AbiWord is a word processing program. It is rapidly becoming a state of the art word processor, with lots of features useful for your daily work, personal needs, or for just some good old typing fun.

This package provides command line utilities for programming PCsensor and Scythe foot switches. It works for both single pedal and three pedal devices.

This program magnifies a screen region by an integer positive factor and draws the result on a window. It is useful as an accessibility tool, which works with every X Window System based GUI (depends only on libX11); or as an assistant for graphic designers, who need to select individual pixels.

Libbraille is a library to easily access Braille displays and terminals.

Florence is an extensible scalable virtual keyboard for X11. It is useful for people who can't use a real hardware keyboard (for example for people with disabilities), but you must be able to use a pointing device (as a mouse, a trackball, a touchscreen or opengazer).

Florence stays out of your way when you don't need it: it appears on the screen only when you need it. A timer-based auto-click input method is available to help to click.

Espeakup is a bridge between the speakup driver implemented in the Linux kernel and the espeak-ng text to speech synthesizer. In order for this package to work, you need to have the following kernel modules built:

• CONFIG_SPEAKUP=m

• CONFIG_SPEAKUP_SOFT=m

BRLTTY is a background process (daemon) which provides access to the Linux/Unix console (when in text mode) for a blind person using a refreshable braille display. It drives the braille display, and provides complete screen review functionality. Some speech capability has also been incorporated.

MouseLoupe is a kind of magnifying glass combined with the mouse pointer which allows an easy and pleasant web navigation.

GNU acct provides a means for system administrators to determine system usage patterns. It provides information on, for example, connections, programs executed, and system resources used.

This Python extension module manipulates the POSIX.1e ACLs available on many file systems. These allow more fine-grained access control than traditional user/group permissions.

Library and tools for manipulating access control lists.

Ada/Ed is a translator-interpreter for Ada 83. It's intended primarily as a teaching tool and lacks the capacity, performance, and robustness of other contemporary or modern-day Ada compilers.

Ada/Ed was the first Ada compiler to pass the ACVC version 1.7 but fails many newer tests and is not a validated Ada system. Being an interpreter, it does not implement most representation clauses, and thus does not support systems programming close to the machine level.

This package provides the /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/rpc files, which contain information about the IANA-assigned port, protocol, and ONC RPC numbers.

Iftop does for network usage what top does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts.

pam-hooks is a tiny PAM module enabling the execution of hook scripts when a PAM session is opened or closed. The typical use case is the need of doing some per-user set-up when a user logs via a PAM-aware login mechanism and/or the need of doing some per-user clean-up when the user logs out.

Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of their limitations and adds some extra features, more counters and flexibility. Dstat is handy for monitoring systems during performance tuning tests, benchmarks or troubleshooting.

Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources in real-time, you can, e.g., compare disk utilization in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).

The Stress Terminal UI displays graphs of the CPU frequency, utilization, temperature and power.

This package provides a simple, configurable system information tool.

The GNU Shepherd is a daemon-managing daemon, meaning that it supervises the execution of system services, replacing similar functionality found in typical init systems. It provides dependency-handling through a convenient interface and is based on GNU Guile.

hostapd is a user-space daemon for WiFi access points and authentication servers. It implements IEEE 802.11 access point management, IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticators, RADIUS client, EAP server, and RADIUS authentication server.

Prips can be used to print all of the IP addresses in a given range. This allows the enhancement of tools only work on one host at a time (e.g. whois).

LaunchMON is a software infrastructure that enables HPC run-time tools to co-locate tool daemons with a parallel job. Its API allows a tool to identify all the remote processes of a job and to scalably launch daemons into the relevant nodes.

Provides a DHCP and a DHCPv6 client. Additionally, dhcpcd is also an IPv4LL (aka ZeroConf) client. In layperson's terms, dhcpcd runs on your machine and silently configures your computer to work on the attached networks without trouble and mostly without configuration.

This is htop, an interactive process viewer. It is a text-mode application (for console or X terminals) and requires ncurses.
