I'm trying to run pingplotter in wine under Mandrake 10, but I get this error:


Both Tanner and Jon addressed this point sufficiently, I'll leave it at that.

Also, if you can suggest a linux alternative to pingplotter, that would be cool too!



You should have a look at smokeping (from the author of mrtg and rrdtool, Tobias Oetiker). It is like pingplotter taken to an enterprise level. :) It's a perl back end, that runs on a server (which could of course mean: your desktop w/ apache and perl), and generates graphs that provide a very detailed look into how latency changes over time, between the server and a host you're monitoring. The homepage for smokeping is located here:

While you're at it, you might wish to check out MRTG for checking the bandwidth utilization of various network interfaces, as well as a virtually any other statistic you might like to track (i.e. temperature, humidity, cpu or disk utilization, illumination, etc).
