Moodss is a modular GUI application that can monitor systems, networks, and databases. It displays data in graphical viewers, sends emails and execute scripts on thresholds, archive data in a SQL database, and includes a daemon for background monitoring.  This new version includes support for the SQLite database library version 3, and some minor improvements in order to allow inclusion in the Red Hat Fedora Extras packages repository.

Based off of a previous article from Mike Willbanks, Stuart Herbert has posted some of his own thoughts on tuning and tweaking your applications for the best performance you can get out of them.   There's some good advice in there, and I thought it'd be a good idea to quickly add a bit more detail about the separate approaches that Mike raises.   He goes over the APC caching, memcache, the "gzip trick", the "Not Modified" header and optimized SQL statements.   He also mentions one thing that Mike didn't mention - a split between static files (no PHP needed) and their dynamic cousins. Having a more pure Apache (no PHP installed) can help give a minute jump in speed that, depending on the size of the site, could really add up from a user's perspective.
