Simple rules:
- - No commonly used applications such as Inkscape, OpenOffice, Icedove, pre-installed KDE or pre-installed GNOME applications.
- Applications must be in the official repositories.
- Must include at least a short description of what the application does.
agave: Creates color schemes. Great for designing websites. Just select one color and have agave create a color scheme for you.
tvtime: Application to watch TV or other devices connected to the computer. Very TV like.
rxvt-unicode: An amazing terminal emulator that is very fast. Startup time as well as redraw time are much faster than the bulky KDE and GNOME terminal emulators. Very good support for encodings as well.
KMplayer:This is NOT KDE's version of Mplayer (that is KPlayer). KMPlayer uses many different backends, including xine and mplayer, to play media. Big feature is the nice intergration with Konqueror for imbedded media.
apt-listbugsLists bugs of packages in the Debian repositories. Useful to check for bugs of a package before installing or upgrading.
gLabels: Create nice lables for envelopes, CD/DVD media, etc.
w3m: Browse the web from the command line.
krename: Powerful program that helps in renaming a batch of files and folders.
rename: Similar to krename, but without the GUI and a little less powerful. Already installed on your system.
renameutils: A set of programs to help in renaming files and folders. Like rename, but more powerful and versatile.
GNU screen: Allows you to have multiple terminal windows open in one terminal emulator. Allows for attaching and detaching of terminal windows and even accessing the windows across the network.
rsnapshot: Backup utility using a diff type method.
nmap: Advanced utility for networking sniffing. Great for auditing security and for simple things, like finding out what computers are on a network, what ports are open and what IP addresses are taken.
vrms: Checks your installed package list for non-free applications! Great way to see how many non-free applications are installed and which ones they are. Thank you Richard Stallman and the person who created this application.
