autoboot

| Vit | 1.48 |
autoboot is a job scheduler/watchdog to automatically compile/boot and run test suites with experimental Linux kernels. It runs from a central server and a pool of clients. The central server builds various kernels, then automatically boots a subset of them on the clients and runs test suites (like autotest). The server is very careful to watch the clients for hangs and power switch them as needed, and will also automatically fetch serial logs from a console server. All the resulting information is stored in a unique output directory for each for easy post processing. autoboot is a collection of bash shell scripts. It will need some adaption for local infrastructure.

Raven's System Stats
| Pop | 48.83 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 1.00 |
Raven's System Stats allows users to collect detailed information about an operating system, including kernel architecture, distro, operating system, kernel version, glibc version, name of login shell, number of CPUs, CPU description, hyperthreading support, CPU MHz, CPU cache, bogomips, used and total RAM, used and total swap, filesystem size and type, uptime, unique users logged in, total login shells, currently running processes, total processes since bootup, load average, X resolution, and the number of X servers running.

ATA over Ethernet driver
| Pop | 166.13 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 8.86 |
This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).

Plash
| Pop | 136.32 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 5.79 |
Plash is a sandbox for running GNU/Linux programs with minimum privileges. It is suitable for running both command line and GUI programs. It can dynamically grant Gtk-based GUI applications access rights to individual files that you want to open or edit. This happens transparently through the Open/Save file chooser dialog box, by replacing GtkFileChooserDialog. Plash virtualizes the file namespace and provides per-process/per-sandbox namespaces. It can grant processes read-only or read-write access to specific files and directories, mapped at any point in the filesystem namespace. It does not require modifications to the Linux kernel.

Linux hotplug
| Pop | 72.29 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 1.42 |
Hotplug lets you plug in new devices and use them immediately. That means that users won't need to learn so much system administration, since the Linux system will at least partially autoconfigure itself. Initially, hotplug included support for USB and PCI (Cardbus) devices, and could automatically configure some common network interfaces. Updated versions include IEEE 1394 (Firewire/i.Link) support and can download firmware to USB devices that need it.

SuperShaper-SOHO
| Pop | 86.72 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 2.59 |
SuperShaper-SOHO is a traffic shaping setup for DSL connections which prioritizes VoIP and interactive traffic and makes sure P2P traffic doesn't saturate your uplink.

kernbench
| Pop | 114.70 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 3.27 |
kernbench is a CPU throughput benchmark. It is designed to compare kernels on the same machine, or to compare hardware. It runs a kernel compile at various numbers of concurrent jobs: 1/2 number of CPUs, optimal (default is 4xnumber of CPUs), and maximal job count. Optionally it can also run single threaded. It then prints out a number of useful statistics for the average of each group of runs.

Power Acpid
| Pop | 35.79 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 1.42 |
Power Acpid is an ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) daemon that improves upon the design of the current acpid.

Thinux
| Pop | 86.14 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 1.54 |
Thinux is a thin-client server on a live CD. It boots a network of diskless computers to automatically start an application such as a Web browser. Each thin client machine acts as a cluster node to share its processing and memory resources with each other to take the load off the server. It is a turnkey solution that does not change nor rely on your existing systems to run. By booting from a removable CD, it does not lock-in the user so it is convenient to test. It is ideal for any organizations that require large deployment of software automatically and cost effectively.

|---|---|
| Vit | 1.37 |
Osnofianlinux is a project that creates small, special-purpose Linux distributions, which are normally written to a floppy disk or a small bootable ISO image.
