SysBench is a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool
for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a
database under intensive load.
The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about
system performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or
even without installing a database at all.
Current features allow to test the following system parameters:
* file I/O performance
* scheduler performance
* memory allocation and transfer speed
* POSIX threads implementation performance
* database server performance (OLTP benchmark)
Primarily written for MySQL server benchmarking, SysBench will be
further extended to support multiple database backends, distributed
benchmarks and third-party plug-in modules.
from Jung (maintainer) with some tweaks.
thanks to landry@ for testing and feedback.

This release contains a security fix (unchecked array index,
CVE-2008-1686). There are also a few bug fixes, and open-source
support for RealAudio "cook". For front-end package maintainers,
there's a tool to help maintain MIME type lists, and for developers
who need raw frame data, you can now get that with the "raw" video
output plugin.

Apple's Time Machine is a great feature in their OS, and UNIX has
almost all of the required technology already built in to recreate it.
This is a simple GUI to make it easy to use.

The GNOME Scan project aims to provide scanning features integrated
throughout the GNOME desktop, similar to printing. The GNOME Scan
project consists of a C/GObject library upon which are built standalone
applications and plugins for various programs.
The application and plugins are called flegita.
Note:
gnome-scan is still in its early stage. It is not a drop-in
replacement for xsane or alikes (yet); it more suited for for mass
acquisition and ADF scanners.
There's an issue with image enhancement which is being worked on
upstream and the gsane backend may not give good results on all
scanners.
