For networking stuff, see Joe Abley and Stephen Stuart's NANOG 26 Tutorial "Managing IP Networks with Free Software" -- http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog26/abstracts.php?pt=Nzg1Jm5hbm9nMjY=&nm=nanog26 Direct link to PDF: http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog26/presentations/stephen.pdf -- it's from 2002 and so a little out of date, but still a great read. As for server / application / random other stuff (like printers and ups's and IP camera and the like), Zenoss is great -- its clean, simple, fast(ish), easy and pretty -- the last one happens to be important for some folks (esp in the enterprise world...)

nfdump/nfsen, Stager, RANCID, RCS, CVS, or Subversion - these should all be included in any list of useful open-source tools for network operators, IMHO.

Unfortunately, inefficiency scales really well.
