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.

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!

https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/
A terminal multiplexer
I use it only in fairly dire circumstances, usually when at the TTY console. It’s essential in that circumstance, even if it’s only to lock the console screen (with ^a^x)

A file can be “summarized” into a short string. That string can be compared with the file again to determine if it’s the same file. This is often used when downloading a file to check it after the fact. This sort of thing is built into compression software, but using md5sum is way faster/easier because it doesn’t need to put the file in a container and uncompress it to use it.
There are various other programs which do similar things, like sha256sum. These all come with almost all Linux distributions.
