She said she already has Ganglia (open source SNMP from Berkley - http://ganglia.sf.net ) installed, but if she had not, she would have liked to hear about it. She also said she knows a lot of other bug systems which are not managed well, and could use an SNMP. I think it is only a matter of reaching the right people. Which brings me to mentioning the huge number of people yesterday - I counted 37. Top record. I believe it is because (for the first time, as I recall) the semester was opened with a regular lecture, and not a W2L lecture. I think we lose the people who are really interested in Linux every year, because they get tired of waiting for the regular lectures to begin, and W2L is not for them. So I suggest timing W2L in the future such that there is at least one regular lecture before, with a good proven lecturer such as Gilad Ben-Yossef.
