The {lambda way} project is free and its installation straightforward, download & install. This wiki is not only a showroom, it's a workshop generating pages where {lambda talk} is systematically (and randomly) tested as a programmable programming language for web design, mathematics, graphics and various other things.
PDF Tools is, among other things, a replacement of DocView for PDF files. The key difference is, that pages are not pre-rendered by e.g. ghostscript and stored in the file-system, but rather created on-demand and stored in memory.
This rendering is performed by a special library named, for whatever reason, poppler, running inside a server program. This program is called epdfinfo and its job is it to successively read requests from Emacs and produce the proper results, i.e. the PNG image of a PDF page.
Actually, displaying PDF files is just one part of PDF Tools. Since poppler can provide us with all kinds of information about a document and is also able to modify it, there is a lot more we can do with it.

xpra or X Persistent Remote Applications is a tool which runs X clients, typically on a remote host, and directs their display to the local machine without losing any state.
Think of Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail and Skype rolled into one, without the centralized surveillance and control. secushare employs GNUnet for end-to-end encryption and anonymizing mesh routing (because it has a more suitable architecture than Tor or I2P) and applies PSYC on top (because it performs better than XMPP, JSON or OStatus) to create a distributed social graph.
Rtl_power is a unix-hacker's approach to the waterfall. Its unique features include:
- Unlimited frequency range. You can do the whole 1.7GHz of a dongle.
- Unlimited time. At least until you run out of disk for logging.
- Unlimited FFT bins. But in practice I don't think I've taken it above 100k bins.
- Quantitative rendering. Exact power levels are logged.
- Runs on anything. A slower computer will use less samples to keep up.
