Red Hat PowerTools is a collection of software packages built for the Red Hat Linux
7.1 operating system. PowerTools includes the latest versions (as
of the Red Hat Linux release date) of hundreds of programs — so finding an
interesting application should be easy.
Among the many applications are audio programs, chat clients,
development tools, editors, file managers, emulators, games, graphics
programs, productivity applications, math/statistics packages, systems
administration utilities, network management tools, and window managers.
Are you a system administrator? PowerTools features an array of tools
that can make your life easier and possibly replace several expensive
diagnostic utilities with a common application. Take a look at
applications such as Ethereal for analyzing network
protocols, PortSentry to stop port scanners on your
network, or Postfix as an alternative to
Sendmail.
Love playing games? PowerTools contains a number of very fun, basic games, such
as SpeedX, XFrisk,
and Amphetamine.
And since installing and uninstalling software packages on Red Hat Linux is easy using
RPM or Gnome-RPM,
you can quickly try out different applications that do the same thing
before deciding upon the one that is best for you.
