This isn't likely terribly useful, but I did try it out in February or
so, and wasn't terribly happy.  Making it go on the boxes I had made
available to me (RHEL 5.1) was more than just ./configure && make
install.  We can afford the $1200 or so if need be, so we're sticking
with Nessus for now, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on OpenVAS too.
