Thanks Jim, Valeu Christian,

The question is that I'd installed Nagios so many times, that I was just
wondering if I would win some time (time is money, so I'll ask an upgrade at
my payment :p), doing it at next time that we rebuild our Nagios Server.

Jim, your answer sounds perfect to me I'll try it.

Best Regards,
Thanks for your help,

This is the best way to get nagios up and running for the first time,
however it's a paint by numbers kinda thing and may not be best in the long
run for the system. Ideally (yes, I live in an ivory tower, why do you ask?
:-P )  You should become familiar enough with nagios that a minor change in
the install method is inconsequential. Theory vs practice sort of thing. Any
idiot can follow a step by step how-to, but admins earn money by
understanding the guide and cooking up their own recipe. It's all a matter
of taste. See other post for continued reasons....
