La mayor parte de los lectores de este BLOG seguramente ya conocen páginas como SOFTONIC en las que encontrar cientos y cientos de programas libres y no libres clasificados y ordenados de acuerdo a Dios sabe que criterios. Sin embargo, tal densidad de información puede resultar incómoda, incluso confusa, para usuarios con pocas ganas de evaluar por si mismos las bondades de las diferentes aplicaciones. Además, la cobertura de sistemas LINUX es claramente insuficiente, vaga y, en la mayor parte de los casos, desacertada. Por esa razón me he decidido a crear este BLOG, que dedico a todos aquellos que durante los últimos años han confiado en mi criterio a la hora de elegir los mejores programas, con la esperanza de que os sirva de GUIA para instalar en vuestro equipo el MEJOR SOFTWARE LIBRE de la red.

Only used blocks are copied and stored into an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied onto removable media (ZIP for example), burned on a CD-R, etc.
This makes it possible to save a full Linux/Windows system with a single operation. In case of a problem (virus, crash, error, etc.), you just have to restore, and after several minutes, your entire system is restored (boot, files, etc.), and fully working.
This is very useful when installing the same software on many machines: just install one of them, create an image, and restore the image on all other machines.

It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via the wikipedia, last.fm support, optional iPod support (assuming you have python-gpod installed).
In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in shoutcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library), downloading of guitar tablature from fretplay.com, and submitting played tracks on your iPod to last.fm.

gopchop
---
---
Fast, lossless cuts-only editor for MPEG2 video files. Gopchop cuts and merges MPEG2 video streams. gopchop uses a method to cut streams that does not require re-encoding, and therefore is fast and not prone to the artifacts and degradation of quality inherent in re-encoding.
However, cuts are limited to I-frames or group-of-picture (GOP) boundaries. These frames occur frequently enough, and often times at scene transitions, so that gopchop's method is adequate for many applications.
The typical use is manually editing commercials out of recorded television programs.
Another application is splitting .VOB files from dual-layer DVD rips so that the content can be
re-authored such that each half will fit on one single-layer DVD recordable.

crack-attack
---
---
Crack Attack is an OpenGL puzzle game similar to the Super Nintendo game "Tetris Attack". Slowly, your stack of colored blocks grows from the bottom, and you've got to make sure it never reaches the top. If it does, you lose. To eliminate blocks from the stack, line up at least three of one color, horizontally or vertically. Once you do, those blocks disappear, and put off slightly your inevitable demise.
Crack Attack is very slow without hardware acceleration. For Xorg users, this means you want DRI.

icebreaker
---
---
There's a bunch of penguins on an iceberg in Antarctica. You have been selected to catch them so they can be shipped to Finland, where they are essential to a secret plot for world domination.
In order to trap the penguins, you'll need to break the iceberg into small chunks. (They're afraid of water, for no apparent reason. Ah well. "The Matrix" had more plot holes than this, and it still was a hit.) You do this by melting lines in the ice with Special High-Tech GNU Tools.
Once 80% or more of the iceberg is gone, the remaining chunks are small enough for shipping. Of course, if you manage to get rid of more than that, you'll save on postage, thus earning you exponential amounts of Geek Cred (a.k.a. "score").

tuxpaint

Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young children. It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool. It IS meant to be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a cartoon character help let the user know what's going on, and keeps them entertained.
Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.
There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.
