Oh dear, and there was me thinking of looking at your login issues.
Maybe not!
You use Ubuntu/Debian because that is what we tell you to use.
The vast majority of 'issues' reported by centos/rhel/etc users are related to 'features' and other braindeadness of their chosen distro.
None of us use anything other than Debian/Ubuntu. Debian/Ubuntu is what we test on and Debian/Ubuntu are all we are prepared to discuss on this list.
If you feel you know better, then you had better be able to make everything work properly yourself, because we *will* be rude to you for ignoring all of our warnings.
After all, you get the service you pay for, right?
Alternatively, I hear cacti runs fine on centos.
Oh, and it hasn't helped our tolerance levels that most of the 'stupid' questions we get from people who want spoonfed step by step solutions come from centos users. It seems that stupidity and laziness often leads to choosing centos.
Adam.
Also notable is that thus far all of our major sponsors to date run Debian or Ubuntu.

a) why centos
Because Ubuntu is a pain in the backside for someone used to RHEL/SLES type implementations?
I use CentOS because I hate the way Ubuntu manages services, and because I'm used to it. However, I don't belittle Ubuntu at every opportunity, as seems to be the modus operandi here. I saw a quote by someone who works in a mixed Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL shop the other day which is particularly pertinent
"I use XX because it works for me."
Can we get away from the distro bashing and concentrate on fixing issues? Yes, I know you use Ubuntu and love it, and I know you don't want to support CentOS, but that doesn't mean the whole world needs to follow you.
You have an excellent product in Observium - it's a shame to see such crap bringing it down for people who are only trying to make it work (and, by definition, increase penetration of the product).
