Check Nagios from the desktop: nagstamon

I just discovered nagstamon and all the team fallen in love with it!

I tried to use Nagios Checker, the Firefox plugin to notify of any Nagios alert, but that doesn't play nicely with several opened windows (alerts are multiplied for the number of windows, since it seems everyone does the checks, not just one) and it tends to slow down Firefox, that's already quite slow per se :)

The upstream author provides a Debian package, so promptly I wrote to him asking if he can consider maintain the package in Debian, with me as mentor/co-maintainer and so (it's in Python so I can that :) ); let's see how it goes.

Give it a try, it's really simple and awesome!
