[Xymon] Network Traffic Graph - Fedora 15

[epperson at alumni.unc.edu]

Well, probably not "soon".  RHEL lags Fedora by at least a couple of
years, generally.  F15 "broke" a lot of other things with the moves to
systemctl, Gnome3, etc, btw.  Also, btw, there's been a huge amount of
controversy and bikeshedding over the pro/con of ethx names, which have
been somewhat arbitrarily assigned for some time.
