New Cacti Tutorial Released

I wrote a tutorial some time on how to install and configure Cacti on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 so that you could monitor your network services (inlcuding MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc). I never published it, but after using it today for the Cacti install I needed for a customer I decided to go ahead and push it out. I created a new document folder (Tutorials & Articles) and loaded the new pdf into this folder. You can reach the document here.
