Here are a few small-sized linux goodies I thought others might enjoy. I have tested all of them under Slackware 7.0 with KDE 1.1.2.
| Alien | Converts between archive filetypes, i.e. turns an .rpm unto a .tgz. Very useful on non-RedHat systems. |
| AXY-FTP 0.5.1 | Formerly known as WX_FTP, this GUI FTP client has the look and feel of the Win32 WS-FTP client. |
| BitchX | This is just an executable of the popular console IRC client. |
| Eterm 0.8.10 | Terminal emulation designed for Gnome Enlightemnent, but usable in most other window managers. It's mos appealing feature is transparent backgrounds. This requires installation of the ImLib library. |
| GAIM 0.10.1 | A very nice AOL Instant Messenger client for X-Windows. Supports proxies, sounds, auto-login, etc. |
| ippl 1.4.10 | A simple console network connection monitor. Supports ICMP, TCP, UDP, and logging. Reports dest port, source IP, time, etc. of incoming TCP/IP data. |
| John the Ripper 1.6 | Test the security of your user's passwords. |
| KcmDHCPd 0.2.0 | This program is still in development. It allows easier configuration of DHCP servers. |
| KNapster 0.13 | A Napster client for KDE. |
| KPacMan | Nice little game that you can play while you're waiting for the rest of the stuff you downloaded here to compile. |
| MTV 1.1.4 | MPEG movie player. Supports full-screen, stereo sound and more. The GUI requires registration for full use, but the console app works without registering. |
| Nmap 2.53 | Very well-made portscanner for Linux, debatably the best in existance. Extremely fast and full-featured. |
| RealPlayer 7.0 | Plays mp3s, wavs, and RealServer video/audio streams. |
| snes9x 1.29 | This is a SNES emulator for Linux. Stereo sound, lots of options, 3dfx fullscreen mode, and flawless operation. |
| ssh 2.3.0 | A simple SSH console client for Linux. |
| TinyProxy 1.3.3 | This is a simple http/ftp proxy server. Though WWW_Proxy is a tad more stable, this one does not require installation of extra libraries. |
| WinRAR 2.71 | WinRAR for Linux! Not only are the Windows and Linux versions compatible, but it can also make self-extractors for Linux! (demonstrated as this download is a self extractor) |
| Xchat 1.5.7 Beta | An X-Windows GUI chat client. Easy to use and many features, including perl script support. Works best with the ImLib library. |
| XMMS 1.2.2 | This is a great MP3 player for linux, very similar to Winamp. Great sound quality, playlist support, equilizer, and plugin support. |
