New version of Ketarin available
« on: October 30, 2010, 02:54 PM »
An excellent system utility just got better.

Ketarin  :-* now has the ability to install applications as well as download them.

For those who don't already know:

Ketarin is a small application which automatically updates and optionally installs setup packages. As opposed to other tools, Ketarin is not meant to keep your system up-to-date (like a package manager), but rather to maintain a compilation of all important setup packages which can then be burned to disc or put on a USB stick.

If you're involved in technical support, onsite service...or just like to ditz with your personal machines until you need to reformat and reinstall everything, Ketarin will make your job a whole lot easier.

Additional scripting capabilities also make it easier to create custom scripts and macros for your own requirements.

More information and download links can be found at the Ketarin website here.

Our friends over at Rarst.net did a nice write-up on this version which can be found here.

So it's kind of like an offline, app-based version of http://ninite.com/ ?
