Obviously there are many tools that perform similar functions, I have tried to restrict myself to those where you can get a copy that is free for private use.

Most of south jersey is south of the mason dixon line. I cant understand them at all.
I've been told that since High school that I should do stand up. I was working fast food at the time, and the people I worked with said in like 10 years I'd probably be on TV doing comedy because of my "unique" (Read: WEIRDO) outlook on things.
Hell even here I've been told that before, but I couldn't stand up on a sage with everyone looking at me and all those lights on me, I'd have an anxiety attack and pass out.
I can handle a concert, people love it when the room is dark with a light show, not looking at me lol.

Nihil...
I just registered so I could post this.
You made comments about keeping a thread on-topic (the thread about the Fix-It software)... However, you yourself hi-jacked this thread to talk about why YOU think its hard to work with IM clients and people in other countries...
Maybe next time YOU should start a new thread and follow your own advice.
Or you could just step off your high horse and relax a little bit, but hey, its your life.

I was talking with outerlimit and he wanted to post something but since he just registered, it'd have to be approved so I'm posting it for him:

We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do just about anything with almost nothing.

With three posts in a row, it would seem so...............but the other two posts seem to have disappeared?
Both of outerlimits posts were visibile a few minutes ago.....2 minute difference.............the young lad needs to learn netpatience
Sorry, they are still there............but odd that his post count is zero?

I'll post some of the network mgt tools that I've been using lately.
Nagios- Service monitoring and alerting.
http://www.nagios.org/
Cacti- Graphing of router/switch port utilization. Also graph some stats of CPU, memory, disk, etc on servers.
http://www.cacti.net/
NetDisco- Pretty old open source program to map switches. I use this a lot to report on switch configuration, locating hosts, finding ports with multiple devices, etc. Great tool. Just wish it was still being developed.
http://www.netdisco.org/
NetDOT- Hopefully my replacement for NetDisco. I just have to get a couple of the features to work in my environment. The docs are lacking but I'm starting to figure it all out...
https://netdot.uoregon.edu/trac/
Awstats- Gather and report on internal web services that we host. Shows a ton of great stats...
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/
WSUS- Windows Server Update Services- Gotta keep them m$ boxes patched...
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/wsus/default.aspx
System Center Configuration Manger 2007 (SCCM2K7)- Gotta keep them m$ boxes and third party software patched. Also have to audit for compliance and deploy new boxen. Still deploying this....
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/c...r/default.aspx
Microsoft Baseline Security Scanner- (MBSA)- useful to prove to auditors patch status and basic config of Windows based servers.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../cc184924.aspx
Nessus w/professional feed- You know what this is... I wish I could afford the security center!
http://www.nessus.org/nessus/
Systernals Suite- Too many uses... you must master ASAP!
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s...c5a693683.aspx
Nipper- Network Infrastructure Parser- Nice little tool to audit your network device configurations...
http://nipper.titania.co.uk/
OSSEC- Host based IDS- Great tool for monitoring systems. It's also pretty useful for proving change management.
http://www.ossec.net/
Snort- Network based IDS- Great tool all around. There are a ton of uses for Snort. I use it a lot as a backup to my Firewall/IPS and Proxy to make sure it's stopping what it should. I also deploy sensors on segments with important servers to detect internal threats.
http://www.snort.org/
There are a TON more that I use but here are the few that I've been using just about every day for the last several months.

Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

Phish haven't I taught you anything?
Where is Hydra?
Where is Hping?
Where is IPSorcery?
Gotta have custom packets you know Non-Standard ones are one of the cool ways to test custom applications which a lot of the times crash when you send non standard packets to them.
By the way I'll add those 3 tools to my list along with these:
mutt - one of the better email clients you can use over SSH without loading a GUI. Which is really not so great unless you're on your home network with a good connection, but from school, not so much.
Bash, Csh - need something right?
Eterm - Not that I care about differences between this and X-Term, I use both, but E-Term is not only pretty, it's got a neat default font.
The Novell Mail client.
YAST2 (GUI one) and YAST (The text mode one)....Best configuration tool out there.
VSFTP - great server
PureFTP - another great one.
vim - don't need to say anything. No matter what OS you're using, if it was made in the last couple years you can use this on it.
Outlook....To an extent. That whole "Click on a mail to delete it and you'll be loading it first allowing **** to spread before you can delete it" kind of blows, but other than that it's nice. Good organization and all.
The BSD Kernel.
The Linux Kernel.
DooM
DooM2
Final DooM
Quake
Quake2
Quake 3
Unreal Tournament (all)
gcc and cc
swaret
slackpkg
pkg_add
/stand/sysinstall
chsh (You can set their shell to rm -rf /user/home/* for funny stuff lol)
NT Pinball
Balsa
Opera...Which is what Firefox should have been had they not filled it with water. Imagine a 3 oz glass with a 40 oz being poured into it. That's Firefox now.
Dillo
Links
Lynx
E-Links
curl
nmap
top
ps
kill
zombiezapper
prboom
mail
useradd
Ad-Aware
Spybot
AVG
Windows Update
xmms
LMMS (Very high on the list)
alsamixer
Window Maker
Enlightenment (Both 16 and E-17, which is what I'm using right now on this BSD box)
bmp
audacious
mp3blaster
lame (This is what I use to take the WAV output files from LMMS and make MP3s of my music)
Xterm
Wterm
KDE
Gnome
FVWM, FVWM2
mc
portupgrade
freebsd-update
portupdate-scan
gftp (One of the few good clients for FTP)
cat
mount
cdp
cvsup
There's probably more, but these are things I actually use quite a lot.

What the hell? Yeah, let's insult the south some more, it's all good. Considering we have more "tech support" from India than we do in the US, sure, let's rag on the south! Dumbasses....I swear, I'm going to get my dad's M1-Garands out and I'm sure not many of you even know what war those served in...
