Using a Raspberry Pi for a Nagios display

When I heard about the Raspberry Pi being released, I preordered waaaaay to many. My house has two for XBMC and a third for a side project. I gave one away and used the last here at work. People ask quite a few questions when they see it, so here is the setup.



Our Pi is just browsing two websites, Cacti's weathermap and Nagvis's picture- hostesd off the Nagios server.

Hardware:
Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB
4GB SD card
Wall-wort charger
HDMI cable
Any 1080p TV of your choice

http://www.nagvis.org/

It's low power and small footprint make it ideal for this task. I'm hoping to move our kitchen computer over too.

Let me know if you have any questions!
