libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels, so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is not unlike the famous AAlib library, with the following improvements:

progress bars for the terminal with PV (Pipe Viewer)

pv gives you a progress bar for your task, based on either the number of bytes it's seen, or the number of newline characters that have come through. It can show you an ETA based on the information it's seen. It can even show you the current rate of throughput, and/or the average rate of throughput.

in case your laptop is stolen...

To all of the mac/linux/bsd users here:
Put this in a shell script, and add it to cron, run it once a minute or so.
if wget http://myserver.com/sshreverse; then ssh -R 2900:localhost:22 User@myserver.com; fi
If your box is ever stolen, put a file on your webserver called "sshreverse". Wait about a minute, then do:
ssh whatever_your_username_is_on_your_mac@localhost -p 2900
Now you've got an SSH connection back into your laptop. Use this to install a keylogger, take a picture, etc. etc.
(This will get you around NAT devices like wifi routers and the like [or firewalls or whatever. This is a reverse ssh session, to the firewall, it looks like an outbound connection])
edit: want to just say that that exact string of commands isn't something I wrote, a fellow hacker recommended it to me about a year ago or so.

duplicity: Main

Duplicity backs directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server.

Modest Spec or Barebones Installation of Ubuntu

If you have a low-spec'ed computer (64 to 128 MB of RAM, less than 1 GHz processor), you may have difficulty with a regular Ubuntu installation. You may, even if you have a higher-spec'ed computer want to create a minimal installation for other reasons.
