| ScummVM | Adventure games engine | GPL | Users | ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
It iss on the CDs as far as I know. We have been shipping it for years. -Msmeissn It has problems with mm code - Henne MP3 support (via mad) is disabled in our package. IMHO this is no big issue. Which game does need this? (sndirsch) See [1]: you can rip audio CD tracks to your HD, then have music without inserting the CD. --Herding 13:43, 6 Sep 2005 (MDT) Rip them in .ogg instead of .mp3 format. (sndirsch) The CD Version of 'Flight of the Amazon Queen' with ogg sfx/speech compression is now available from the scummvm download page. (sndirsch) |
| Celestia | Space simulation | GPL | Scientists and Everyone | ... The free space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions.

| apt4rpm | Advanced packaging tool, originally developed for the Debian Linux distribution. | GPL | Users | This should be installed by default, since it is much more convenient to use than YOU. There are also many apt repositories for Suse Linux already available, still IMHO this should be the default way of updating Suse Linux.
--cthiel 04:30, 22 Sep 2005 (MDT) apt should be included (but not default install) because:
--PlasmaHH |

| FUSE | With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a userspace program. | GPL | users | Needed for SSHFS (see below).
FUSe would also be really useful for implementing MacOSX-like packages e.g. klik. Paulatz FUSE is already part of SUSE Linux - will remove this item soon. --cthiel 10:00, 20 Dec 2005 (MST) |
| Tango_Desktop | Icon theme that works with both KDE and Gnome | GPL | Me and probably anyone who has seen it. | I recently installed the Firefox Tango theme and really like the look. The icons look great on my system. I went to the tango web site hoping to find a KDE theme but instead of usable icons they have a complex build system that uses programs that are not on my SuSE system in its (more or less) default install condition. It would be great if someone would put together a yast package to install a Tango theme on a SuSE 10 system.
The tango icons are part of SUSE Linux 10.1. --A jaeger 14:42, 11 February 2006 (UTC) |
