How to monitor a unix server from Windows?

Q. Hi there

I want to know if there is FREE software for windows XP / Vista that I can download to monitor my remote Red Hat (Unix) server. I need to be notified of high CPU load ect.

I don't want to load anything onto the remote server...

A. Download? Download? Netstat, like telnet has been part of Windoze (NT) for ages and ages:

By the way, is this RHEL, CentOS or Fedora? If it is the first you have a consulting contract which should enable you to call and get the answer for the best one by phone. Some of my friends work for Red Hat and even when it's not their job they are happy to help you. If your contract has expired I suggest switching to CentOS which is community supported.

Can you use the same code and commands that you use to set up Red Hat Fedora server to set up Ubuntu server?
Q. I have Ubuntu 7.04 server running on an older comp. i have and im trying to teach myself how to get a web server running. I've got a lot of info off of the web, but i also came across the Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux Bible 4 . I wanted to know if i could use that to work on my Ubuntu 7.04 server?

A. RedHat uses RPM for packaging. Ubuntu uses deb. The package managers and their commands are different. No doubt there are differences in config files (names, locations, etc.)

So, to answer your question - nope!

How would I go about changing the IP and subnet mask on Fedora Core 5?
Q. I'm doing a lab in Net+. I need to change the IP addy and subnet to the specified settings. I'm fairly well versed in Server 03', however I havn't ever used Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Either changing it using the GUI, or using a command line. Either will be fine. Thanks for the help, techies of Yahoo!

A. can't understand a word.
