vi is a textmode editor. It’s so bad even the author regrets it.
For some fucking reason, Linux distributions almost all include it by default.
The only editor I know of which can handle huge files. So horribly horrible though. =(

monotone is a free distributed version control system. it provides a simple, single-file transactional version store, with fully disconnected operation and an efficient peer-to-peer synchronization protocol. it understands history-sensitive merging, lightweight branches, integrated code review and 3rd party testing. it uses cryptographic version naming and client-side RSA certificates. it has good internationalization support, has no external dependencies, runs on linux, solaris, OSX, windows, and other unixes, and is licensed under the GNU GPL.

https://wiki.debian.org/Apt
A package manager, notably used by Debian.
This refers mainly to apt-get and apt-cache although there is the separate-but-compatible project that is just apt.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lufs/ [ 1 ] was http://lufs.sourceforge.net:80/lufs/fs.html
A hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting many “exotic” filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, gnutellafs, locasefs, gvfs, cardfs, cefs, etc. ).
Seems unreliable to me.
- Can mount FTP
- Allows Gnutella Peer-to-peer mounting to perform searches and use search results as files.

This is only an idea, and is not real.

If it existed, Phpss would be a simple website synchronization tool.
If it existed, it would be designed to be deployed on the source machine and will replicate files and a database to a remote target machine by FTP.
This is one of my random ideas. Feel free to implement it!
