A transparent trashcan program, allowing one to “un-erase”.
This is a category killer, there was nothing else which came close to it’s functionality.

A modem/BBS terminal program.
One of the top contenders. It is truly frightening, and still very useful today. However, they missed out on some basic functionality and got too complex. Telix and Telemate are two other contenders. Telix, well I don’t know why.. I still use Telemate to this day.. it kicks the pants out of terminate for most of the major simplicity and functionality. Too bad none of them are in development anymore. Hrmph.
- Competed with Telemate as a category-killer.

A remote-control tool that can be used without firewall configuration. Port scanner and Trace Route, drag&drop files, get system passwords, Power-down or Wake-Up remote PCs.

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.
