[INFO] Precompiled Linux with Cacti and other tools

I have been having problems with Cacti running on Windows 2K using IIS. I was looking on the net and found the following open source project that includes Cacti.

http://sentinix.org/index.shtml

Within 30 minutes had a fully functional Cacti box! It included and older version of Cacti so I used the documents for the upgrade on the Cacti site and it worked great.

I've been using Sentinix for a couple weeks now and it works great! It takes not even 10 minutes to install and runs great. I also did the Cacti upgrade and it went very smooth.

I just noticed the Sentinix project is discontinued because of inactivity.

Does anyone know of another distro that comes with a recent Cacti installed and pre-configured?

greetz,

greetz,

Debian testing has fresh cacti, and probably gentoo as well.

Debian maintainer of the Cacti packages seems to be pretty active. I have yet to figure out who the Gentoo mantainer is.

Hi Tony

in fact the Gentoo ebuilds are submitted in Gentoo's Bugzilla by any user (http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quer ... tent=cacti),
and then they are added to the CVS (http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.c ... ortby=date).

If you look at the Changelog, you'll see that several Gentoo people have worked on it (Eldad Zack, Martin Holzer, Aaron Walker, Jason Wever, etc.)

Install everything by tar balls/// You might learn something, that's the way i dove in....I use Debian and didnt like the way apt-get installed everything for some reason so i went with installing each piece step by step// I did need help, forums etc.......... But it was worth it////

You can use Fedora Core 4 which brings you most of the needed parts like MySQL, PHP, Perl, Apache, NET-SNMP ....

Or another solution will be http://www.eisfair.org/index_e.htm

eisfair is an easy to install Internet-server, which uses linux as underlying operating system. It's build up of free software only. The installation and the operating of eisfair (short EIS) doesn't require any Linux knowledge and is able to setup with simple and - very important - uniform means.

EIS isn't intended to be another new linux distribution, there are enough of those. The intention is the installation of an internet-server where the applications and services should have the foreground and not the operating system.
