4 open source tools for Linux system monitoring

Great article, David. I've shared this with my coworkers. The ability to record and replay with `atop` is awesome, I anticipate using that a lot in the future.

`iotop` is a great tool for for looking for I/O load issues. One other tool that I find myself using a lot when I'm looking for network performance specifically is `iftop`. I suspect there's another or long article or three about network performance diagnostics.

I'm looking forward to the sar article. I've used it a lot, but only in pieces, so I can't wait to see what I've missed.

Eric, there's no such resource that I'm aware of, but that's a great idea.
