It's too bad that these sites that track this stuff end up falling to the wayside. There is so much out-of-date information regarding Linux help still coming up from Internet searches. |

This one show more promise than most. |

I agree. Being nearly fully automated makes it a lot easier. He should try to get his collector in the big distro's repositories. |

Needs a wiki for maintainability. That way, it should be lowest possible maintenance for one person. The site itself I found impressive. "More impressive than most of this type." The hardware drilled down to the very specific. Example: it knew that my BCM5782 based NIC was made by HP. Even I barely remembered that: I was buying the chip, not the card (to evaluate the lameness of BCM network chips & drivers compared to Intel). The software was easy to install on Debian with alien, the instructions were clear, and obvious. Privacy issues kept me from trying it at first. Then I realized that it wasn't going to keep a process in memory for monitoring, but only take a snapshot. The two step process allows one to decide to upload or not, the report simply gets written to /tmp. Could not find the info on nVidia cards on the site, but everything else I looked for was easy to find and very specific, which will prevent confusion in the future. Good planning. |
