Dear Angsar,
First of all thanx for replying. I feel I should have given a
bit more info about the day-long event . Its basically an event
targeted towards college-students and IT Professionals. The crowd
would probably be an eclectic crowd of the two. (
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIndia/DebianUtsav2012 - please see the
third entry.) . The idea is to generate awareness about Debian as an
OS as well as hopefully get few people interested in packaging and
maintaining packages and all.
I had seen [DB] <http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi> and then promptly
forgot about it.
I am not looking for real-time stats, at the same time I do not want
to put a request as that would include having to be secure about a
pair of SSH keys and it would just be complicated for me (a bit of a
long story) . What would suffice is if its possible to get some sort
of random snapshot of bandwidth usage (say either during when Squeeze
was released) or any of the snapshots or during some transitions when
something interesting happened. If there are such graphs (preferably)
or pie-charts which are accessible to public (or either in public
domain) it would be nice. This of course depends on munin keeping and
having historical records of all the stats which in itself would be
quite an undertaking. Have no idea if munin does this.

Looked at both of them, nice.

Actually what would be nice if there is some kind of (even if its a
bit incorrect/historical) block diagram which tells how the whole
thing flows.

Interested to know more. Thanx again.
