+Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance
+computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical
+design targeted at federations of clusters.
+
+1. This SlackBuild is just going to build Ganglia without 'gmetad', which
+ collects information from ganglia monitor clients, and writes them to RRD
+ databases. If you want to enable this, you'll have to enable it with the
+ OPT variable and 'gmetad' as value, then execute the build script as
+ follows: OPT=gmetad ./ganglia.SlackBuild
+
+ In order to build gmetad as part of this package, you'll need to have
+ RRDTool installed. It is available from SlackBuilds.org.
+
+2. The Ganglia web frontend is distributed as a separated SlackBuild: ganglia-web.
