+ganglia (distributed monitoring system)
+
+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.
