A remote-control tool that can be used without firewall configuration. Port scanner and Trace Route, drag&drop files, get system passwords, Power-down or Wake-Up remote PCs.
By far the most impressive piece of software I’ve ever used. It’s tiny and does the impossible. But it made enemies.
It was said to be coming out for OS X, but never did.

A fast, open source, cross-platform Web browser based on the Links web browser.
Where Lynx is the standard console web browser for most Linux distributions and is complete shit, Links is fucking awesome.
I had used this for some time but abandoned it for a while. I’ll try it again eventually.
aka Links2

Alpha. Very visually appealing. Languages: Perl, Python, (Ruby “soon”, though they seem apathetic), possibly JavaScript later.
Abandoned: As of 2020-05-14, not updated since 2004-03-30.

What was, and probably still is, an extremely beautiful and easy to use distribution. Where Slackware had long-held the title “it just works”, PCLinuxOS does that for users who are completely new to Linux.
From its earliest days its hardware detection was renown, its suite of software astounding, and its remastering capability extraordinary.
It was my daily driver for a long time.
Was nicknamed “pclos” for years.
