I am fairly new user of nanog mail list so I am not sure if the question
below is appropriate for this list. If not, please excuse it.
- I am building a new low-budget customer WAN/LAN network and need some
ideas for network management tools. I've seen couple of email threads
regarding all sort of "net goodies". However, since I haven't used them
all, I am not sure which OS would be the most appropriate for these aps?
Can anyone share their ideas in regards of apps and supporting platforms?
I would be most comfortable with free distribution of linux, but I am not
sure which distro supports most of the tools? Is the paid OS required for
all these tools, like RedHat Server or SuSe or Windows platforms?
Thanks much,
Vitto
