Re: [hobbit] Difficulties building hobbitclient-0.3

[Allan.Marillier (at) dana.com]

I did find mention of the built-in client after I fetched and unpacked the 
source. I had previosuly just pulled down the FC4 binary rpm.

A simple adduser hobbit, followed by ./configure --client and then make 
install was all it took. I ran the start script and within a minute or two 
I had some nice green displays. I've been using a very simple BigBrother 
setup for about 18 months, and hobbit for a few weeks, but hobbit drops in 
so easily it makes BB look like a big ugly monster in comparison. Now all 
I need to do is put together a quick start/kill script and I'm ready to go 
dump my BB setup and move everything to hobbit.

I think one of the most impressive things, after the ease of installation 
and setup, is the instant trending graphs. And I thought I wrote 
reasonably decent, easy to use and somewhat bullet proof programs! :-)
