Deploying an application as a JumpBox provides a dramatically-reduced path to getting started with the software. Aside from installation benefits it yields other advantages such as portability across computing environments and simplified ongoing maintenance of the application.

Major Features:

1. An intuitive user interface to quickly guide users through deployment.
2. A web-based control panel for simplified management of system functions.
3. A backup system that enables data security and portability.
4. Self-contained deployment means easy to move or delete - it won't scatter files all over your operating system.
5. New versions of the JumpBox contain updates to each component in the software stack so there's no patching web servers, application servers, databases, dependencies, etc.
6. A web-based administration console simplifies the management of your application including SSL certs, email relaying, SSH, backups and more.
7. Once you know how to install a JumpBox you can deploy any of 50+ other JumpBoxes and take advantage of a growing library of conveniently-packaged Open Source software.

Requirements:

• Computer running any of: Mac OS X, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Linux
• Virtualization software. See the complete list of supported systems.
• For easiest use: a network that assigns dynamic IP addresses. (Most do)
• 3 GB Free disk space
• Minimum 1 GB System RAM (Each JumpBox you run on the same system will need 256-512MB of additional RAM)
• Minimum 1 Ghz CPU

ultimateTask is a veruy useful maintenance tool with a simple, easy to use interface, to take care of some of the more important cleanup/maintenance tasks for your computer.
Mac OS has it all, almost nearly in the best self maintenance manner it takes care of it self (thanks Apple!) but sometimes the user needs to kick in...
- Basic maintenance and back to work or off to bed ; )
- mostly repairing permissions, after installations...
- executing cron scripts (even with Tiger we still execute them...)
- delete logfiles, jsut get rid of them sometimes, why not?
- delete DS.files, the bother, sometimes?
- delete temp files,
- purge trashes,
- Internet traces, like cookies, history and more
- dis/enable things like the dashboard and its Widgets,
- We wish the machine would be automatically restarted after executing, or rather shutdown?
All this and much more, ultimateTask offers in a convenient small compact quick and safe to use all in one utility! Just about like the first class service Mac OS X style.

- Repair disk permissions.

All these and many tasks more, like disabling the Dashboard and its Widgets are available from the ultimateTask menu, learn the keyboard shortcuts to quickly enter important commands.

Audioscrobbler iTunes Plugin 0.6.3 is considered as a simple to use, yet sophisticated computer system that builds up a detailed profile of your musical taste.

After installing an Audioscrobbler Plugin, your computer sends the name of every song you play to the Audioscrobbler Server. With this information, the Audioscrobbler server builds you a 'Musical Profile'. Statistics from your Musical Profile are shown on your Audioscrobbler User Page, available for everyone to view.

There are lots of people using Audioscrobbler, but usually only the people who like the same sort of music to you are interesting. The Audioscrobbler Server calculates which people are most similar to you, based on shared musical taste, so you can take a look at what your peers are listening to.

With this information, Audioscrobbler is able to automatically generate suggestions for new songs/artists you might like. These suggestions are based on the same principals as Amazon's "People who bought this also bought X,Y,Z", but because the Audioscrobbler data is what people are actually listening to, the suggestions tend to make more sense.
