changetrack

are modified one day and the machine stops working correctly some days later,
changetrack will provide information on which files were modified and thus
help locate the problem.

dockable applets. It acts as a remote control for the XMMS2 media player.
pkgsync
automated package list synchronization
pkgsync is a tool for keeping multiple machines reasonably similar and
clean. Packages can either be in a `must be installed', `may be
installed' or `must not be installed' list (which is presumed to be
distributed separately using a tool such as rdist or cfengine). pkgsync
will take care of meeting the demands put down in the lists, and then
removing everything that is not in the `must' or `may' list and is not
necessary for their operations (as determined by aptitude).
eventstat
kernel event states monitoring tool
Eventstat periodically dumps out the current kernel event state.
It keeps track of current events and outputs the change in events
on each output update. The tool requires sudo to run since it
needs to write to /proc/timer_stats to start and stop the event
monitoring.
visual-regexp
Interactively debug regular expressions
visual-regexp helps to design, debug or more generally work with the perl
regular expressions. Since it is often difficult to write the right regexp
on the first attempt, this tool will show the effect of regexp on a sample
that can be selected.
