Well, CENTOS is free and the same as RHEL. I think developers do this
because the various Linuxes are really different OSs, and they may not
be able to easily support all of them.
I understand that there is work going on to get packages built for
Debian based OSs, but the various dependencies seem to be a pain.
They do provide a VMWare image that will work anywhere, but it's
debatable how well that works.
Anyway, my useful input is this:
If you want it to work easily, install CentOS5.x and use their RPMs.
If you want to use Ubuntu, be ready to work hard to get everything
working, and maybe to do some code fixing.

Why do so many open source developers do this?? That really sucks, I'd like to
stick with what I have and not keep switching around, especially with the price
of RHE.
Also I forgot to mention I installed Ubuntu's 64-bit version of 6.06 LTS, not
sure if that makes a difference or not.

Indeed. Zenoss seems to be targeted at Red Hat Enterprise Linux and it's
derivatives like CentOS (but not SuSE which is quite different now).

Ok, I've never messed with Zenoss before but so far I'm not having tons of luck
getting it installed. I've got a brand-new Dell PowerEdge 2970 that I've
installed Ubuntu 6.06.9 LTS on. It will be kind of the watchdog for our entire
network.
I followed the great instructions at http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/install-guides/install-on-ubuntu-6.10/ but I keep getting failure at this point in the install -
Linking bin/wmis
swig -I./scripting/swig -python wmi/pywmi.i
make[2]: swig: Command not found
make[2]: *** [wmi/pywmi_wrap.c] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/zenoss/zenossinst/zenossinst/build/wmi-0.1.12/Samba/source'
make[1]: *** [pywmi-build] Error 2
I cannot determine what swig is and why it's not getting built automatically.
I know it's preventing Samba from installing, which is preventing Zenoss from
installing but am unsure how to proceed. I have tried running 'make clean'
several times (which fails too) and starting over, redoing the SVN but it fails
at the same spot. I'd prefer to install just a binary but cannot seem to find
one for Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance for any help!
