I gave Munin a try today on reusch.net. You can see the results here - http://reusch.net/munin/ . Not much to look at yet without much data but a lot of information for a fairly simple monitoring package to setup. Here's how I did it on Fedora Core 4...
yum install munin munin-node
After that, just edit the /etc/munin/munin.conf and /etc/munin/munin-node.conf. The only part that matters is to get up and running is the htmldir setting in munin.conf. Make sure it's writable by the munin user and accessible through your webserver.

Fedora Core 5 was released a few weeks ago. It is an impressive release and convincing evidence RedHat's dual distribution (Enterprise and Community) strategy is working. This release includes mySQL 5, Apache 2.2, GCC 4.1, Xen 3.0, and a lot of desktop improvements, including a sharp new logo and theme. Check the release notes for all the details.
So far, I've setup a desktop install in VMWare workstation (works fine, but you need to patch vmware-config-tools.pl to get the vmware tools to compile) and a Xen server. The Xen support is much farther along than it was in FC4. Xen 3.0 is supported and installing Xen and creating virtual machines is a lot easier. Check out the FC5 Xen Quick Start. Creating guests with the xenguest-install.py script is the best improvement. Just run it, and it will create the virtual disk image, allocate RAM, create a Xen config file, and launch into the installer (text only, or you can choose to do a graphical installer through VNC).
The comment spammers finally caught up with me. About a dozen comments trying to sell various male enhancement pharmaceutical products have been posted in the last week. I'm surprised I made it as long as I did. Comments are turned off until I can find a comment module that supports CAPTCHA to tell human comments from spamming comment bots.
