MirBSD originated as a patch set against OpenBSD-current, an ultra secure operating system and NetBSD derivate, and has since also incorporated changes from NetBSD, a 4.4BSD-derived ultra portable operating system. It features bugfixes, code removal for the sake of simplicity, and feature enhancements over stock OpenBSD as well as a much more up-to-date GNU toolchain, careful integration of patches from other projects (such as KAME), and many improvements. It works on the Intel Pentium and some 80486 machines with more than 32 MiB RAM and the SPARC, and a port to the PowerPC Macintosh is in preparation.

iHook is a graphical frontend for any command-line
executable. It gives scripts a pleasant Aqua face,
and allows script writers to provide graphical
feedback without having to learn one of the higher
APIs available for Mac OS X. iHook accomplishes
this through its ability to understand a set of
directives. When a script writes an iHook
Directive to stdout, iHook will modify its own
interface based on the content of the Directive.
In this way, a simple shell script can have an
Aqua interface, complete with a progress bar and
drawer. When launched in the Finder, iHook prompts
the user to choose a script to run; iHook also
accepts file drops on its icon, and will attempt
to run the dropped file. When no user is logged
in, iHook tries to execute /etc/logout.hook. This
makes iHook highly useful as an interface for Mac
OS X LogoutHooks.
License: BSD License (original)
Changes:
This release significantly improves the backend,
increasing stability and speed. The %HIDE and
%UNHIDE directives were added. As a result of the
code changes, iHook now only runs on Mac OS X 10.5
and above.

The most notable features that have been added are support for >2G of storage and testing operations involving thousands of files in a directory. This program is used by ReiserFS developers, but can be useful for anyone who wants to know how fast their hard drive or file system is. It now includes ZCAV in the package.
