UNCLASS: NAGIOS on SunFire

[Hand, Nathan]

Just FYI, Linux (the kernel) on Ultrasparc is 64-bit. See...

http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc/

Admittedly Linux/Sparc userspace is 32-bit, but lots of Solaris 8 userspace
is 32-bit too.

If you already knew this then I apologise in advance.

		i'm a linux guy myself, but have administered sunboxes for a
few years.  i
		like the shortcuts and beauty of linux, but my thinking is
-- if you have
		SUN hardware, run Solaris on it.  i've tried running redhat,
slackware, and
		netbsd on my ultra5, but still go back to Solaris in the
end.  besides,
		running a 64bit O/S on a RISC processor makes more sence
than running a
		32bit one.

		we have a few Nagios servers at work, most are linux boxes,
one is running
		Solaris 8.  you will run into a few problems compiling and
building things,
		but it's a good learning experience :-)

		we built some Nagios Solaris packages if you really get
stuck.
