Feel free to send me your comments about these programs or some additions.
I tried to avoid programs which are not even free for personal use.
Floppy disks:
Reading EXT2:
Text Editors: which can correctly open text files in Unix format
Other important features: Search/Replace, clickable & highlighted URLs, (Color
and Unicode)
Postscript Viewer:
FTP Clients:
Secure File Transfer:
Time Synchronization:
Also have a look at the "Diskless Windows Cookbook " in the LTSP Contrib Area.
Background:
From this list I have only used the W2K-TFTP once for a customer with the 3Com MBA Utility Disk, while
it can be used as well with Etherboot
tagged images for other NIC brands.
The solution used a netbooted DOS with MS Client 3.0 to easily restore Windows disk
images with Symantec Ghost (see appdeploy.com for similar tools).
Sure there are several possibilities to do this with Linux but for cloning NT4/W2K
the NTFS support is rather experimental and automatically changing the SID and computer
name is another issue.
In general installing applications with FireDaemon
(instead of srvany in the Windows NT/2000 Resource Kit
which is not freely available) may work also.
At least srvany for NT is available here
but without the installer instsrv.exe so services can only be installed via Regedit (see Q137890).
Note that some of the ResKit tools are available for free download: W2K / NT
Secure Shell:
TFTP Servers:
In Autumn 2000 i tested some different TFTP servers and found out that most of them do not install/run as a service, especially under W2K.
