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.

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.

A keygrabber which can do various things based on key combinations. You don’t need to bother with Blackbox as your window manager if you don’t want.

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.
