[hobbit] Which OS is better for Hobbit server ?

[Stephane Caminade]

Hi,

Frankly I d compare that kind of question with "what is better, plasma 
or lcd ?".

It all depends of what you are running on your server, the number of 
hosts you have to check/gather reports from, how well it will integrate 
with your existing setup ...

I run it on Fedora Core, since my network is mostly composed of that 
release.
I do however use hobbit to monitor Solaris, from 8 to 10.

Regards,
Stephane
