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.

Alpha. Very visually appealing. Languages: Perl, Python, (Ruby “soon”, though they seem apathetic), possibly JavaScript later.
Abandoned: As of 2020-05-14, not updated since 2004-03-30.

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.
.bbkeysrc has some configuration notes.
more coming later

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)

A multi-OS email client.
POP3, IMAP, SMTP, NNTP, LDAP, SSL/TLS, OpenPGP, S/MIME, filters, multiple identities, bayesian spam filters.
Excellent, but awfully slow.

2016-12-25 – Blizzard still hasn’t abandoned it yet.
It’s ugly to an extreme, and offensive to my eyes to even look at it. The controls are awkward and hard on my mouse hand.
Properly titled Diablo II
