Per the Nagios Exchange site, NagiosWeb only supports up to Nagios 2.x. It
also hasn't been updated since 2006. If you're going to do a new Nagios
install, you should be on 3.x.

If you're going to try one, you're probably best off with NagMin, but
realistically, unless you're going to make changes in the web frontend, then
crawl your server for what's changed and diff it, you aren't likely to learn
it. I just migrated from BB to Nagios following Wolfgang Barth's "Nagios 2nd
Edition" and its been really helpful to understand the file structures and
command-line, especially if you want to extend Nagios with trending, etc. So
this is where I politely say "suck it up and read the manual... or at least
a good book about it". :)

Of course, a few years of experience as a UNIX/Linux admin won't hurt
either...
