from my personal experience when doing support, the best supported platform is debian, next to centos. partly ubuntu/fedora/suse/gentoo/*bsd/solaris/aix/... debian mainly for the reason having a wonderful debian packager on the team (formorer) and therefore getting the best out of 2 worlds - devs and packagers. but still, there are other platforms as well which fit. but still, we are seeking for official ubuntu and fedora package maintainers. > I am now working as a Network Engineer and would > like to build my skill set up in linux and would like to get to understand > the functionality of Icinga/Icinga-web and NagVis to support my work > environment. you might wanna check pnp4nagios as well, taking perfdata via rrdtool into rrds and integrate that into your preferred gui with shiny graphs then. > > I have just installed Ubuntu and installed Icinga/Icinga-web. how did you do that, and which versions are installed? > The System > reports “Linux icinga 3.0.0-14-server #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:49:05 > UTC 2011 x86_64” with “PHP Version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.3”.
