The GNOME Control Center allows you to configure
various parts of your GNOME system with different
tools called "capplets". The capplets are
associated with the core set of GNOME applications
and helps you to manage your system.

Seccheck is a feature rich, modular, host-level
security checker for Solaris 10. Easily expandable
with customised modules, Seccheck produces highly
detailed reports based around known and published
security best-practices and guidelines. It also
produces recommendations on how to fix flagged
security issues.

Apt-zeroconf is a distributed apt-cacher for local
networks. It's called apt-zeroconf since it uses
avahi for automatically finding other apt-zeroconf
instances on the LAN, similar to Apple's
Rendezvous/Bonjour/Zeroconf technology.

Repo-proxy is a package repository proxy. When a package manager is configured to use repo-proxy, all package requests will be copied and stored in a local cache directory for future use. If you have more than one machine on a local network, they can all share the same package download cache, saving bandwidth and lengthy download times. Repo-proxy can be run using several different methods to accept requests from clients (package managers such as apt-get or smart) for Release and/or Package files.

XPKGTOOL is a GUI front-end for pkgtools that
allows you to manage, install, remove, and upgrade
packages with ease, through a nice and user
friendly X-based interface. It comes with a
built-in update manager, called SlackGrade, that
will help you to keep your Slackware system up to
date, checking, downloading, and upgrading the
system with the latest packages available from the
main Slackware distribution sources on the Web.

Sloggi is a thin loadable kernel module for the
Solaris Operating Environment (OE). It allows the
administrator to change the name, the release, and
the version of the operating system on a running
system by intercepting the uname() system call. It
is a coarse way of creating a compatible
environment for applications that check for the
information returned by uname() (or the command
uname).

Payload Delivery Vehicle (PDV) is a program that builds an executable that contains a complete package (e.g. and RPM, System V package or tar file) and the commands required to install it. When the executable is run it will extract the payload (the package) and then execute another command (such as rpm -i, pkgadd -d etc.). The big advantage to this is that a developer can hand a user a single file to be executed - the end user does not need to know how to extract the package or get it installed.

easyRPM is a package management tool for RPM-based Linux distributions. It lets you explore packages that are installed on your computer, located on your hard disk, CD, or on the Web. You can easily find packages by any criterion (name, size, feature, file, description). An XML-based query language is supported. You may choose packages to install or remove, and easyRPM will try to resolve all dependencies. It will download required packages from the Internet. easyRPM can read header information from rpm files, yum XML files, or hdlist files.

LoopLinux (a.k.a. loopslak) is a way to install and run Slackware Linux from a DOS/Win9x system without repartitioning. It can also be installed to its own Linux partition.

The Loki Uninstall Tool was written by Loki Software to remove products and components installed with their setup and patch tools. It uses the database created upon installation by Loki Setup to perform the uninstallation.

Nhopkg is a lightweight and powerful package manager system for Unix-like operating systems. Nhopkg can install, remove, update, search, and manage software packages in its own .nho format. Nhopkg aims to be a universal package manager. Because of this, Nhopkg isn't only a package manager, but is also a set of guidelines to pack up software for any machine. Therefore, to check package dependencies, Nhopkg searches for specific files instead of package names.
