Network Monitoring Tools

I have been running Nagios to monitor systems on my network.  Nagios does a very good job and Nagios is very flexible.  After you add a few agents; NRPE for Linux and NSClient for Windows, and you can monitor just about everything in the environment.  I have been very happy with the the configuration and alerting within Nagios.  I have just started to ask if there was something which could do more.

Mozilla Firefox 3 is Out!

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox is out, version 3.  Firefox was released around 1pm today and I was finally able to download it this evening after getting home from work.  I do not see a lot of differences between version 3 and RC2 that I have been running for several weeks.

I did have a problem after installing the software, Firefox would not start.  Firefox just kept crashing, but that was fixed after a simple reboot of my Vista system.
