-the walrus utilities was originally a collection of useful apps that i kept on the hard drive or on CDs, because at the time, it was slow to download things off the internet.
-that morphed over time to being a collection that lived on a hard drive and was backed up to cds, then dvds, then even blurays.
-the collection also got so fat that it split into different parts, kind of like mitosis.  the "walrus utilities" remained as the set of useful apps and tools that i use frequently; the "walrus coding" collection was a big pile of different tools for doing programming work; the "walrus albums" collection is my personal set of pictures; the "walrus games" set is a bunch of game save files for things i'm working on or want to keep track of; and the "walrus media" collection is all sorts of pictures, sounds, and movies i want to hang onto.
-however, software gets updated so quickly now that it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep a bunch of old binaries around, so now the walrus utils are just lists of good apps to use for various purposes.
-the walrus coding collection went through a similar metamorphosis and is now just a set of links to great programming apps.
-all the static collections remain as they are (pictures, etc) and since they are very personal, or i don't have copyrights on them, they're not available here.  but the utilities and coding tools are!  wheee!
-the lists are incomplete, and reflect my personal choices, but they may be a helpful starting point if you're looking to get something done on linux.
