Lots of possibilities on these sort of questions. There is a fantastic |
| 18 |
network monitoring tool that monitors all sorts of system performance |
| 19 |
issues, call 'jffnms'. It's in portage, but, masked at the moment. It's |
| 20 |
a bit daunting to get happy, but well worth the effort. I'm waiting |
| 21 |
for it to stablize on gentoo. It was very difficult to get happy under |
| 22 |
debian, the last time I hacked at it for a client. |
