Maintains a database for easy filename finding. Part of findutils.
I don’t like this idea at all; it presents one single point of attack to get the knowledge of the filesystem(s). This is also installed by default on so many systems, so I uninstall it and delete its database because that gets left after uninstallation!

Automount utilities including an updated version of Amd Am-utils includes an updated version of Amd, the popular BSD automounter. An automounter is a program which maintains a cache of mounted filesystems. Filesystems are mounted when they are first referenced by the user and unmounted after a certain period of inactivity. Amd supports a variety of filesystems, including NFS, UFS, CD-ROMS and local drives.
You should install am-utils if you need a program for automatically mounting and unmounting filesystems.
Incomprehensible documentation.

I had originally fallen in love with Ruby with the hopes of being able to use it on 16-bit DOS computers, but didn’t turn out to be possible. Since then I had stuck with it to tinker around quite a lot. But it turns out that a vast amount more programs are written in Python. Since my experiences with Ruby GUI toolkits were just horrifying, and all the Python GUI stuff I’ve seen is awesome, I think I’ll check things out.
I didn’t end up looking into Python much, but I have a bunch of notes.

A platform emulator thingy thing. With powerful features and stuff.
I haven’t really directly used it, except briefly with MultiBootUSB where it didn’t have mouse support.
