I have been having problems with Cacti running on Windows 2K using IIS. I was looking on the net and found the following open source project that includes Cacti.

http://sentinix.org/index.shtml

Within 30 minutes had a fully functional Cacti box! It included and older version of Cacti so I used the documents for the upgrade on the Cacti site and it worked great.

I've been using Sentinix for a couple weeks now and it works great! It takes not even 10 minutes to install and runs great. I also did the Cacti upgrade and it went very smooth.

I just noticed the Sentinix project is discontinued because of inactivity.

Does anyone know of another distro that comes with a recent Cacti installed and pre-configured?

Debian maintainer of the Cacti packages seems to be pretty active. I have yet to figure out who the Gentoo mantainer is.

Install everything by tar balls/// You might learn something, that's the way i dove in....I use Debian and didnt like the way apt-get installed everything for some reason so i went with installing each piece step by step// I did need help, forums etc.......... But it was worth it////

You can use Fedora Core 4 which brings you most of the needed parts like MySQL, PHP, Perl, Apache, NET-SNMP ....
