Haiku R1 Beta 2
Haiku is an open-source operating system, currently in development, that specifically targets personal computing. It is inspired by the Be Operating System (BeOS). The project's latest release is Haiku R1 Beta 2 which introduces improvements to HiDPI support, introduces ports of several new open source programs, and input device configuration has been merged into one configuration tool. "Begun but significantly incomplete at the time of Beta 1, this release sees a significant advancement in support for HiDPI monitors (and UI scaling in general.) Unlike other operating systems which largely enact a 'device pixel ratio', that converts a number of 'internal pixels' to 'screen pixels', Haiku instead scales everything based on font size, and leaves pixels to mean 'screen pixels' in isolation. This also means that one can effectively change the UI size and scale on any display by changing the system font size, and everything else should adjust to match it. Below are two screenshots, showing ActivityMonitor and AboutSystem with a 12pt font size on the left (Haiku

Here are some of the highlights and new tools added for this release: A new NST WUI page for displaying Wireshark tshark Statistics Conversations has been developed - see the example: tshark Statistics Conversations page shown below. This page focuses on displaying network conversations between two specific endpoints in tabular format and results can be further analyzed with the NST Network Tools Widgets. One can choose a Conversation Type and Display filter to isolate traffic of interest. The table output also contains the ability to create stream display filters for packet capture decode analysis. Many other actions and features can be found on this page. Added a new NST WUI page for the next generation the Kismet Wireless Surveillance application."

IPFire is an independent Linux distribution designed to help administrators easily manage network security and traffic. The project latest release introduces new monitoring and logging options as well as starting the random number generator earlier in the boot process. "OpenVPN will from now on collect metrics about connected clients. On an extra page, it will be shown which client has connected when and for how long it was connected. The random number generator will be launched earlier in the boot process to see the kernel's pseudo-random number generator as soon as possible. On some systems, this could have blocked the boot process for a couple of minutes. Firewall: Connections that are being NATed will now always be logged in the filter chain, too. vnstat, the tool behind the net traffic graphs on the IPFire web user interface has been updated to use a new database format and refreshes its graphs more often, for more detailed and accurate data. Pakfire correctly uses upstream proxies now."
