bpython is a fancy interface to the Python interpreter. It has the following features:

Caja is the official file manager for the MATE desktop. It allows for browsing directories, as well as previewing files and launching applications associated with them. It is also responsible for handling the icons on the MATE desktop. It works on local and remote file systems.

Caja is extensible through a plugin system, similar to that of GNOME Nautilus, of which Caja is a fork.

Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of backing up the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as the backend.

• Support for local, remote, or cloud backup locations, such as Amazon S3 and Rackspace Cloud Files
• Securely encrypts and compresses your data
• Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup
• Schedules regular backups
• Integrates well into your GNOME desktop

GTick is an acoustical and graphical metronome application (usually used to support musicians at practising an instrument). It features a scale from 30 to 250 beats per minute and 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and other meters. You need a sound device for using it.

The main goal of this application is to lower the initial barrier of using SCAP. Therefore, the scope of very narrow - SCAP Workbench only scans a single machine and only with XCCDF/SDS (no direct OVAL evaluation). The assumption is that this is enough for users who want to scan a few machines and users with huge amount of machines to scan will just use scap-workbench to test or hand-tune their content before deploying it with more advanced (and harder to use) tools like spacewalk.

Feature highlights:

• XCCDF 1.1 and 1.2 support
• Source Data Stream 1.2 support
• XCCDF 1.2 Tailoring file support
• Evaluation of local machine
• Evaluation of remote machine (using ssh)
• Limited tailoring support - selection and unselection
• Saving results as XCCDF 1.1 or 1.2 (depending on input) or ARF 1.1

Veusz3 is an interactive graphical scientific plotting and graphing package. It is designed to produce publication-ready Postscript or PDF output. SVG, EMF and bitmap export formats are also supported. Data can be read from text, CSV, HDF5 or FITS files. In addition, you can also enter, manipulate or examine data from within the application. The program also provides a command line and scripting interface (based on Python) to its plotting facilities. It can also act as a Python plotting module.

In Veusz3 plots are created by building up plotting widgets with a consistent object-based interface. Plotting types support by Veusz3 include the following: x-y, function, contour, image, stepped, date, vector field, box, polar, ternary, nested and stacked. Plots can also include multiple axes.

Wireshark is an essential tool to capture and analyze the packets arriving or leaving the network interface. It is almost a GUI equivalent of the classic unix tool tcpdump.

Wireshark has a easy to use GUI to capture the packets matching the filter, on the mentioned interface and save them for later analysis.

xmoto is a side-scrolling 2D motocross platform game where the objective is to collect all the floating items in the level and proceed to the checkered finishing ball. The motocross bike that the player rides in xmoto has a lot of bounce, and the if the player hits their head on any solid object the level has to be restarted.

There are hundreds of levels available in xmoto, both included in the initial install, and downloadable from the internet. There is also the ability to challenge fastest times with other players from around the world. and saved ghost data to visually see the runs of other players through the levels.
