I'm very pleased to see both CentOS and Hobbit being used. Very very cool
stuff =) Thanks for letting us know! Let's take over the rest of the world
next =)
I wonder how upset Quest is with this =)

I'm happy to report that last week I was a guest speaker at MCC (Mesa
Community College), located in Mesa, Arizona. The class was CIS240DL -
Linux Network Administration. During the 4 hour class, I gave a complete
presentation on Hobbit, and the instructor and I helped the students install
their own Hobbit servers and configure them to monitor services both on the
server and some remote clients. We had a couple of snags as all the
workstations were CentOS, so we had to perform a few extra steps to get the
prereqs, and battle SELinux :-)
It seemed to go very well, and the students seemed impressed and pleased
with Hobbit. I think I may have even converted one experienced student who
seemed to prefer Zabbix :)
The instructor seemed to enjoy the presentation as well, and it looks like
I will also be invited to a repeat performance for the CIS238DL Linux System
Administration class. He has also invited me to speak about Hobbit at the
local LUG.
So, just reporting that Hobbit is getting lots of exposure here in
Arizona! *Henrik, I hope you don't mind, but for my presentation I used
the slides you have up on your site as a framework*. I made sure to credit
you as not only the main author of Hobbit but as the source of the slides :)
I encourage others to evangelize Hobbit wherever they can. In my
experience a lot of people have not heard of it, and once they see it they
are like "wow" and want to start using it. The more the community grows,
the better our chance of getting acceptance to the various distros, and more
volunteers to help contribute code and ideas to help Henrik out.
