RH is only ONE of the development platforms we use.  Others are Mac OS X,
Solaris and Windows.  There is NO intention of tying ntop any tighter to
RedHat.


Testing occurs on FreeBSD and many other Linuxes (Gentoo, Mandrake, SuSe,
Debian, Slackware).  Other users contribute success stories for Trinux and
other distros (LFS, etc.)

The rpms are provided at SourceForge just like ALL of the ntop downloads.
They're easily available, but only semi-official.

What Luca needs to do is to cleanup that page @ ntop.org to give the CVS
instructions and then point to SourceForge (it hasn't been right for over a
year... it still talks about IRIX)

> RedHat support?

> On the www.ntop.org website there are a variety of downloads available for
a variety of linux distributions, but RedHat is not listed.  It's not until
you dig into the FAQ's that you find out that RedHat has been used in the
development process.  Is there an intention to provide RedHat rpm's directly
at some point?  I definitely prefer rpm as an installation means vs. a
manual compile.  I'm also familiar with apt and I'm just as familiar with
the locking and corruption bugs that apt has brought to the rpm methodology
(I'm dealing with them already in another forum).  The reason I mention this
is that I was initially 'shy' to ntop where it did not 'appear' that it was
supported on RedHat.  I know that Debian is probably a better environment
for what I'm doing, but the fact is that there are several database engines
that I have loaded that only support the RedHat flavor.
