If you are going to use Open Source software, get accustomed to running an eye over any ALL CAPS file whenever you start with a new package. That's not cast in stone, but it is customary. Same as you normally look at a readme.txt file for a Windows package...
In ntop, everything points to docs/BUILD-NTOP.txt... $ cat README See files in docs/ for more info. For instructions on how to build ntop from source, see docs/BUILD-NTOP.txt (*nix) and docs/BUILD-MinGW.txt (Win32) For instructions on hwo to run ntop the 1st time, see docs/1STRUN.txt. Online information is at http://www.ntop.org, including archives of the ntop mailings lists. Contributions of effort towards writing, rewriting and updating ntop's documentation would be heartily welcomed! ---- (C) 1998-2004 ntop.org $ cat INSTALL See BUILD-NTOP.txt in docs/ for more info. Now, if you're asking are there other people using Alpha hardware, the answer (http://www.ntopsupport.com/alrHdw.html) is yes, but only a few... 4 out of 9K users. And only ONE log record since we started collecting them for Debian/Alpha... xx4.169.49.xx9 - - [06/Apr/2004:10:25:17 +0200] "GET /version.xml HTTP/1.0" 200 1574 "-" "ntop/3.0rc1+SourceForge+.tgz host/alphaev67-unknown-linux-gnu distro/debian kernrlse/2.4.21.jens2 GCC/3.3.3 config(...) run(...) gdbm/1.8.3. gd/1.8.x openssl/0.9.7d zlib/1.2.1 access/http interfaces(eth1)" -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Barry > George > Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 12:54 PM > To: Ntop mailing list > Subject: [Ntop] 3.0 on Alpha Debian > > > Well that's the whole point isn't it - how should "I" know, hence > the post.
