Myer http://www.nongnu.org/myer/README.html Myer is a "semantic highlighter" for C code, which "colorizes identifiers and constants to show their marginal cost to the program's coupling and cohesion metrics", by "running the preprocessor in reverse". The idea is to focus review by highlighting parts of the code particularly likely to contain bugs. convertfs http://tzukanov.narod.ru/convertfs/index.html This tool converts filesystems (e.g. ext3 to reiserfs) in place without needing space for two copies. It does this by playing clever tricks with sparse files. "You can convert from virtually any filesystem type to virtually any one as long as they are both supported by Linux for read/write, and as long as primary filesystem supports sparse files." (Submitted by Ville Herva.) See also Parted <http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html>. VSDB http://repetae.net/~john/computer/vsdb/ VSDB turns Unix filesystem guarantees (even the weak ones offered by NFS) into a transactional database without using file locking or a shared server process. It's particularly good for medium-sized, rarely updated system databases (think aliases.db). Filelight http://methylblue.com/filelight/ Filelight renders a cute interactive visualization of disk space consumption.
