Netatalk is an OpenSource software package, that can be used to turn an
inexpensive *NIX machine into an extremely high-performance and reliable
file server for Macintosh computers.
Using Netatalk's AFP 3.4 compliant file-server leads to significantly higher
transmission speeds compared with Macs accessing a server via SaMBa/NFS
while providing clients with the best possible user experience (full support
for Macintosh metadata, flawlessly supporting mixed environments of classic
MacOS and MacOS X clients)
mod_xsendfile is a small Apache2 module that processes X-SENDFILE headers
registered by the original output handler.
If it encounters the presence of such header it will discard all output and
send the file specified by that header instead using Apache internals
including all optimizations like caching-headers and sendfile or mmap if
configured.
It is useful for processing script-output of e.g. php, perl or any cgi.
The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an
open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating
systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to
provide a secure, efficient and extensible server which provides HTTP
services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
The 2.x branch of Apache Web Server includes several improvements like
threading, use of APR, native IPv6 and SSL support, and many more.
Compton is a compositor for X11, which was forked from Dana Jansens' fork
of xcompmgr, and heavily refactored.
Most prominent changes from the original xcompmgr:
- OpenGL/GLX backend in addition to the old XRender backend
- Inactive window transparency and dimming
- Titlebar/frame and menu transparency
- Shadows for ARGB windows, e.g. terminals with transparency
- Colored shadows; new fade system
- Blur of background of transparent windows, window color inversion
- Configuration file support with blacklisting
WMII is a small, dynamic window manager for X11. It supports both classic
and tiling (acme-like) window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and
9p filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with
a new tagging approach and is highly scriptable (with plain shell or Python
and even Chicken).
Its minimalist philosophy attempts to not exceed 10.000 lines of code
(including all shipped utilities and libraries), to enforce simplicity and
clarity (read: it is hackable and beautiful).

The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014
compatible terminals for programs that can't use the window
system directly. If the underlying operating system supports
terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH
signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will use the
facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it
is resized.
BMPanel (bitmap panel) is nice, lightweight, NetWM-compatible panel for your
X11 desktop. It currently features:
- Look'n'feel customization via themes (20 of them included)
- A bunch of widgets: desktop switcher, taskbar, launchbar, systray,
clock, decor, empty (unofficial temperature widget also available)
- Pseudo (default) and compositing (optional) transparency support
- Written in C with speed and clarity in mind
- Small number of dependencies, briefly: glib2, cairo, pango, libX11
- Small memory footprint (about 2-4 megabytes)
- Small executable (80 kilobytes at the moment)
xwatchwin allows you to peek at a window on another X server.
To use it, you must specify the display name of the machine you want
to watch, then the name of the window on that machine.
Xwatchwin will attempt to connect with the X server
hostname:0.0, and if successful, will try to retrieve a copy of
the window in which you specified interest.
You may specify the window you want to watch either by name or by its
window id, usually a hexidecimal number. Usually specifying the
window by name is simpler, although not all windows have names
associated with them; in that case you must use the window id option.
If the window you want to watch is not in a viewable state,
xwatchwin will tell you so and exit. If while you are watching
a window it becomes 'unviewable', xwatchwin will wait until the
window becomes 'viewable' again.
xwatchwin was written as an aid to a class for people learning
to use X. The idea is that the instructor would type into an xterm
window on his/her display and the students would use xwatchwin
to see what the instructor typed. The students could then type the
same thing in their own terminal windows. Hopefully others will find
equally (if not more) constructive uses.
xclip is a command line utility that is designed to run on any system with an
X11 implementation. It provides an interface to X selections ("the clipboard")
from the command line. It can read data from standard in or a file and place it
in an X selection for pasting into other X applications. xclip can also print
an X selection to standard out, which can then be redirected to a file or
another program.
FEATURES
========
* Reads data piped to standard in or files given as arguments
* Prints contents of selection to standard out
* Accesses the XA_PRIMARY, XA_SECONDARY or XA_CLIPBOARD selection
* Supports the INCR mechanism for large transfers
* Connects to the X display in $DISPLAY, or specified with -display host:0
* Waits for selection requests in the background
