Xymon is distributed as source code that you compile. Some of the Linux distributions have packages available to save you from the config/compile step, but usually these are older versions. The server requires a number of other things (fping, rrdtool, etc.), but the client needs are much simpler.
If your client system is a similar architecture to your server, you can copy the client directory to your client, though you will still need to integrate it with startup/shutdown, etc. Beware of what is in your log and tmp directories (under client) when you copy this stuff.
You can compile just the client by following the instructions in the documentation.

I know this is a trivial question, but I cannot find the Linux client code.
Server is Xymon-4.3.0-0.beta2 on CentOS 5.3.
I am running the Linux client on a test system currently.
I cannot find the link to the location of the software on any site.
Is there a different software for UNIX vs. Linux?
Is it just source or is it compiled?
I have the directories on the server but don’t want to copy them over to another system.
I could not find any links under Help on the web page nor on Sourceforge – must be looking for the wrong thing.
I know that the Windows client BBWin has its own site.
