Hi All
Sorry I meant Ubuntu 7.10, having a bad finger day. Ok so from what I gather there is official Ubuntu packages for XyMon. I have not been able to track these but have seen packages for Debian. I know Ubuntu is debian based so I guess I could use those as well. I would preffer to have packages not tarballs as I feel that it is easier to manage. I did install Debian 4 yesterday but since we had no internet here due to a line problem it was quite difficult to get started.
Anyway I will consider all that you guys have said.
Thanks for the input.
Regards Neil

Hi Guys
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.
Ubuntu did not make a release in January 07 (7.1?) - are you thinking of
the October 07 release (7.10)?
Compiling from source on any distro is not too hard, however we like to use the package management system rather than having unmanaged tarballs all over the place. That said, I've used hobbit packages on suse (and had to tweak several things to get it working due to some weird little redhat-isms in the build) and I've used the deb packages from the ubuntu
repo, which worked nicely out of the box.
