python, Perl, Java, and C). An intuitive GUI with full drag'n'drop support allows the construction of dashboards with graphs, pie charts, etc., while the thresholds functionality includes emails and user defined scripts. Monitored data can be archived in a SQL database by both the GUI and the companion daemon, so that complete history over time can be made available from Web pages or common spreadsheet software. It can even be used for future behavior prediction or capacity planning, from the included predictor tool, based on powerful statistical methods and artificial neural networks.
About: Dali Clock is a digital clock for Mac OS X, the X Window System, and PalmOS devices. When a digit changes, it "melts" into its new shape with color-cycling.
About: PIKT is cross-categorical, multi-purpose software for monitoring and configuring computer systems, administering networks, organizing system security, and much more. PIKT is intended primarily for system monitoring, and secondarily for configuration management, but its versatility and extensibility evoke many other wide-ranging uses. PIKT consists of a sophisticated, feature-rich file preprocessor; an innovative scripting language with unique labor-saving features; a flexible, centrally directed process scheduler; a customizing file installer; a collection of powerful command-line extensions; and other useful tools.
About: phpMyAdmin is a tool intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. It can create, rename, and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, create dumps of tables and databases, export/import CSV data, and administrate one single database and multiple MySQL servers.
About: Util-linux is a suite of essential utilities for any Linux system. It contains the following programs: addpart, agetty, blockdev, cal, cfdisk, chfn, chkdupexe, chrt, chsh, col, colcrt, colrm, column, ctrlaltdel, cytune, ddate, delpart, display-services, dmesg, elvtune, fastboot, fasthalt, fdformat, fdisk, flock, fsck.cramfs, fsck.minix, getopt, halt, hexdump, hwclock, initctl, ionice, ipcrm, ipcs, isosize, kill, last, line, logger, login, look, losetup, mcookie, mesg, mkfs, mkfs.bfs, mkfs.cramfs, mkfs.minix, mkswap, more, mount, namei, need, newgrp, partx, pg, pivot_root, provide, ramsize, raw, rdev, readprofile, reboot, rename, renice, reset, rev, rootflags, script, scriptreplay, setsid, setterm, sfdisk, shutdown, simpleinit, swapoff, swapon, taskset, tailf, tunelp, ul, umount, vidmode, vipw, wall, whereis, and write.
About: asexec is a state machine which displays a pixmap according to state and can execute commands when changing states. Possible state-change triggers are pressing a button in the asexec window, entering it, leaving it, and/or a timeout.
About: EPIC4 is a new direction in ircII development. It was originally built upon the ircII-2.6 client and has maintained faithfulness to remain current up to the 2.8.2 release. EPIC is somewhat larger than the stock client (24%), but that is mostly because of the multitude of new features, the dual ANSI/K&R compliant function headers, and the large amount of re-written code in an attempt to make ircii faster, more efficient, and more powerful.
About: GQmpeg is a frontend to various audio players, featuring themes (skins), playlists, and many configuration options. Supported backends are mpg123, ogg123, xmp, and video4linux radio tuners.
About: Pike is an interpreted, object-oriented, dynamic programming language with a syntax similar to C. It includes a powerful modules system that, for instance, has image manipulation, database connectivity and advanced cryptography. It is simple to learn, does not require long compilation passes and has powerful built-in data types allowing simple and fast data manipulation.

About: KegTracker is a GTK+-based MOD editor for Linux distributed under the terms of the GPL. It uses a modified version of the xmp library by Claudio Matsuoka and Hipolito Carraro Jr. KegTracker and can play all music modules supported by xmp, which is just about everything except Impulse Tracker modules. Its graphical interface includes Track Display, Order Display, Instrument and Sample Display, as well as basic controls you'd expect in a tracker. It also features a cool starfield about box by Rasterman.
About: Samba is an software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.
