Solaris/x86 software you might be interested in…

While we wait for Sun to fill up its IPS repository for OpenSolaris and whether third parties create good repos or not (Blastwave, yach!), here’s a three links to binary packages that might interest you and shouldn’t be missing on any system (I’ve tested them only under Solaris Nevada/OpenSolaris). All links are SVR4 packages:

Transmission 1.21: A decent Gnome based torrent client. Stable.

WINE 1.1.2: No explanations needed. Appears stable. Runs at least the three main apps from Office 2007.

Songbird 0.7: A pretty cool iTunes look-a-like. Requires the appropriate GStreamer modules for the respective file formats.

And if you feel really bored and need to watch deviants at play, or maybe just need a virtual toy world, there’s also a bonus: SecondLife for Solaris.
