NBTScan.
NetBIOS
Name Network Scanner. |
NBTscan is a program for scanning IP networks for NetBIOS name information. It sends NetBIOS status query to each address in supplied range and lists received information in human readable form. For each responded host it lists IP address, NetBIOS computer name, logged-in user name and MAC address. |

This
is
another program that does the same thing, but
in a
slightly different way. |

distributions,
I
am pretty sure this has all of them listed. Its called Live CD. |
|
| Small LINUX | BBC LINUX | This is a complete distribution of LINUX that will fit on a single Business card size CD. |
| Small LINUX | Knoppix.net | This is a distribution of LINUX that resides on a single CD-ROM. You can use it to demonstrate LINUX, you can use it to find out if ALL your fancy hardware will be recognized by the latest and greatest distribution. |
| Debian info site |
This
site
lists quite a bit of info on Debian. Installation, help and other stuff
about Debian. |
|
| Gnoppix |
Knoppix uses the
KDE desk top.
Gnoppix uses the Gnome desk top. It also uses X.org.
From the web site: Gnoppix
is a LINUX live
CD based upon Debian
GNU/LINUX 3.0 (woody). It can be compared to Knoppix
but GNOPPIX
uses GNOME
as
desktop environment.

| White Box LINUX |
This
product is derived from the Free/Open Source Software made
available by Red Hat, Inc but IS
NOT
produced, maintained or supported
by Red Hat. The Goal of White Box LINUX To provide an unencumbered RPM based LINUX distribution that retains enough compatibility with Red Hat LINUX to allow easy upgrades and to retain compatibility with their Errata srpms. Being based off of RHEL3 means that a machine should be able to avoid the upgrade treadmill until Oct 2008 since RHEL promises Errata availability for five years from date of initial release and RHEL3 shipped in Oct 2003. Or more briefly, to fill the perceived gap between Fedora and RHEL. |

| Xdialog Home Page |
Xdialog
is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog"
or "cdialog" programs. It converts any terminal based program into a
program with an X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see and
use while adding even more functionalities (e.g. with the treeview, the
file selector, the edit box, the range box, the help button/box).
Because Xdialog uses GTK+,
it will also match your desktop theme. Documentation
for Xdialog is here. |
