Yesterday I finally moved the monitoring machine at work from SuSE 9.1
to Debian Etch. It still amazes me how easy Debian makes it to install
things like Nagios, Apache 2 and RT (!). I hadn't paid attention
before to the way Debian handles loading websites and modules in
Apache, and that's just elegant…the same mess o' symlinks that you use
for /etc/rc?.d. Nice.
Of course, that didn't prevent some silly problems with Nagios from cropping up, but it was stricly PEBKAC. By the end of the day Nagios was watching everything again, RT was moved from my desktop machine (with tickets intact), and all was well.
