The only ruff spot I could point to is with application updates - the interface to yum is less polished than some - updates work if you work on them as groups vs particular apps. There are many promises online and in the maillists for particular tasks. I think there is even a starter pack on github somewhere. CFengine fits well into ITIL and managing IT - lots of IT - and it has it's own directory in /var too! ;) The RH world has worked with Cobbler plus Puppet - this is getting tighter with Puppet plus TheForman and Pulp - if I remember the roadmap. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
