IMHO stay away from Zabbix for anything but small-ish environments. For what it's worth, our experience hasn't been great running zabbix in a distributed configuration. Plus, there isn't much flexibility in terms of configuring checks on hosts due to the way templates work.

Also, their "enterprise support" is a fucking joke. Our support experiences are "chatting" back and forth in a Notepad while a guy fucks around in the mysql DB for a few hours. Total waste of money. =(

Ah yes, the Best Buy magazine scam. The way they get away with charging you is because the magazine trials are risk-free, not free. It's bullshit. I worked there for years, and management forced you to shove those things down people's throats.

I'm thrilled to see Best Buy finally starting to suffer for their terrible business model. I imagine that they'll wind up in the same bin as Circuit City.

Perhaps because Brazil is murder-tastic. Check this out...
