GDPM is GNOME-based graphical manager for Debian
packages. It aims to fully replace the
command-line tools apt-get, apt-cache, and dpkg by
offering an easy way to install, remove, upgrade,
and browse Debian packages.

KebuildPart is a KPart plugin that allows you to
view ebuild scripts.

stableUpdate is an autoupdate tool for creating,
detecting, downloading, installing, and removing
service packs for JAR-based Java applications.
Generated updates are transferred in archives,
upgrading between subsequent versions. An update
contains changed single files and changed parts of
JAR and ZIP files. It supports mirrors, release
notes, and uninstallation of updates.

rtkmerge is a GUI to the emerge command to handle packages under the Gentoo Linux Distrubution. It was initially written to help when running 'emerge world' to update the entire system. With rtkmerge you get all the outdated packages presented in a list and you can easily select which packages you want and don't want. USE-flags can be set individually for each package.

IPFS (IPSquad Package From Source) is a system which allows you to trace an program's installation from sources and register it in your favorite packaging system (only the Slackware package system and RPM are currently supported). IPFS watches a command (generally make install), collects the list of added files, and then registers them in the chosen packaging system as if the install was made from a normal package. Unlike other similar products, IPFS is able to track both shared and statically linked programs.

postPHPix is a PHP interface to manage a mail subsystem based on Postfix, LDAP, and Courier imapd servers.

PyRPM is an experimental project to look at RPM
package management. It is a Python module and a
collection of scripts that provide similar
functionality as rpm, yum, and related software.
It mainly deals with RPM packages, the RPM
database in /var/lib/rpm, comps.xml files, and yum
repositories (called repo data).

Tiny Tcl 6.8 is a rommable, minimal Tcl implementation for embedded applications. Derived from the venerable Tcl 6.7 release, Tiny Tcl 6.8 has a solid Tcl feature set, excluding newer capabilities of Tcl 7 and 8 such as the bytecode compiler, namespaces, sockets, and async event handling, among others. Excluding C library functions, Tiny Tcl compiles down to less than 60 Kbytes on most machines, far smaller than any Tcl 7 or Tcl 8 derivatives.

SuSE-Get is a small tool for downloading packages for the SuSE
distribution from SuSE's FTP server. It is most handy when you don't
have the CDs around or are working on a remote server. It supports
searching for filenames (e.g., you can tell it to install Apache, and
it will ask whether you would like to install apache-1.3 or
apache2-2.0). It does not support dependency checking, but for
everyone who knows how to use the RPM command, it will be very handy.

gpkg is the command-line GNUpdate package
management tool. It provides functionality similar
to the rpm, dpkg, and apt-get tools. Since it works
with libpackman, it has the ability to install,
uninstall, and query multiple types of package
formats and package databases.

plc is a GUI application that discovers 85 Mbit
Homeplug powerline adapters, displays the maximum
bitrate for each adapter, configures a VLAN on
powerline network, and keeps a log of discovered
devices.

mnsetup is a script that helps you set up mail and news on a Slackware
system or other Linux system. It will set up the "fetchmail" mail
client, the "mutt" or "pine" mail readers, and the "tin" or "slrn"
news readers. The script will prompt you for your username, password,
and email address. You need to have the "dialog" program installed to
run mnsetup.

QSynaptics is a Qt-based configuration utility for
the Synaptics touchpad drivers. It uses the
synclient/syndaemon tools delivered by the X11
driver, which is available from
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/.

Portable Linux is a tool that lets you create
bootable USB and removable drives using popular
Live CDs based on Casper (like the Ubuntu family
of distributions). It sports some unique features.
The live setups it creates let you use the
remaining disk space on your USB drive to store
and transport files between computers, as usual.
If your distribution supports persistence, the
files and settings you edit on your live Linux
distribution are persisted across reboots.
Finally, you can access the area used to store
your files from within your Linux distribution.
