SystemImager

Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. Uses multicast and/or unicast to inject xml data into an rrdtool frontend. Makes it very easy to make custom graphs as it was originally written to handle stats data from HPC clusters http://ganglia.sourceforge.net/

Subcon allows you to store your essential system configuration files in a subversion repository and easily deploy different configurations to machines in a cluster. It also features optional integration with SystemImager, enabling the deployment of system images and configuration in a single step. A flexible configuration file provides the ability to start, stop, or restart services or run arbitrary scripts when a change in a file or set of files is detected. http://code.google.com/p/subcon/

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display. Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all.
