Enlightenment Foundation Libraries Application Round Up

Most folks who have been around Linux and/or open source software for awhile are aware of what GTK and QT are - tool kits for building applications. Something that not as many may be aware of is that there is another open source tool kit out there - the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. These serve as the building blocks not only for the Enlightenment desktop, but also for a growing number of applications.

Today I am going to provide a quick round up of applications written utilizing the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries.

System Tools -

Terminology - Terminal Emulator

Terminology brings "fun" back to the terminal while still being plenty practical. Supporting split panes and slew of other nice features it is stable and fast.

Econnman - Connection Manager

A simple, but functional, lightweight GUI front end for the Connman connection manager. Supports wired and wireless connections.

eSudo - Graphical sudo Tool

A simple graphical tool for the sudo command. Supports the same functions as similar tools such as gksudo. Also supports direct integration with other python EFL applications.

eInfo - System Information Tool

A tool for displaying information about the hardware in your computer. Supports exporting the formation collected to a text file.

eCcess - System Controls

eCcess provides a few different functions. It is a GUI for managing users on the current OS and assigning/removing group permissions. It can change the current date and time and finally it provides a simple task manager.

eDeb - Graphical Debian Package Installer

Similar to gDebi, eDeb allows the user to install Debian package files using a GUI.

eepDater - Apt-Get System Updater

A tool for installing package updates on apt-get based systems.

Multimedia Applications - 

Rage - Video Player

Enjoy - Music Player

Valosoitn - Music Player

eAndora - Pandora Radio Player

Utilities -

ePhoto - Image Viewer

eQuate - Calculator

ePour - Torrent Client

Enventor - EDC Editor

Echo

Econcentration

Escape from Booty Bay (Angry Birds Clone)

Wrapping Up -

Hopefully I've introduced you to some new wonderful applications today! Most of this software is fairly new though, so sadly many of them will not have packages in many Linux distribution's repositories. You can however find every application listed here in the Bodhi 3.0.0 repos (or you can add this repo to your Ubuntu 14.04 install).

If you know of an awesome EFL based application that I haven't included here today - please let us know what it is - and where to find it - in the comments below.
