As its name suggests, picocom is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation program. It is, in principle, very much like minicom, only it's pico instead of mini!

If you are a PuTTY user, you might find that KiTTY has features you want. It is a Windows-only fork of PuTTY, with some nice extras. Like ZMODEM transfers. Great if you need it.

Atom - a hackable text editor for the 21st Century. This is how GitHub (Wikipedia: GitHub) describes the text editor they always wanted. And built: "A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it." Nice.

It will download sites and upload them to our archive � and it�s really easy to do! The warrior is a virtual machine, so there is no risk to your computer. The warrior will only use your bandwidth and some of your disk space." More about ArchiveTeam on Wikipedia - Archive Team. Sounds like a good cause to contribute to, if you can.
