Installing ZenOSS on Ubuntu 8.10 (Hardy Heron)

Hello previously, I have posted how to install Zenoss and setup a test environment (you can find it here), but there we instaled Zenoss in CentOS, here I'm going to show you how to install it on Ubuntu 8.10

# Install Apache With It's Documentation #####
$ sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc

# Start Apache (it should already be started) #####
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start


# Test Apache #####

Type on Mozilla Firefox: http://127.0.0.1/
It souhld read: It works!


# Instaling MySQL and PHP necessary Dependencies #####

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
Type in mySQL's root password in the upcoming textbox.


# Instaling SNMP Query tools #####
$ sudo apt-get install snmp


# Downloading ZenOSS #####

In http://www.zenoss.com/download/links?creg=no
you can see all the suported distributions,
you just have to pick yours if it's there,
otherwise pick the closets.

In runing Ubuntu 8.10, which isnt there so I go for
the Ubuntu 8.04, here's the link:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=zenoss&filename=zenoss-stack-2.3.3-linux.bin&use_mirror=freefr

# Installing ZenOSS #####

$ cd /path_to_zenoss_executable_dir/

$ sudo chmod 777 zenoss-stack-2.3.3-linux.bin

$ sudo ./zenoss-stack-2.3.3-linux.bin

Type in the data the installer gui asks you, like the
database root login.


# Logging in into ZenOSS #####

After installing it should open your browser on the ZenOSS
login page, if not just type on your browser:

http://localhost:8080/

The default login and password are:

Login: admin
Password: zenoss

Now you can just continue the "Installing Net-SNMP on Linux Clients" on the previous post that you cam find here.

Can anyone recommend the best Managed Service software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central service management
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
