Yadex is a Doom level (wad) editor for Unix systems running X, including Linux. It supports Doom alpha, Doom beta, Doom, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, Doom II, Heretic and also, in a more or less limited way, Hexen and Strife. It is available under the terms of the GPL.

Yadex is descended from DEU 5.21. Therefore, as you might expect, it's a rather low-level editor that requires you to take care of a lot of detail but on the flip side allows you to control very precisely what you are doing. In addition, it has many advanced functions that DEU didn't have, to make certain tedious tasks easy.

YanC or "Yet another nV Configurator" is a small tool which you can use to change the nVidia-specific settings (almost) as easily as with the Windows-drivers. You can edit the settings for the AGP-Support, the Cursor Shadow, the nVidia-Logo, for Digital Vibrance Control and, of course, TwinView.
Furthermore, YanC offers the possibility to run your OpenGL-applications (e.g. games) with your favourite settings for antialiasing, anisotropic texture filtering and vsync to blank without difficult command-line operations. If you're intimidated by setting environment variables or editing your XF86Config file, give this tool a try.

Additional System Requirements:

A GPL SDL implementation of the classic game Arkanoid, in which a ball bounces on a map that has a number of bricks. As the ball hits bricks, they are removed from the map. If a balll eaves the bottom of the screen, the ball is lost, and the player looses a life. To avoid this, the player can control a paddle on which the ball bounces. Each time a brick is removed, the player is awarded points. The aim of the game is to score the most point. Yanoid has been designed to be extensible and flexible, allowing the game to be extended in novel ways. It is currently quite playable and enjoyable. While the main engine is written in C++, Yanoid uses python scripts to create maps, objects, etc.

YAWn! Linux is a client for the YAWn! service which keeps track of the names used by Return to Castle Wolfenstein players.
Players are tracked by their unique PunkBuster GUID, thus players can not hide behind a fake name to play reckless or purposely misbehave.
YAWn! adds a console command to Return to Castle Wolfenstein that lists all players like PunkBuster does, but additionally displaying the other names this player used before, or for players that use YAWn! themselves, the name they registered under and a taunt message they chose.

Additional System Requirements: YAWn! Linux requires at least GLib 2.2.2, GTK+ 2.0 and libcurl 7.10.0.
