This page contains 4 sections:
- Names - Just an alphabetic list of names of the requested software packages
I would suggest adding a (roman) number and letting anyone who likes the package to bump it up a notch. Final decission is always made by Klaus Knopper, so I would suggest writing something convincing in the sections below.
- Why - Write down why you would want a particular package inluded on the CD
Don't forget to mention what it does, and why it's better than any similar package included on the CD...
- Why not... - Write down why you think a particular package shouldn't be included
Think of non-free software, excessive bugs, etc.
- Comments - General comments to this page
Packages that you would want to see removed from Knoppix can be put in SoftwareRemovalRequests.

Why...
- Gkrellm
- Is a skinnable system monitor with lots preconfigured monitors. It's uber-cool and impresses users *alot*!
- nmapfe
- Is a GUI for nmap - I find it simpler to use when stressed out sorting a problem, rather than trying to remember all the command line switches!
- ntop
- Is a web accessible network monitor - ideal to put on a portable to monitor a connection in another building. Would make Knoppix even more useful for fast system diagnostics
- Opera
- It's a great browser. It remembers tabs, IE like keycombos, excellent standard conformant. Much smaller than Mozilla, don't think you should replace Konqueror (also), since it's an intergral part of KDE.
- HenkPoley
- Scripts for downloading and installing non-free stuff
- because people need them... and that would put knoppix one click from being a perfect portable dvd-player ;)
- "The Ultimate Internet Config Tool"
- Because most people don't do the difference between a ppp, a pppoe and an ethernet link, some very simple interface could gather them all?
- xmmsarts
- aRts (KDE sound deamon) output plugin for XMMS. Quite helpfull. You might need xmmsarts/unstable though.
- HenkPoley
- xcdRoast
- XcdRoast is an Excellent (personal opinion) Cd-Burning program. Some users have also issues setting up K3B. ?XcdRoast also offers many users a familiar interface to work with. ((This app WAS on knoppix before release 3.2) I dont know why it was removed.) - toast
- a HTML editor
- for productivity !
- John the Ripper
- One of those tools I regularly use when doing penetration testing. It is fairly small so wont take up much space either (currently run it off my flash disk after compiling it under Mandrake on another machine).
Why not...
- Opera
- It's non-free... Opera7 is much slower than Opera6 on some older machines, my P100-40MB is too slow, but heard of P166-64MB which runs fine. You could include both versions, and let a script decide what version will be used.
