Autofs controls the operation of the automount daemons. The automount daemons automatically mount filesystems when they are used and unmount them after a period of inactivity. This is done based on a set of pre-configured maps.

The kernel automounter implements an almost complete SunOS style automounter under Linux. A recent version of the kernel autofs4 module (builtin or separate) is required.

This is the autofs daemon.

This package provides the console with the same keyboard configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result, there is no need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to make simple customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between Latin and non-Latin mode, etc.

The package also installs console fonts supporting many of the world's languages. It provides an unified set of font faces - the classic VGA, the simplistic Fixed, and the cleaned Terminus, TerminusBold and TerminusBoldVGA.

D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications. Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms of complexity.

On systemd systems, this package opts in to the session model in which a user's session starts the first time they log in, and does not end until all their login sessions have ended. This model merges all parallel non-graphical login sessions (text mode, ssh, cron, etc.), and up to one graphical session, into a single "user-session" or "super-session" within which all background D-Bus services are shared.

Multiple graphical sessions per user are not currently supported in this mode; as a result, it is particularly suitable for gdm, which responds to requests to open a parallel graphical session by switching to the existing graphical session and unlocking it.

To retain dbus' traditional session semantics, in which login sessions are artificially isolated from each other, remove this package and install dbus-x11 instead.

See the dbus package description for more information about D-Bus in general.

Machine-readable data files, shared objects and programs used by the C library for localization (l10n) and internationalization (i18n) support.

This package contains tools to generate locale definitions from source files (included in this package). It allows you to customize which definitions actually get generated. This is a space-saver over how this package used to be, with all locales generated by default. This created a package that unpacked to an excess of 30 megs.

Make an installation able to netboot as an LTSP client. For LTSP servers, also install the suggested packages (dnsmasq etc).

LTSP helps in netbooting LAN clients from a single installation that resides in a chroot or a VM on the LTSP server. This way maintaining tens or hundreds of clients is as easy as maintaining a single PC.

Toto je přenositelná varianta OpenSSH, svobodného provedení Secure Shell protokolu, specifikovaného pracovní skupinou secsh při organizaci IETF.

SSH (Secure Shell) je program pro přihlašování a vykonání příkazů na vzdáleném počítači. Zajišťuje zabezpečenou šifrovanou komunikaci mezi dvěma (zprvu) nedůvěryhodnými počítači přes nezabezpečenou síť. Dále umožňuje přesměrovat spojení grafického serveru X11 a vůbec libovolné TCP/IP porty. Díky tomu je možné zajistit zabezpečený komunikační kanál pro aplikace.

Tento balíček poskytuje server sshd.

Pozor, v některých zemích může být používání jakéhokoli šifrování bez speciálního povolení protizákonné!

Síťová služba sshd nahrazuje svou nezabezpečenou předchůdkyni rshd, a to ve většině případů.

p910nd is a small daemon that copies any data received on the port it is listening on to the corresponding printer port.

It is primarily intended for diskless Linux hosts running as printer drivers but there is no reason why it could not be used on diskful hosts.

Port 9100 is copied to /dev/lp0, 9101 to /dev/lp1 and 9102 to /dev/lp2. The default is port 9100 to /dev/lp0.

PulseAudio bylo dříve známo též jako Polypaudio. Jedná se o zvukový server pro systémy POSIX a WIN32. Jedná se o náhradu zvukového serveru ESD s mnohem lepší reakční dobou, lepší kvalitou mixování/vzorkování a celkovou architekturou.

Některé vlastnosti PulseAudio:

  • Vysoce kvalitní SW pro mixování více zvukových proudů s podporou více jak jednoho zdroje/kanálu. Používá se pro kombinaci více zvukových karet do jedné (s přizpůsobením vzorkovací frekvence).

* Široká škála podporovaných klientských knihoven. Podporováno je ESD, ALSA, oss, libao a GStreamer. Nativní pluginy PulseAudio jsou k dispozici pro xmms a mplayer.

* Dobré chování při nízké odezvě a velmi rychlý reakční čas při nahrávání a přehrávání. Schopnost kompletní synchronizace více přehrávaných proudů.

* Síťová transparentnost umožňující přehrávání a nahrávání zvuku z různých počítačů a nejen z toho, na kterém to běží.

* Rozšiřitelná architektura se zásuvnými moduly pro jackd, vícekanálové rtp, lirc a avahi.

Tento balíček obsahuje daemon a základní moduly.

xpdf is a light-weight open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files (also called 'Adobe Acrobat' or 'Acrobat' files). This is just the xpdf viewer client; various command-line pdf tools are now provided via the poppler-utils package.

Debian's xpdf is a fork of Xpdf version 3, modified to use the Poppler PDF rendering library but keeping the Motif toolkit, and nowadays maintained as the xpopple project.

The Xorg X server is an X server for several architectures and operating systems, which is derived from the XFree86 4.x series of X servers.

The Xorg server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors, and supersedes all XFree86 X servers.

More information about X.Org can be found at:

This package is built from the X.org xserver module.
