A.M.I.C.U.S. (Automatic Multimedia Installation
Configuration Utility System) helps users quickly
and easily install and configure MythTV on
generic PC hardware. It uses the Debian
Netinst CD to install GNU/Linux and just the required packages to allow a functional MythTV on low end hardware.

Bixtep is a command line application for organizing notes in a flexible and customizable way in the Bash shell. Its uses span from quick note taking to managing excerpts, sources, and any other type of textual content. All data is stored in an XML file.

rrs is a reverse (connecting) remote shell.
Instead of listening, it will connect out to rrs
in listen mode. The listener will accept the
connection and receive a shell from the remote
host. rrs features full pseudo-TTY support, full
OpenSSL support (client/server authentication and
choice of cipher suites), Twofish encryption, a
simple XOR cipher, plain-text sessions, peer-side
session snooping, a daemon option, and
reconnection features. It is known to compile and
run under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and QNX.

Debian packaging utilities for Truecrypt source helps to get Truecrypt running with a minimum of effort under Debian-based Linux systems (Debian and Ubuntu are officially supported). Truecrypt is an open source disk encryption software which uses a concept of containers to store encrypted data. The containers (or volumes) can be read transparently under Linux and Windows. The utilities create installable *.deb packages from the sources and those debs can be used in turn to install the encryption software.

Appctl is a framework for virtually any server
software. It provides a central script called
"ctl" which allows you to start, stop, restart,
maintain, or query the current status of an
application. It is meant as a completely generic
replacement for application-specific startup/stop
scripts. The project also supplies generic
monitoring scripts for clusters, which can
dramatically decrease clustering costs.

ggiterm is a software terminal emulator like
xterm. However instead of X, it uses the GGI
system for its rendering, which allows it to be
displayed on anything from a framebuffer to
multi-screens across networked hosts (including
ordinary X sessions). It features multiple font
formats, anti-aliasing, vt100 compatibility, and full internationalization.

GNU shtool is a compilation of small but very stable and portable shell scripts into a single shell tool. All ingredients were in successful use over many years in various free software projects. The compiled shtool program is intended to be used inside the source tree of free software packages. There it can overtake various (usually non-portable) tasks related to the building and installation of an free software package.

XSH (the XML Editing Shell) is a very powerful
command-line shell designed to allow easy
navigation and manipulation of XML documents. XSH
may be used either interactively or for off-line
XML processing (like bash). XPath can be used to
select parts of an XML document to be listed or
processed. The system shell and Perl are also
accessible from XSH in a very natural way. XSH
itself is written in Perl using the XML::LibXML
bindings of the libxml2 library.

Forban is a P2P file sharing application for link-local and local area networks. Forban works independently from the Internet and uses only the local area capabilities to announce, discover, search, or share files. Forban relies on HTTP and is opportunistic, meaning that it replicates any files of interest seen in its proximity. The Forban protocols are minimalistic to ease the production of other implementations.

Privatix Live-System is a portable encrypted operating system designed to be run directly from a USB flash drive or an external hard drive. This allows the user to safely edit and carry along sensitive data for encrypted communication and anonymous Web surfing. It is based on Debian GNU/Linux.

Spindown is a daemon to spin down idle disks and
thus save energy and give the disks a longer
lifetime. It also works with USB disks and
hot-swappable disks because it uses the device ID
to identify the disk instead of the device name
(such as hda or sdb). This means that it doesn't
matter if the disk is swapped while the daemon is
running.

check_nagios_latency is a Nagios plugin to check
the check latency of the Nagios server.

Graudit is a simple script and signature sets that allows you to find potential security flaws in source code using the GNU utility, grep. It's comparable to other static analysis applications like RATS, SWAAT, and flaw-finder while keeping the technical requirements to a minimum and being very flexible.

Polysh is a tool to aggregate several remote shells into one. It is used to launch an interactive remote shell on many machines at once.
