I know all that. I didn't say it wasn't actively maintained. I was questioning the practice of recommending MRTG to new users. Here's what Tobi says about it: http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-rrd.en.html "After using MRTG for some time you may find some limitations, mostly in the areas of performance and graphing flexibility. These are exactly the areas addressed by RRDtool. To learn more about RRDtool check out its website ..... RRDtool Integration: .....

These limitations and the wonky work-arounds using 3rd party scripts are because the product's *design* is old. For a new user with no particular commitment to MRTG, what's the point? Why not go with a modern integrated RDDtool frontend that's easy to install and use?
