Clusterit is a collection of clustering tools loosely based on IBM's
PSSP clustering tools. Unlike PSSP or GLUnix, Clusterit allows fast
parallel execution of remote commands as it is written in
architecture-independent C. Administrators can choose from a variety
of authentication methods, including SSH and Kerberos.
With Clusterit, administrators can run parallelized and load
balanced software builds (using jsd/jsh) or manage a heterogeneous
cluster of machines (using dsh/dvt/rvt).

Rails is a web-application framework for the MVC pattern that includes
both a template engine, controller framework, and object-relational
mapping package. Everything needed to develop web-apps that can run on
CGI, FastCGI, and mod_ruby
Being a full-stack framework means that all layers are built to work
seamlessly together. That way you Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) and you
can use a single language from top to bottom. Everything from templates
to control flow to business logic is written in Ruby - The language of
love for industry heavy-weights.

Action Mailer is framework for designing email-service layers. These layers
are used to consolidate code for sending out forgotten passwords, welcoming
wishes on signup, invoices for billing, and any other use case that requires
a written notification to either a person or another system.
Additionally, an Action Mailer class can be used to process incoming email,
such as allowing a weblog to accept new posts from an email (which could even
have been sent from a phone).

Update to 1.2.9.1 which addresses a security vulnerability in the IAX2
channel driver (chan_iax2). The vulnerability affects all users with
IAX2 clients that might be compromised or used by a malicious user, and
can lead to denial of service attacks and random Asterisk server crashes
via a relatively trivial exploit.

pscpug is a unix utility designed to graph a given process's CPU usage
over time. Since you can see changes over time, it is often more useful
than top for checking on a specific errant process.

POE::Component::IRC is a POE component (who'd have guessed?) which acts
as an easily controllable IRC client for your other POE components and
sessions. You create an IRC component and tell it what events your
session cares about and where to connect to, and it sends back
interesting IRC events when they happen. You make the client do things
by sending it events.

Eases web-request routing, handling, and response as a half-way front,
half-way page controller. Implemented with specific emphasis on enabling
easy unit/integration testing that doesn't require a browser.
