Appliances 1. Turnkey Linux

First launched in 2008, Turnkey provides pre-configured virtual appliances based on open source applications. Their most recent offering is a backup and migration appliance, and they also offer LAMP stack, Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, File server, Ruby on Rails, and dozens of other appliances. Operating System: Linux.

Appliances huh? What about Dishwasher, Blender, and Refrigerator? Does it have those too? Just kidding all you Linux junkies.. Don't flame me too bad, but I have never heard the term "appliances" in software descriptions before.

http://www.nestersoft.com/timeleft/ (count down timer)

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-windows-vista/ (I use 2 monitors and this keeps my desktop icons in place)

http://instant-eyedropper.com/ (show the RGB color of what you are pointing at on the screen)

http://www.jingproject.com/ (free screen capturing-I use it daily)

http://ekot.dk/JPEGCrops/ (crop lots of pictures to same size at once)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/ (brilliant!)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ (free pdf creation)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/ (split or merge pdf files)

http://www.posteriza.com/es/index.php?lang=en_US (convert a picture into a huge poster)

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897434.aspx (ZoomIt has a count down timer, gives ability to draw on screen, and zoom in on screen)

Enjoy...

Does anyone know of an app that can sort the folders in a windows system by size? I want to find out which folders have the most junk in them. Thanks.

Here is the corrected link for 15. SilentEye.

You duplicated the link for Securefolders.

heh--I just copied the HTML from the source page. They must have duplicated it.

Thanks for the correction.

[ShadowAce]

Thanks for the list! I always appreciate finding new apps to do things easier.

This thread is relevant to my interests. I shall peruse in a more fulsome manner at a time when work commitments do not require my attention.

Bump for later, IOW. ;-)
