Realtime Application Interface project allows applications with strict timing constraints to be run on Linux.
A real time system is able to guarantee the timing requirements of the processes under its control.
RTAI provides an API and the necessary kernel modifications to accommodate such requirements.
Enhancements:
- Improvements were made to netrpc.
- Context switching between hard and soft real-time, handling of TSC errors, and POSIX compatibility have been improved.
- There are numerous minor bugfixes.

The Eye Of Horus is a monitoring and alerting tool for computers. Its mainly useful for monitoring network services (eg, HTTP or SMTP servers) and the internal status of Unix servers (eg, load, disk usage, process counts).

In that respect, its a lot like Nagios, but in my opinion its better. It lacks a few features Nagios has, but it is a very simple architecture to which they can easily be added.

Its a flexible thing made from independent modules with well-defined interfaces, making it easy to customise and extend, but out of the box itll monitor your servers and produce a nice HTML summary of their status - OK, the looks need a bit of work, but that will come soon, and it can optionally integrate with the excellent (and I mean excellent) RRDTool to store logs of statistics (response times, number of packages with known security holes, etc) - and link from the status page to nice graphs of the historical behaviour of these statistics.

HOW IT WORKS

The core of the system is horus-check.py, a Python script which reads a configuration file (specified on the command line). The configuration file specifies a list of services - either network services, in which case the host to run the check from and the host to run the check at are specified, or local services, in which case only the host to run the check from need be specified. In either case, if the host to run the check from is not specified, then it defaults to the local host.

The service types reference definitions in a file which is referenced from the configuration file. In the service definitions file, a shell command to check the service is given; this command must output service status in a defined format, as a single-line YAML list. The list must contain, at least, a single-word status (OK, WARNING, FAILURE, or UNKNOWN), then optionally numeric statistics, then optionally a status message. For example:

[OK]
[UNKNOWN]
[OK, { load: 0.5, users: 3 }]
[WARNING, { load: 3, users: 30 }]
[FAILURE, { load: 95, users: 300 }]
[UNKNOWN, { }, Could not find AWK executable]

When a check is to be performed from a remote host, Horus opens an ssh connection to that host. It is assumed that the user horus is run as will have an ssh key set up to enable it to ssh to all such hosts without requiring a password.

Having performed the checks, horus-check.py then:

Reads in the status database named in the configuration file
Updates the status database with the new status of hosts
Computes an overall system status (the worst non-unknown status of any checked service)
Examines the service dependencies, and marks any service whose state is no worse than might be expected (eg, no worse than the worst state of a service it depends upon) are automatically marked as quiet
Computes a list of differences between the old and new status (services added, services removed, services whose status has improved, services whose status has worsened)
If there are any differences, invokes a notification script (named in the configuration file) with them, along with the overall status
Invokes a logging script (named in the configuration file) with the new value of every statistic reported by the service checks; I will soon provide a sample logging script that uses RRDTool to generate nice graphs.

The status database (which is written in YAML, so easily accessible to user scripts) can then be used to generate HTML status report (see status.cgi).

This is an adapted, improved version of the popular javacave game, written in QtRuby.

The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer.
Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.
An Xbox with Linux can be a full desktop computer with mouse and keyboard, a web/email box connected to TV, a server or router or a node in a cluster.
You can either dual-boot or use Linux only; in the latter case, you can replace both IDE devices. And yes, you can connect the Xbox to a VGA monitor.
Main features:
- You can run Linux on your Xbox!
- You can do it without a modchip!
- You can do it without opening your Xbox!
