+
+<P>If you know MRTG, you can think of RRDtool as a reimplementation of MRTGs
+graphing and logging features. Magnitudes faster and more flexible than you ever
+thought possible</P>
+
+<P>RRD is the Acronym for Round Robin Database. RRD is a system to store and
+display time-series data (i.e. network bandwidth, machine-room temperature,
+server load average). It stores the data in a very compact way that will not
+expand over time, and it presents useful graphs by processing the data to
+enforce a certain data density. It can be used either via simple wrapper
+scripts (from shell or Perl) or via frontends that poll network devices and
+put a friendly user interface on it.</P>
+
+<H2>Get IT</H2>
+
+<P>RRDtool is available for <A HREF="pub/">download</A> from this site.
+Currently it compiles on a number of different Unix platforms as well as on
+NT. No binaries are officially provided at this point in time.</P>

+<H2>The Future</H2>
+
+<P>RRDtool is not a full replacement for MRTG, as it does not implement all
+the frontend and data aquisition features of MRTG. But it is an excellent
+base for building tools which work much like MRTG only better. Eventually,
+MRTG-3 will be built on top of RRDtool. You do not have to wait though. If you
+can program yourselfe you can use RRDtool right out of the box or if you don't program
+you can use one of several <A HREF="frontends/">frontends</A> which use RRDtool.</P>
+
+<P>If you want to stay with MRTG-2 go into the contrib folder of the latest release and take a close look at
+<B>14all</B>.</P>
