ipod/iphone on linux

Does it annoy you that you have to keep that windows box around just
to sync your ipod / iphone cause the software doesn't run on linux??
Well now you can banish windows for good. Check out gtkpod. The linux
answer to itunes.

Network monitoring systems - I find them all annoying

OpenNMS is one of the more fully-featured packages that I've seen, but the documentation is really lacking. Often times, when I make adjustments to something in the interface, errors are thrown without much of an explanation. Some of the important items shown in the web interface can only be adjusted by editing countless configuration files on the system.

I've heard plenty of good things about Nagios, and it's pretty easy to get off the ground. However, it's a little difficult to configure and manage. The default user interface is horribly unattractive, which makes it pretty challenging to use.

While I liked the look of Zabbix's interface the most, there was simply too much in the interface. It was hard to move around and find what I needed. Without a Zabbix agent installed on a remote machine, you can't do much in the way of monitoring without a lot of configuration. The top navigation bar is hard to use since a stray mouse move changes all of the options in the sub-navigation bar below.

Zenoss has a nice interface, but it's hard to keep things organized. I couldn't figure out how to put machines into groups, and I also struggled to get the notifications working properly. Often times, the event console didn't show active alerts.

Pandora looks pretty promising, but all of their files went mysteriously missing on SourceForge. Their IRC channel is completely quiet as well.
 
Does anyone have better recommendations for open source network monitoring systems?

The Holy Trinity of Unix-ish command lines

So, a pal of mine and I were discussing what sort of
presentation to offer our local computing society's Linux SIG
(special interest group).
 
While there are a few folks who are more technically inclined,
most aren't that hip to the command line, so we're thinking of
starting pretty simple. Seems like a good first post to a blog for me. Here is the
discussion, with names and times changed to protect the others
involved:
 
00:52 < pal> I was going to start a 10-15 minute bit on shell commands
00:52 < me> pal: I don't know how interesting it is--maybe I'll try to come up with a little bit of song-and-dance for someone who needs a title as an excuse, but we can go pretty far on Q&A
00:52 < me> yeah, shell.
00:52 < me> I'm down with that, too.
00:53 < pal> I though I would start with find since it lends itself to a longer discussion
00:53 < me> cool
00:53 < pal> or should we start with regex vs shell meta chars
00:53 < me> ooh
00:54 < me> can we even assume familiarity with the holy trinity:
00:54 < me> ls, cd, pwd?
00:54 < me> heck, we can do 15 minutes on ls, for the right crowd
00:55 < me> most of it on the output from ls -al 00:55 < pal> I suppose that is the level of people we have.
00:55 < me> heh
00:55 < me> ls -al leads to talk of pagers and pipelines
00:55 < me> so, we're at half an hour
00:56 < me> .
00:56 < me> ..
00:56 < me> that gets you to pwd and cd
00:56 < me> naked 'cd' gets you talking about ~ and $HOME
00:56 < me> and now your in environment variables
00:56 < me> before long, we're writing scripts
00:56 < me> dogs and cats, living together.
00:56 < pal> sounds like a full term course description
00:57 < me> hehe
00:57 < friend> but fun none-the-less
00:57 < me> yeah
00:58 < pal> would [LUG] also be a good place for short talks around something
00:58 < pal> like find or grep?
01:00 < me> pal: as you know, [friend] has been scheduling that
01:01 < me> maybe "command line show and tell"
01:01 < pal> we should discuss that in the [LUG] group but [friend] hangs out here more
01:01 < me> one part "here's how you do it, n00b" one part "ok, smarty pants, what command line tools do *you* like"?
01:02 < pal> and then the infinite - "I know a better way to do that"
01:02 < me> instant party
01:03 < pal> I think [friend] must be working between responses here
01:04 < me> way I figure, at least I can grep this out later
01:04 < me> when I say "darn, we had all these ideas on what to do, but I forget them now"
01:06 < pal> well how about for july we just stick with an intro to ls, cd and pwd?
01:06 < me> sure
01:09 < pal> I'll email you an outline in a few days for comments
01:09 < [friend]> [LUG] would be a good place for short talks -- as would [PIDLV] meetings
01:11 < pal> there are certainly enough GUI only people to benefit from some command line talks
01:12 < [friend]> k
