BitNami: Automated Installers For Wordpress, Blogs, Forums And Other CMS

BitNami is an open source project that provides free, automated multiplatform installers for popular open source web application such as blogs, forums and wikis. BitNami installers are available in self-contained packages called Stacks that include all of the software necessary to run the application out of the box. These may be Apache, PHP, MySQL and other dependencies. BitNami Stacks installs with just a few clicks and, if you do not like it, all you need to do is uninstall and it will be gone just as easily.

BitNami Stacks can be deployed as traditional Native Installers, Virtual Machine Images or Cloud Images. Native installers are single file executable that can be downloaded to your Windows, Linux or Mac OSX machine in order to install web applications locally. What makes BitNami Stacks fantastic is that it handles everything from setting up of Apache, configuring databases and installation of the web application.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.
