[Xymon] Xymon Newbie - Installation Issues

[Kris Springer]

Sam, attached is detailed instructions that I wrote not long ago.  I 
have a Xymon server on AWS using Ubuntu that runs well.  It took a bit 
to get it working smooth, but once I ironed out my issues it's been 
running for about a year now.  I did have an AWS crash last year and had 
to rebuild it once, so I'd suggest keeping detailed instructions, notes, 
and backups (obviously) for future reference just in case you need to 
rebuild for whatever reason.  I see from the posts that you're leaning 
towards Redhat, so I hope I don't completely sidetrack you here with 
Ubuntu.  I hope this helps you out.  :-)
Signature - Kris

Thank you.
