Linux Utilities

# Linux Utilities

Personal reference list of Linux programs and packages – biased to my work, interests, and needs when setting-up Linux boxes.

Approximately 1.3k programs (1% of Ubuntu repo), arranged alphabetically.

#### Sources

*Ubuntu* repository, *GitHub*, *SourceForge*, vendor websites.  
Collated over a number of years from Linux magazines, web searches, and repo hunting.

#### Notes

A tick in the repo column means the package should exist in the main Ubuntu repo. Nevertheless, some packages can be hidden away &ndash; these are marked with *'use apt'* (`apt search <pkg>` to search and `sudo apt install <pkg>` to install).

Some of the programs listed are included by default with Ubuntu-based distros. Nevertheless, they remain, since on some distro installs they are curiously absent.
