Yum is a utility that can check for and automatically download and
install updated RPM packages. Dependencies are obtained and downloaded
automatically prompting the user as necessary.
zbackup is a globally-deduplicating backup tool, based on the ideas found
in rsync. Any of the backup files stored previously can be read back in full
at any time. The program is format-agnostic, so you can feed virtually any
files to it.
Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users's activities and events
(files opened, websites visites, conversations hold with other people, etc.)
and makes relevant information available to other applications. It is able to
establish relationships between items based on similarity and usage patterns.
The zeroer utility can be used to wipe empty space on a disk. In contrary to dd,
zeroer does not wipe existing files on a partition. It overwrites the
unallocated disk space around existing files, which means that deleted files
cannot be restored after processing a certain partition with zeroer.
The utility's principle consists in writing huge zero-padded memory blocks to a
file. To a certain extent this works similar to dd, however zeroer dynamically
reduces the blockwriter's buffer size when the filesystem is going to be full.
Zxfer is a fork of zfs-replicate. It allows the easy and reliable backup,
restore or transfer of ZFS filesystems, either locally or remotely.
Some of the features zxfer has:
* Written in sh with only one dependency, rsync. Rsync mode is not used
in a typical restore, hence in that situation all you need is the
zxfer script, your backup and an install CD/DVD.
* Reliability is first priority - the only methods of transfer allowed
are those that checksum/hash the transferred data.
* Transfer to or from a remote host via ssh.
* Recursive and incremental transfer of filesystems (via snapshots).
* Transfer properties and sources of those properties (e.g. local or
inherited).
* Override properties in the transfer, e.g. for archival purposes
it is useful to override "copies" and "compression".
* Create all filesystems on the destination as necessary.
* A comprehensive man page with examples.
* Can be set to beep on error or when done, useful for long transfers.
* Features an rsync mode for when two different snapshotting regimes are on
source and destination, and zfs send/receive won't work.

Tmux is a terminal multiplexer, it enables a number of terminals to be accessed
and controlled from a single terminal. tmux is intended to be a simple, modern,
BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.
The settings manager allows you to configure every detail of your desktop

DocDiff compares two text files and shows the difference. It can compare files
word by word, character by character, or line by line. It has several output
formats such as HTML, tty, Manued, or user-defined markup.
It supports several encodings and end-of-line characters, including ASCII (and
other single byte encodings such as ISO-8859-*), UTF-8, EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, CR,
LF, and CRLF.

Aiksaurus is a set of libraries and applications which provide a thesaurus
(currently English only, based on Guttenburg's Moby thesaurus) using native
GUI on several platforms: UNIX (GTK+ & Qt), Win32 & MacOSX (Cocoa). The core
library itself is platform-independent. The principal language is C++, with
some use of Cocoa/ObjC++; wrappers are provided for C and Cocoa/ObjC.
Aiksausus plugins exist for AbiWord on UNIX and Win32; the library is also
used by Lyx; and the new Cocoa port provides a MacOSX NSService hook so that
Safari and other such applications can use this thesaurus without
Aiksaurus-specific development.
