You are tired of hearing your GUI friends talking about their games? Tired of playing simple Adventure? Why not try Pacman for Console?
The game play is just like the old quarter game you played long ago, and the best part, you can develop your own maps! Check out the screen shot:

GNU scren is a very handle little program. I first ran across it a long time ago, back when I was excited to have upgraded to a 2400 BAUD modem. 
screen is “terminal multiplexer”, ie, it will let you run many console applications under one tty. That is just one (very cool) feature. The other major cool feature is the ability to detach the screen session from the controlling tty, and re-attach it on another tty. So, you can log in from one location, start up your world, then detach, go to a different machine, and ssh back, and pick up where you were. Or, if you have a bad connection which keeps dropping the connection on you, you can re-connect, and pick back up where you left of.
I usually have one screen running at all time, and in that screen session, I ssh to various hosts that I am working, and have screen running on those hosts.

The BINS Photo Album is a package to generate static web pages from the command line. Why would you want to do this? Well, most of the dynamic web photo albums require that the server do all the work when the client requests the images, thus either slowing it down, or requiring a very beefy server. Also, you introduce the chance for a script-kiddie from hacking your site. Not good.
