I would say RHEL variants (like Centos) are the easiest since there are the
Terabithia RPMs that are provided by a maintainer. I believe Debian
provides Xymon as part of it's official distro list. Basically, any distro
that provides per-built packages would be the easiest. If you need to
compile it because you want the latest greatest or want to customize what ,
as long as you have the necessary dependencies it's usually pretty
straightforward. Over the years, I've compiled it on various linux
distros, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, BSD (I include Slackware in with BSD) with
very few issues. Basically, it's whatever you feel the most comfortable
with.

I run a couple of instances of Xymon on Solaris. I ran another instance on

I lean towards CentOS 7 but could almost as easily choose something else. I
thought I should ask:
Is there a linux distribution on which I should expect
the installation of Xymon to be particularly difficult
or simple?
