GUI software

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.

This topic tends to be particular to Linux. Other operating systems like Windows have their own “window managers” integrated into every version.

coming eventually

2019-11-16 — While the original project was abandoned long ago, I see that it was forked.
- I don’t really care though, as Openbox is working fine.
Obsolete – see versus Blackbox.
