Introduction

Within this page and its sub-pages we will collect all cl tools, system administration utilities and applications installed on your computer. We will show you, where they are located, if you don't get any start icon. This can sometimes happen. But for the most cli utilities there are no start icons. So you can set a link to your desktop, if you like or follow the instructions on Application Management Page.
