you sure you don't want to make a go at turning this into a full blown product? Imagine a more modern version of webmin. Very nice.
Could you add installation/setup instructions?
There's no installation, just git clone and move to your www directory. $ git clone https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash.git $ mv linux-dash/ /var/www/
At the very least you would want to put some access control in front of this.
e.g. # uptime.php <?php echo (int) (shell_exec('cat /proc/uptime')/(60*60));
Very cool. How difficult would it be to create widgets that show application-level stats like number of visitors on site or conversion rates (e.g. calculated from google analytics). I'm tired of having to loging to google analytics, lulu.com, and gumroad in three different tabs....
I believe the memory assessment will always show basically no free memory due to Linux's memory management and caching. It would make more sense to subtract out the cache to see what's really used and what's just being (smartly) cached.
Nice interface, but it's a bit strange to me that it uses shell exec for every kind of measure. e.g. # uptime.php <?php echo (int) (shell_exec('cat /proc/uptime')/(60*60));

Minor typo on the header: Dashboad Looks really nice. Was this built for Debian-based distros?

Yea, that's my #1 concern now that I know its worth pursuing as a more well developed product. I'm hope to step away from PHP totally for the next iteration. This was more-so a proof-of-concept for the sake of feedback.
What ideas do you have about reading the stats? You'll have to use a server side language anyway (or do you plan to read data from a third party service with a restful api?)
edit: if you want to have a zero-install tool I'd suggest to go with python plus bottle (a one file webframework), so that you would be able to clone and use it from any directory.
