This is the best way to get nagios up and running for the first time,
however it's a paint by numbers kinda thing and may not be best in the
long run for the system. Ideally (yes, I live in an ivory tower, why
do you ask? :-P )  You should become familiar enough with nagios that
a minor change in the install method is inconsequential. Theory vs
practice sort of thing. Any idiot can follow a step by step how-to,
but admins earn money by understanding the guide and cooking up their
own recipe. It's all a matter of taste. See other post for continued
reasons....
