Appendix A. Performance Tool Locations
The performance tools described in this book originated from many different locations on the Internet. Fortunately, most major distributions have pulled them together and included them in the current versions of their distributions. Table A-1 describes all the tools, provides pointers to their original source locations, and indicates whether they are included in the following distributions: Fedora Core 2 (FC2), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (EL3), and SUSE 9.1 (S9.1).
