From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PortsInfo is a simple desktop app that shows a list of active network ports on your linux systems.
In other words, it shows you which servers are running on your computer.
It's a graphical equivalent of running netstat -plunt in a terminal.
The app supports quick search with CTRL+F shortcut.
Hopefully this will be useful to newbies and system administrators.
