<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am just getting started with Unbuntu Linux
(upgraded to the latest distro) and installed smokeping from within</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the OS with Apache, perl, and
RRDtools.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am new to smokeping and have no idea where to get
started, really, but am a quick study if I have a man page that can be read or
some helpful </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>URL's I could peruse.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A friend of mine runs Open BSD and uses smokeping
with that distro which is very vanilla, would that be better since I don't
really need this box to do anything else?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am running it on older hardware (PII450 384 MB
RAM, 120 GB HDD, 32 MB VRAM card) so I don't want to push the hardware too far
beyond its'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>capabilities as it will be monitoring hosts on a
24-7 basis.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any help would be appreciated!</FONT></DIV>
