Ubuntu uses Apt which has Hobbit as a package. I have not seen the more recent versions yet nor the name change to Xymon in Apt or Aptitude though. I'm sure it will be available at some point.

I tested XyMon on Ubuntu 7.1 and it was not too difficult to install. We are now ready to deploy XyMon into production so I am looking at which Distribution XyMon is the easiest to install and maintain. Getting things to run on Ubuntu was not a major issue but if there is a easier distro I would like to use it for now.
Any suggestions?
From a support point of view, I would recommend any distro that has Xymon / Hobbit available as a package. I notice on CentOS that at least one of the packages isn't available unless you add rpmforge repository.
HTH,
Malcolm
