The Open-Source Apps That Missed Our List - Introduction
eWEEK recently named the most important open-source applications of all time. At the end of our list we asked, "What did we miss?" Well, according to some, we missed a lot. Some responses were very polite ("Dear Ms. Donston, I would suggest that you missed ...") Others were less so (starting with, "Duh!") That's OK--we can take it. In the spirit of open communication and sharing that forms the foundation of the apps we were talking about in the first place, here are your choices for the most important open-source apps of all time.

“Rails is the most well thought-out web development framework I’ve ever used.
And that’s in a decade of doing web applications for a living. I’ve built my
own frameworks, helped develop the Servlet API, and have created more than
a few web servers from scratch. Nobody has done it like this before.”
-James Duncan Davidson, Creator of Tomcat and Ant

LinuxPlanet - Reviews - Open Source Zenoss Muscles Into Net Monitoring - Examining Zenoss
LinuxPlanet - Reviews - Open Source Zenoss Muscles Into Net Monitoring - Examining Zenoss:
Another perfect example of open source software gone commercial is Zenoss. As a full-featured network and service monitoring solution, Zenoss is one of the best monitoring tools available.
Most importantly, Zenoss combines two functions. First and foremost an enterprise environment requires host and service monitoring, with notifications. Network monitoring really means checking services, checking that hosts are up (they ping), and possibly writing your own plugins to check various other aspects of a server or network device. Until now, Nagios has filled that role.
