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.
and eating it too? Is it just me, or is this one of those situations where upper management makes a design decision from something they glanced over in some IT mag, then decided to implement without consulting anyone with any IT background?
I don't see how you can create an insanely diffuse network, then turn around and expect it to perform like a network that has a centralized "HQ" with file services etc and a fat WAN connection.
Of course, you could just ask the execs to spring for ~100 WAN accelerators... =)

Go to hell! LaserDisc is the one true way!!! =)
Fair enough. Forgive me for being brash, young, and ignorant to the ways of the world. =)
Seriously, everyone knows Linux is completely and utterly unhackable. This is obviously some kind of viral pro-MS FUD. =)
I'm no marketing genius, but who the hell thought domain names like meat.com and milk.com were going to be goldmines?!?
