Software from Matt
I installed the following programs as personal need arose, and I keep the ones I use up to date.
In alphabetical order:
- gnuplot 4.3 (
gnuplot): beta version with awesome new features!
- graphviz 2.2 (
dot, neato): the open source graph-visualization project from AT&T
- ncftp 3.2.0 (
ncftp): a good command-line ftp client
- praat 4.2.0.9 (
praat): audio transcription tool
- open: my (evolving as needed) implementation of OS X's excellent
open program
- RealPlayer 10.0.7.785 (
RealPlayer/realplay): Real Audio player
- RealVNC 4.1.1 (
vncviewer, vncconfig, vncpasswd, vncserver)
- rrdtool 1.2.11 (
rrdtool): the round robin database, a great graphing and logging tool
-
satz-rand 5.0: randomized SAT solver
-
strfile: reads a specially formatted file and builds a database for use by fortune.
-
zchaff: SAT solver
I use Window Maker and have also installed some handy wapps:
-
wmpinboard: post TODO notes, set alarms
-
wmnet: monitor network usage (run with wmnet -l -x 10000000)
-
wmCalClock: displays the time and date
-
wmcpuload: cpu usage
-
wmbluemem: physical memory and swap usage
-
wmint: interrupt monitor
All of these are installed under
/u/post/r, which resembles the root of a file system. To use them, it will probably be easiest to append
/u/post/r/bin to your PATH environment variable.
Important: never put directories writeable by any user at the front of your PATH!
