“System Datebase” (SysDB) is an Open Source daemon which aggregates system management and inventory information and stores them in a central database. All information is retrieved from other hardware or software systems and may be queried through a generic interface.
Propellor is a configuration management system using Haskell and Git. Each system has a list of properties, which Propellor ensures are satisfied.
Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of the limitations and adds some extra features.
Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources instantly, you can eg. compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).
Dstat also cleverly gives you the most detailed information in columns and clearly indicates in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed. Less confusion, less mistakes, more efficient.
Dstat is unique in letting you aggregate block device throughput for a certain diskset or network bandwidth for a group of interfaces, ie. you can see the throughput for all the block devices that make up a single filesystem or storage system.
Dstat allows its data to be directly written to a CSV file to be imported and used by OpenOffice, Gnumeric or Excel to create graphs.

Die Diskussion ist fast so alt wie die IT: Wie viel Dokumentation benötigt ein System? Während es für den Kunden oft nicht genug sein kann, möchte der typische Entwickler am liebsten ausschließlich Code erzeugen. Eine leicht falsch interpretierbare Aussage aus dem Agilen Manifest zum Thema Dokumentation hat die Diskussion noch weiter aufgeheizt. Guter Rat scheint teuer. Aber so schwierig ist es letztlich gar nicht und ein wenig Systematik bei den Dokumentationsarten sowie gerade die agilen Prinzipien helfen, Inhalt und Umfang einer guten Systemdokumentation zu optimieren. In diesem Artikel werden zwei einfache Werkzeuge vorgestellt, die helfen, Dokumentation nicht mehr auf “Verdacht” zu erstellen, sondern zielgerichtet nach Sinn und Wert zu optimieren.
The Sysinternals Troubleshooting Utilities have been rolled up into a single Suite of tools. This file contains the individual troubleshooting tools and help files. It does not contain non-troubleshooting tools like the BSOD Screen Saver or NotMyFault.

Building a Modern Computer from First Principles
The official companion web site of Nand2Tetris courses
And of the book The Elements of Computing Systems, MIT Press, By Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken
The site contains all the software tools and project materials necessary to build a general-purpose computer system from the ground up. We also provide a set of lectures designed to support a typical course on the subject.
The materials are aimed at students, instructors, and self-learners. Everything is free and open-source; as long as you operate in a non-profit educational setting, you are welcome to modify and use our materials as you see fit.
TANGO is an object oriented distributed control system using CORBA (synchronous and asynchronous communication) and zeromq (event based communication) and is being actively developed as a collaborative effort between the following research institutes: Alba,Anka, Desy, Elettra, ESRF, FRM II, MAX-IV, Solaris, Soleil, ELI Beams, ELI Alps
Enables you to back up and restore your operating system, volumes, files, folders, and applications from a command prompt.
To configure a regularly scheduled backup, you must be a member of the Administrators group. To perform all other tasks with this command, you must be a member of the Backup Operators or the Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate permissions.
Users should transparently log in to Request Tracker with AD domain credentials.
