Open Source Linux Apps for Download
These are free open source programs for Linux, licensed under the GNU General Public License. The download files include source code, a build script (make), and a user guide. Packages in DEB and RPM format are also available.
dkopp
Backup files to DVD or Blue-Ray disc. Do a Full or incremental backup with full or incremental media verification. Specify included and excluded directories and files at any level, using a GUI browser. Report disk/backup differences at summary, directory, or file level.
findwild
Search directories/files/contents for matching wildcard patterns. Specify include/exclude criteria for directories/files/contents. Use multiple patterns if needed, with AND/OR matching conditions. Search files found in a prior search (narrow the search). Recall, edit, and re-run prior search criteria.
fotoxx (Deutsch) (Español)
Edit photos and manage a large collection. Includes thumbnail image browser and navigator, RAW file import, a comprehensive set of edit functions working in deep color, fast full-image feedback, multiple undo/redo, select/copy/paste, file versioning, batch transforms, HDR and panorama composites, metadata edit, fast search and display, named image subsets (views).
galaxy
Stellar motion simulation. Watch a few "stars" move around each-other, steered only by their mutual attractions, or watch thousands of random stars evolve into a spiral galaxy.
lbench
Measure multi-thread scalability of CPU, cache, memory, disk, mutex locks, thread and subprocess creation. Test CPU cooling.
mashup
Make a photo montage. Select image files and add to a layout page. Add text of any size and font. Rearrange and resize images and text using the mouse. Save or print the finished layout.
mystuff
Create a custom menu in a popup window. Menus have icons and/or text. Arrange the layout by dragging menus with the mouse. Add non-menu text for category headings or other information.
picpuz
Classic jigsaw puzzle. Divide an image into puzzle-pieces, randomize, and put back together using the mouse.
sortpuz
Mouse-driven geometric puzzle. Unscramble a square matrix of numbered tiles to put them in order. Mimics the classic hand puzzle with sliding tiles.
ukopp
Copy files to a USB stick or any disk-equivalent media. Copies only new and modified files and is therefore fast. Specify directories or files to include or exclude at any level, using a GUI browser. Includes wildcard matching. Report disk/backup differences at summary, directory, or file level. Optionally retain old file versions in the backup for a specified time or version count.
watsup
Monitor system loading (CPU, memory, disk, network) in a small panel window. Click for a compact popup view of system resources and which top processes are using how much. Filter processes by name or owner. Click to kill an errant process.
zfuncs
A collection of Linux and GTK utility functions used by the other applications in this list.
tarballs - source code, build script (make), and user guide.
packages - DEB and RPM packages that may work for your distro.
recent changes - change logs for latest releases for all programs.
contact - developer's e-mail address - report problems or ask questions here.
