CheckInstall will run make install (or whatever you tell it to run) and keep track of every file modified by this installation.
When it is done, CheckInstall will create a package and install it as a standard package. It will leave you a copy of the installed package in the source directory for your re-use.
An IRC client.
Hey, not bad once it’s been configured.

Pretty much the de-facto video player on Linux, as it comes with most Linux distributions. It can play both audio and video, and works at the commandline.
Although it’s great, it’s a last resort compared to other audio playing software.
Although it can play without one, the common frontends are:
https://rdiff-backup.net/ [ 1 ] was http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
Combines rsync with diff storage, so one can retrieve a backup from any point in time.
My initial impression was “Works wonderfully well.. very easy to use, very nice. Would be nice to have a GUI tool for recovery purposes though, but oh well.” .. but my 2009-04-01 glance was a flop.

Well, it’s got a sellout anime feeling to it. The graphics and sound are more cartoonish. A number of the annoyances of the first game have been hammered out, but there is a “toy” quality to the game which replaces the original gritty feeling of the original game.
- Properly titled Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories

My notes are for the PlayStation 2 version.
- It’s also available on Steam: Disgaea 2 PC
