NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available
at all times. The point of NetworkManager is to make networking
configuration and setup as painless and automatic as possible. If
using DHCP, NetworkManager is intended to replace default routes,
obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server, and change name servers
whenever it sees fit.

This package contains GNOME utilities and applications for use with
NetworkManager, including a panel applet for wireless networks.

NetworkManager-openvpn provides VPN support to NetworkManager for
OpenVPN.

NetworkManager-pptp provides VPN support to NetworkManager for PPTP.

NetworkManager-vpnc provides VPN support to NetworkManager for vpnc.

D-BUS notification daemon.

nss-mdns is a plug-in for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing a hostname
resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka
Apple Bonjour), and effectively allowing name resolution by common
Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.

nss-mdns provides only client functionality, which means that you have
to run a mDNS responder daemon separately from nss-mdns if you want to
register the local hostname via mDNS. I recommend Avahi.

By default, nss-mdns tries to contact a running avahi-daemon to resolve
hostnames and addresses and makes use of its superior record cacheing.

This package provides as much compatibility as possible for packages
installed into the old /opt/gnome prefix. The package installs the

/opt/gnome. If you want to install this package, you need to have at
least one useful file in /opt/gnome or create it just now.

This is a gaim plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR)
Messaging. OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM
by providing: - Encryption

- No one else can read your instant messages.

- Authentication

- You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.

- Deniability

- The messages you send do _not_ have digital signatures that are
checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a
conversation to make them look like they came from you. However,
_during_ a conversation, your correspondent is assured the
messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.

- Perfect forward secrecy

- If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is
compromised.
