So its running how I like it

[Paul Weaver]

We use an ubuntu based PXE builder, but the same principle. We've
deployed half a dozen nagios instances so far, another dozen to do by
the end of the year.

The config is stored in subversion, installing nagios hasn't been
streamlined, as to be honest we rarely need to install from scratch.

(standard ubuntu-server build, with a few additions like ssh and snmpd)
apt-get install subversion apache2 expect libbit-vector-perl
