 Software Addition Requests

This page contains 4 sections:

Packages that you would want to see removed from Knoppix can be put in SoftwareRemovalRequests.


Names


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.

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.
