+RedHat Performance Co-Pilot is a distributed monitoring solution.
+
+Essentially it is a turbocharged sysstat, with support for much
+more sources of data than the sysstat originally provided.
+
+1. Build and running requires a dedicated user add one like this:
+
+groupadd -r -g 377 pcp
+useradd -r -u 377 -g 377 -m -d /var/lib/pcp/tmp -s /bin/false \
+ pcp
+
+2. PCP conflicts with dstat, because it install (seemingly compatible)
+binary with the same name.
+
+3. Optional deps not on SBo: qt3d (for qt5)
+
+4. Optional deps on SBo: libvirt-python, qt6(with qt3d), tsocks
+
+5. This SlackBuild uses Slackware's SysV-Init support, in that
+it installs the service files into /etc/rc.d/init.d/
+If you need to enable any of them, you can add symlinks to them
+in /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d, where $i is the runlevel, or you can call them
+directly from rc.local.
