I just looked at munin in synaptic, But while there lots of parts to it,
there is not a single word that indicates what it does? Absolutely
nothing that tells me it can monitor the system fans or measure the
systems voltages. What does it actually DO?
I've seen that fairly often, particularly with software packages.
It's a real aggravation at times.
I've sometimes thought it would be useful if at the top of man pages
there was.
"Why would I use this" with explanation.
Something along those lines would sure generate the huzzahs here.
