Yes. Realize that "Linux" is not Red Hat. Red Hat is a distribution of Linux. You may want to look at hyperic, by the way. I have found it remarkably easier to get running than Nagios, and it takes nagios plugins.

On Suse as root:

Code:
zypper in nagios nagios-plugins nagios-www

I think Nagios official documentation is pretty well done. So perhaps you may want to start there: Nagios Core

Firstly you install nagios, I can help you for monitoring.
It is not so difficult to understand.

I can configure nagios but I didn't install before.
Maybe below output can help you. Its shows only two packets on our RH.

Code:
# rpm -qa | grep nagios*
nagios-plugins-1.4.14-1.el5.rf
nagios-3.2.1-5.el5.rf
#

Code:
# uname -a
Linux GateWay 2.6.18-194.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:43 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
