Monit + More
From the Debian Help site comes a short article about configuring Monit. The Monit site covers the tools features in more depth. As well as the usual monitoring it lets you setup conditional actions based on alerts.
Awesome - Weta releases Retro Rayguns. Its still odd that people would spend chunks of money on toy rayguns no matter how neat they are.
Privacy integrated into webmail - Freenigma.

Useful for kiosk applications and driving screen displays - Puppy Linux running on a $100 PC. The MicroClient Jr looks great - shame its only 166MHz. Also gets pricey when you add in some of the extras.
With security starting to get out of hand here is the ultimate t-shirt - I am not a terrorist. In arabic of course.
On a related note - this is a genius cartoon from Wondermark.
