This is a version of sed based on GNU sed. It is not a version of
GNU sed, though.
There are several new features (including in-place editing of files,
extended regular expression syntax and a few new commands) and some
bug fixes; see the NEWS file for a brief summary and the ChangeLog
for more detailed descriptions of changes.
The biggest note, i think is the *huge* speed difference, where
regular sed might take a few mins, super-sed can take only seconds
this is not true in all cases, and sometimes you have modify your
regexp syntax, however for the speed increase, it might be worth
it.
Nessus is a security scanner that crawls across a network, looking
for well-known vulnerabilities and common misconfiguration.
It has a unique set of features, including automatic SSL discovery,
services recognition (so it will catch, for instance, a FTP server
running on a port different than 21) and its own scripting language.
The Nessus Security Scanner is released under the GNU General Public
Licence and aims to be easy to use while extremely powerful.
PS: To install the lot in one operation, do nessus-plugins first.
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.
Emplacken is a tool for managing a set of Plack applications based on config
files. It also adds support for privilege dropping and error logs to those Plack
servers that don't support these features natively.
It works be reading a config file and using that to generate a PSGI application
file based on your config. It knows how to generate Catalyst, Mojo, and Mason
app files natively. For other apps, or more complicated setups, you can supply a
template to Emplacken and it will use that to generate the PSGI app.
SandUhr is an alarm clock, which is designed as a sand-glass. The program uses
the X Window System and the GNOME desktop environment. The alarm is delivered
to you by either ringing the console bell, by playing a sound file, or by
starting an external program of your choice.
The program is fully integrated into the GNOME application framework.
o Drag and drop: you may drop a color onto the timer to change the sand's visual
appearance.
o It uses the GNOME help system to provide a manual.
o Use of CORBA: The program provides a CORBA interface. So you may control the
SandUhr from within your own programs.
distcc is a program to distribute compilation of C code across
several machines on a network. distcc should always generate the
same results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and
is often significantly faster than a local compile.
Unlike other distributed build systems, distcc does not require all
machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to
have the same libraries or header files installed. Machines can be
running different operating systems, as long as they have compatible
binary formats or cross-compilers.
distcc sends the complete preprocessed source code across the network
for each job, so all it requires of the volunteer machines is that
they be running the distccd daemon, and that they have an appropriate
compiler installed.
This version also comes with a text-based as well as a GNOME-based monitor
to inspect the load on the cluster, and how it is distributed among the
various distcc nodes.
SendSNPP is a perl program for sending messages through a RFC1861 compliant
SNPP server. SNPP stands for Simple Network Paging Protocol. It is used by a
wide range of paging providers for sending pages. A list of some of the
providers that support the SNPP service is on the WWW site below. SendSNPP
requires no special modules, and has been tested on Linux and Windows systems.
It has a very straight forward interface making it very easy to use.
Feature List:
- Easy addition of new service providers by simply editing a hash
- Supports logging to a file
- Script returns error status to the system when an error occurs
- Automatic message truncation when message exceeds providers limit
- Verbose and descriptive error messages if something goes wrong
- Multiple debugging levels
Makes it easy to set the background in rox instead of having to
having to muck around with the XML API it uses.
-f fill the screen with the image
-s scale the image with out stretching it
-c center image and do not scale
-t tile the image

Phrap is a program for assembling shotgun DNA sequence data.
Among other features, it allows use of the entire read and not just the
trimmed high quality part, it uses a combination of user-supplied and
internally computed data quality information to improve assembly accuracy
in the presence of repeats, it constructs the contig sequence as a mosaic
of the highest quality read segments rather than a consensus, it provides
extensive assembly information to assist in trouble-shooting assembly
problems, and it handles large datasets.
This package also contains Swat and Cross_match.
Swat is a program for searching one or more DNA or protein query sequences
against a sequence database, using (an efficient implementation of) the
Smith-Waterman-Gotoh algorithm.
Cross_Match is a general-purpose utility based on Swat for comparing any
two sets of DNA sequences, and it can be used to:
* produce vector-masked versions of a set of reads
* compare a set of cDNA sequences to a set of cosmids
* compare contigs found by two altanative assembly procedures to each other
* compare phrap contigs to the final edited cosmid sequence.
sgf2tex is a system for typesetting Go games and diagrams using TeX. This
system may be used with either plain TeX or LaTeX. It includes the Metafont
sources for a new set of Go fonts, and a Perl script called Sgf2tex which
translates files in ``Smart Go Format'' (SGF) into TeX.
