AppSet is a software packages management tool. Designed from the beginning to browse your distribution's applications in a pleasant and efficient way. Actually can perform all the functions that a packages management tool needs for supported distributions.
Some of the main features:
Automatical generation of applications sections (games, office, multimedia, internet etc.)
An embedded web browser that shows selected applications homepages
An embedded feed reader that shows news from configured distribution
A Tray Icon that periodically shows available upgrades
The possibility to choose a touchscreen suitable and animated view
Authentication structure that uses what is already installed to get administrative privileges (only when needed), searching from {kdesu, gksu, beesu, xdg-su or at least an xterm where it executes a sudo command}
Cache cleaner tool (to free disk space)
Can use ad-hoc libraries for a specific distribution or, like in default, it uses an already existing package manager CLI frontend
Requires only Qt libs as installation dependency
Can work with every desktop environment (kde, gnome, lxde ...)
Can work (in theory) wih every linux distribution (check the actually supported distributions in "DISTRIBUTIONS" section)
It is already translated in several languages (check the "TRANSLATIONS" section for more informations)
