[rrd-users] Re: Where can I find The Contrib Direcory

["Møller, René"]

I found the files, thx Ask.

I have been thinking about running rrd on UNIX, as I've noticed that most of
the contribs and (all) front ends are made for UNIX. But I'm not very
familiar with UNIX and the data I'll put in the RRD's are extracted from a
MSSQL server. Thanks for the advice anyway, Owen. Mybe I'll reconsider the
solution later.

I've only worked with the tar files.  That's probably the best plan anyway,
as rrdtool is written and maintained on Unix.  The level of braindeath
or absence in Windows is variable, and the distributions are provided back
to Tobi without major verification by people who want Windows support and
are willing to cobble it together.

You can always upgrade to Linux, which will run the UNIX version of RRD
quite nicely.  It's robust, supports more hardware, runs faster, and
costs less than Windows.  It's also easier to configure and administer.
