[Nagios-users] Nagios - Newbie

[Curtis Herrmann]

I am currently digesting the documentation for Nagios 2.0 from the Nagios Website. I intend to start my first installation after I finish reading the documentation which seems to be very straightforward.    The question that I have is in reference to the base OS installation. I will be using Fedora Core 4, and would like to ask if there are any recommendations or documents about a box specifically dedicated to Nagios.    Example: Should I accept the “Web Servers” default installation from Anaconda, or should I download a specific Apache version from any particular place etc. Same question with Compiler installs.    These questions all in the context of what is best for a foundation for a Nagios box.   Kind Regards, Curtis
