I'm confused between the two. I've tried installing using the *.deb stack installer, it was an easy install but i couldn't view/enter the Zenoss events database for the reason that I can't login to it. I never provided a Zenoss mysql username and password during the installation and yet on Zenoss (Event Management > Connection Configuration) there is an existing mysql database with a provided username:zenoss and a password I don't know.Now i uninstalled it and i'm currently installing from the source. What exactly are their differences? Pros and Cons of each?thanks.

Historically, the stack install has been easier. However, for v4, the stack installer will be gone, and in fact it seems unlikely there will be a debian based install at all initially. Source install is just that, you compile it and it hopefully works. Generally I recommend installing on a RHEL derivative as that's what most of the testing is against, but that may be changing if they can get core 4 accepted by the distros...
