I have several NTOP boxes up. Most are on Redhat 9.0, and 2 on 2.6 kernel 
Gentoo machines. Even the low end gentoo (P3 500, 256 MB Ram Laptop) does a 
decent job. I don't use that for long term monitoring of course, but I have not 
seen any problems. The RH9 boxes also have no problems, but they are all 
running 3.0 still.

Hey Shawn,

    I have had many problems on FreeBSD.  I have tried 4.9, 4.10 and
5.x.  It would run ok and 4.9, but would stop after a period of time.
Couldn't get ntop to run at all on 4.10 and 5.x.  FreeBSD has documented
issues with ntop.  We do have one 4.9 production box, but I would
recommend to someone save themselves some pain and run Linux.  I run
ntop 3.1 on RH 7.3, it has been great and monitors a busy network.


Shane
