Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-Print) is a collection of printer drivers for Unix/Linux that currently supports over 1400 printers. It emphasizes quality and flexibility, offering a wide variety of options to meet most printing needs. It includes a CUPS driver, an IJS-based Ghostscript driver, Foomatic data, an enhanced Print plugin for The GIMP, and other printer maintenance utilities. It can be used equally well for fast printing of text or critical printing of high quality graphics and photographs.

arch is a modern replacement for CVS, specifically
designed for the distributed development needs of
open source projects. It has uniquely good support
for development on branches (especially good
merging tools), distributed repositories (every
developer can have branches in their own
repository), changeset-oriented project management
(arch commits changes to multiple files at once),
and, of course, file and directory renaming.

Plucker is an offline Web and eBook viewer for
Palm OS-based handheld devices and PDAs. It comes
with Unix/Linux tools and conduits, and Windows
and Mac OS X conduits that let you decide exactly
what part of the Web you want to view on your PDA
(as long as it's in standard HTML or text format).
The requested Web pages are processed, compressed,
and transferred to the PDA for viewing by the
Plucker viewer.

vsdump is a set of tools that are useful for
reverse engineering the VSD/VSS file format used
by Visio.

This is a HOWTO that explains some of the more
advanced features of SSH, including the use of
public-key cryptography and ssh-agent.

The Medicine-HOWTO provides pointers to Linux software (mostly GPLed) for medical sciences.

Check is a unit test framework for C. It features a simple interface for defining unit tests, putting little in the way of the developer. Tests are run in a separate address space, so Check can catch both assertion failures and code errors that cause segmentation faults or other signals. The output from unit tests can be used within source code editors and IDEs.

Zoem is a general-purpose macro/programming language that submits text to a two-stage transformation process. Macro expansion and interpretation is followed by application of customizable character filtering rules. Zoem supports inside-out evaluation, comprehensive IO, control operators, iteration, dictionary stacks, multidimensional data storage, arithmetic expressions, regular expressions, system commands, and more.

The Infrared-HOWTO (formerly known as the
IR-HOWTO) is an introduction to Linux and infrared
devices and how to use the software provided by
the Linux/IrDA project. This package uses IrDA(TM)
compliant standards. Remote Control (RC) via
infrared is not the aim of the project, though
this topic is partly treated in the HOWTO.
