Differences between Nagios and Netsaint

[Marc Powell]

More/Better reporting.
Netsaint is no longer being maintained...
Many Bug Fixes
Netsaint is no longer being maintained...
Template based config files.
Netsaint is no longer being maintained...
http://www.nagios.org/changelog.php
Netsaint is no longer being maintained...

You get the picture... Bug fixes have not been backported to Netsaint
that I am aware of. I don't see anything in the Netsaint CVS that has
been touched in the last 12 months and most of it is much longer than
that. It makes no sense to install a program that is no longer being
maintained when a compatible, newer version is, IMHO.
