GNU Parted
GNU Parted is a command line tool for creating, destroying, resizing, checking,
and copying partitions and the file systems on them. If you need to create space
for new operating systems, use this tool to reorganize disk usage and copy data
between different hard disks. For more details, see
software/parted/.
GOCR
GOCR is an OCR (optical character recognition) tool. It converts scanned images
of text into text files. For more details, see
.net/.
gzip, tar, bzip2
There are plenty of packaging programs for reducing disk usage. In general, they
differ only in their pack algorithm. Linux can also handle the packaging formats
used on Windows. bzip2 is a bit more efficient than gzip, but needs more time,
depending on the pack algorithm. .
Kate
Kate is a module of the KDE suite. It has the ability to open several files at once
either locally or remotely. With syntax highlighting, project file creation, and ex-
ternal scripts execution, it is a perfect tool for a programmer. For more details, see
http://www.kate-editor.org//.
KDar
Kerr stands for KDE disk archiver and is a hardware-independent backup solution.
KDar uses catalogs (unlike tar), so it is possible to extract a single file without
reading the whole archive and it is also possible to create incremental backups.
KDar can split an archive into multiple slices and trigger the burning of a data CD
or DVD for each slice. For more details, see
.net/.
Konqueror
Konqueror is a file manager that can also be used as a Web browser, document and
image viewer, and CD ripper. For more details, see
.org/
Konqueror's Web browsing functions.
