DMO is generic object management, documentation, and inventory software. It enforces defining an abstract hierarchical structure for the data stored, making object management very intuitive. All the data in a company can be stored in a structured manner, from hard disks, computers, and printers to routers, UPSes, and alarm systems. Powerful querying and PDF report generation, plugin support, a high level of customization, and very clean code make DMO a very powerful tool.

Changes:
This is the first significant release of DMO for nearly two years. It works with Linux and Windows (XAMPP), but should work well with any LAMP stack including PHP4. New features include much more graphical viewing, as well as mapping objects onto maps with drill-down to additional layers of maps following dependency trails, a new Flash viewer for browsing through objects, and the ability to create chains of objects based on any attribute type (where any other object can be an attribute of any other object).

During the recent debates about the Completely Fair Scheduler, Ingo Molnar explained why he rewrote the scheduler, “CFS started out as an experiment to simplify the scheduler, to clean up the after-effects of a better-desktop-scheduling patch Mike Galbraith sent me. Had anyone told me at that time that I’d end up writing a new scheduler I’d have laughed at the suggestion and I’d have pointed to the large number of pending patches of mine in forms of the -rt tree, the syslet/threadlet code and other stuff that needs fixing a lot more urgent than the task scheduler.”

Music Box is a handy database for your music files. If you have a large
collection of them, it will help you to organize and keep them in order.
Tracks can be grouped by artist, album, genre, volume, or category.
Tracks can be organized into as many categories and subcategories as you
need. A search function allows you to find the CD or DVD on which you
stored your tracks. Music Box reads and edits the metadata information
of the tracks (ID3 tags, iTunes AAC tags, etc.). The MP3, AAC, MP4, Ogg
Vorbis, and Monkey’s Audio formats are supported. Music Box’s data can
be exported to HTML, text, or XML.

MySpeed is a Java applet that measures connection
speeds and quality by timing actual data transfers
between your server and end-users. Connection
tests are performed via HTTP or socket-to-socket
modes. The consistency of data transfer speeds is
reported, a key measure of connection quality.
Detailed graphs of all data transferred during a
speed test are produced. VoIP editions test jitter
and packet loss, reporting VoIP quality and load
capacity. A server-side database logs all speed
test results. The NOC and Support editions provide
remote agent technologies to identify remote
connectivity problems.

By using the tune2fs tool with the option, -l, the inode size of the filesystem can be seen. Using the same option, other information of the filesystem superblock can also be seen. The superblock contains information about the filesystem, such as the number of free blocks available, and the number of mounts, that may be useful for tuning purposes.
