A DOS emulation program.
Absolutely essential for emulating DOS not just within Windows or a traditional Linux environment, but within ARM/Linux as well, for palmtops and phones.
For games I’ve played via it, see /tag/dosbox-games (although the tag is new and not populated well)

Copyright versus Community in the Age of Computer Networks, July 2000
I know that this would be frowned upon, but I made some minor formatting edits for readability. It seems that the copy I have below is different than what’s hosted, so perhaps it’s been updated.

A straightforward mirroring tool, with scheduling, exclusion and other useful features.
Instead of fucking around with some sort of special utility, Karen’s Replicator just does the job. I believe this was my first introduction to her software.

A P2P daemon, which requires a network protocol such as openFT or gnutella. Any number of frontends are also recommended.
So far, giFT has proved to do what it is made for. Most problems will appear to me to be the fault of the frontend, but there may well need to be certain features inserted into either the openFT protocol, the giFT daemon or the frontend.. it’s difficult to say.
