Red Hat PowerTools is a collection of software packages built for the Red Hat Linux 7.1 operating system. PowerTools includes the latest versions (as of the Red Hat Linux release date) of hundreds of programs — so finding an interesting application should be easy.
Among the many applications are audio programs, chat clients, development tools, editors, file managers, emulators, games, graphics programs, productivity applications, math/statistics packages, systems administration utilities, network management tools, and window managers.
Are you a system administrator? PowerTools features an array of tools that can make your life easier and possibly replace several expensive diagnostic utilities with a common application. Take a look at applications such as Ethereal for analyzing network protocols, PortSentry to stop port scanners on your network, or Postfix as an alternative to Sendmail.
Love playing games? PowerTools contains a number of very fun, basic games, such as SpeedX, XFrisk, and Amphetamine.
And since installing and uninstalling software packages on Red Hat Linux is easy using RPM or Gnome-RPM, you can quickly try out different applications that do the same thing before deciding upon the one that is best for you.
