acpid

Version: 1.0.4-1
Description: Utilities for using ACPI power management 

 Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
 to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and
 configuration status.
 .
 ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering
 ACPI events. It listens on a file (/proc/acpi/event) and when an event
 occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes
 are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be
 dropped into place by packages or by the admin.
 .
 In order to use this package you need a recent Kernel (=>2.4.7). This can be
 one including the patches on http://acpid.sourceforge.net or a non patched one.
Top


alsa-base

Version: 1.0.9a-1
Description: ALSA driver configuration files 

 This package contains the ALSA initscript and various
 configuration files for the ALSA drivers.
 .
 For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card,
 there must be an ALSA driver for that card in the kernel.
 Linux 2.6 as shipped in kernel-image packages contains
 ALSA drivers for all supported sound cards in the form
 of loadable modules. For either Linux 2.6 or Linux 2.4
 a custom alsa-modules package can be built from the
 sources in the alsa-source package using the make-kpkg
 utility (available in the kernel-package package). Some
 pre-built alsa-modules packages are available in the
 Debian archive.  Please read the README.Debian file for
 information about loading modules.
 .
 ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.
     http://alsa.sourceforge.net
 OSS is the free version of the Open Sound System.

anacron

Version: 2.3-11
Description: a cron-like program that doesn't go by time 

 Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler.  It
 executes commands at intervals specified in days.  Unlike cron, it
 does not assume that the system is running continuously.  It can
 therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly and
 monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that
 don't run 24 hours a day.  When installed and configured properly,
 Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified
 intervals as closely as machine-uptime permits.
 .
 This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian
 system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on
 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages
 are executed each day.

aspell

Version: 0.60.2+20050121-3
Description: GNU Aspell spell-checker 

 GNU Aspell is a spell-checker which can be used either as a standalone
 application or embedded in other programs.  Its main feature is that it
 does a much better job of suggesting possible spellings than just about
 any other spell-checker available for the English language, including
 Ispell and Microsoft Word.  It also has many other technical
 enhancements over Ispell such as using shared memory for dictionaries
 and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one
 Aspell process is open at once.
 .
 Aspell is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Ispell.
 .
 This is a meta-package for installing the GNU Aspell standalone
 utilities along with an Aspell dictionary.

aterm

Version: 0.4.2-11
Description: Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator for the X window system 

 Aterm is a colour vt102 terminal emulator, based on rxvt 2.4.8 with
 some additions of fast transparency, intended as an xterm replacement
 for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014
 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a result, aterm uses
 much less swap space -- a significant advantage on a machine serving
 many X sessions. It was created with AfterStep Window Manager users
 in mind, but is not tied to any libraries, and can be used anywhere.
Top


bittorrent

Version: 3.4.2-4
Description: Scatter-gather network file transfer 

 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.
 .
 This package contains the tools which are used for console-only
 downloading.  If you want the GUI interface, install the
 bittorrent-gui package.
 .

bzip2

Version: 1.0.2-7
Description: high-quality block-sorting file compressor - utilities 

 bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor.
 It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available
 techniques, whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six
 times faster at decompression.
 .
 bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text
 compression algorithm, and Huffman coding.  Compression is generally
 considerably better than that achieved by more conventional
 LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM
 family of statistical compressors.
 .
 The archive file format of bzip2 (.bz2) is incompatible with that of its
 predecessor, bzip (.bz).
 .

cfengine2

Version: 2.1.14-1
Description: Tool for configuring and maintaining network machines 

 The main purpose of cfengine is to allow the system administrator
 to create a single central file which will define how every host
 on a network should be configured.
 .
 It takes a while to set up cfengine for a network (especially an
 already existing network), but once that is done you will wonder
 how you ever lived without it!

dict

Version: 1.9.15-1
Description: Dictionary Client 

 dict is the client that queries the dictd server.  Since it is TCP
 based, it can access servers on the local host, on a local network,
 or on the Internet.
 .
 The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can
 be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet.  The default
 configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be
 changed in the configuration file /etc/dict.conf.
 .
 Queries may be customized by numerous command line options, including
 specifying the database(s) to be queried and the search strategy to
 be used.
 .
 dict includes dictl, which simplifies using utf-8 encoded dictionaries
 with terminals that do not support utf-8.
Top


e2undel

Version: 0.8-7
Description: Undelete utility for the ext2 file system 

 Interactive console tool to recover the data of deleted files on
 an ext2 file system under Linux. It does not require knowledge
 about how ext2 file systems works and should be usable by
 most people.
 .
 This tools searches all inodes marked as deleted on a file system and
 lists them as sorted by owner and time of deletion. Additionally,
 it gives you the file size and tries to determine the file type in
 the way file(1) does. If you did not just delete a whole bunch of
 files with a 'rm -r *', this information should be helpful to find
 out which of the deleted files you would like to recover.
 .
 E2undel will not work on ext3 (journaling) filesystems.

strace

Version: 4.5.11-1
Description: A system call tracer 

 strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out
 a trace of all the system calls made by a another process/program.
 The program to be traced need not be recompiled for this, so you can
 use it on binaries for which you don't have source.
 .
 System calls and signals are events that happen at the user/kernel
 interface. A close examination of this boundary is very useful for bug
 isolation, sanity checking and attempting to capture race conditions.

sudo

Version: 1.6.8p7-1.1
Description: Provide limited super user privileges to specific users 

 Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
 privileges to users and log root activity.  The basic philosophy is to give
 as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.

toolame

Version: 02i-2
Description: MPEG-1 layer 2 audio encoder 

 toolame is a very fast (6x realtime on a 550mhz Celeron) MPEG-1 layer 2
 audio encoder with a command-line syntax nearly identical to that of the
 lame MPEG-1 layer 3 audio encoder. Because of patent issues surrounding the
 layer 3 encoder, the ability of most mpeg audio players to play layer 2
 files, and the similarity in command-line syntax, toolame makes a very good
 drop-in replacement for lame or other layer 3 encoders under most
 circumstances.

unison

Version: 2.10.2-2
Description: A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows 

 Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows, written
 in OCaml. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and
 directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks
 on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to
 date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
 .
 Unison offers several advantages over various synchronization methods
 such as CVS, Coda, rsync, Intellisync, etc. Unison can run on and
 synchronize between Windows and many UNIX platforms. Unison requires
 no root privileges, system access or kernel changes to function. Unison
 can synchronize changes to files and directories in both directions,
 on the same machine, or across a network using ssh or a direct
 socket connection.
 .
 Transfers are optimised using a version of the rsync protocol,
 making it ideal for slower links. Unison has a clear and precise
 specification, and is resilient to failure due to its careful
 handling of the replicas and its private structures.

unzip

Version: 5.52-3
Description: De-archiver for .zip files 

 InfoZIP's unzip program. With the exception of multi-volume archives
 (ie, .ZIP files that are split across several disks using PKZIP's /& option),
 this can handle any file produced either by PKZIP, or the corresponding
 InfoZIP zip program.
 .
 This version supports encryption.

wget

Version: 1.9.1-12
Description: retrieves files from the web 

 Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the Web
 using http and ftp, the two most widely used Internet
 protocols. It works non-interactively, so it will work in
 the background, after having logged off. The program supports
 recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as ftp
 sites -- you can use wget to make mirrors of archives and
 home pages or to travel the Web like a WWW robot.
 .
 Wget works particularly well with slow or unstable connections
 by continuing to retrieve a document until the document is fully
 downloaded. Re-getting files from where it left off works on
 servers (both http and ftp) that support it. Both http and ftp
 retrievals can be time stamped, so wget can see if the remote
 file has changed since the last retrieval and automatically
 retrieve the new version if it has.
 .
 Wget supports proxy servers; this can lighten the network load,
 speed up retrieval, and provide access behind firewalls.

xscreensaver

Version: 4.21-3
Description: Automatic screensaver for X 

 The purpose of xscreensaver is to display pretty pictures on your screen
 when it is not in use, in keeping with the philosophy that unattended
 monitors should always be doing something interesting, just like they do
 in the movies.
 .
 The benefit that this program has over the combination of the xlock and
 xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphics hacks can be
 installed: you don't need to recompile this program to add a new display
 mode, you just change some resource settings.  Any program which can be
 invoked in such a way that it draws on the root window of the screen can
 now be used as a screensaver without modification.  The programs that
 are being run as screensavers don't need to have any special knowledge
 about what it means to be a screensaver.

zip

Version: 2.31-3
Description: Archiver for .zip files 

 This is InfoZIP's zip program. It produces files that are fully
 compatible with the popular PKZIP program; however, the command line
 options are not identical. In other words, the end result is the same,
 but the methods differ. :-)
 .
 This version supports encryption.
