Any version of *nix is seriously a better choice than Win32.  If you think of all the 
extra baggage that comes with a full GUI (on top of a server), who needs it...

It's not that hard - any of the Linux magazines routinely publish HowTos on compiling 
from source (UK's Linux Forum did one in the last 3 months - check the web site).  Buy 
a book - all of the basic Linux books also have tutorials.

The 2.1.90+ version of ntop uses rrd (round robin database). rrd databases can be 
exported into an xml format.
