I spent about 3 hours trying to get it running and said - I'm at eval
stage, and nagios/centreon is installed and working... (even if not as
theoretically nice)... there are lots of very promising systems out
there (hyperic, zenoss, etc) but if it ain't an apt-get or yum away
then... why not just go with what *is* there? Surely it must be being
used by more people, if not, why aren't the others in the repos?
Random ramblings!
Cheers
Anton
