Well, the OpenNMS version we have is older, and it's sitting on a Debian 
Sarge box that I want to blow away and install Fedora on.  But that's 
not the reason for the question.  We run nearly every monitoring tool 
out there, and my boss is extremely picky. He doesn't really like any of 
them completely.  They all have flaws in his mind so he wants to see 
what else might be available now, that either might not have been 4 
years ago, or has greatly improved since then.
