Are you using puppet to manage the centos servers? We're looking at it for the day job. Tired of commercial tools that over promise and under deliver....make that promise and never deliver.
We are starting to use puppet within the centos setup.
I have been using puppet for over two years in various setups at $DayJob, one of which is over 1200 machines.
There is a very active community around puppet at the moment, and is the only real sysadmin system management post-install tool worth using on Linux right now ( imho ).
Are there any such tools that work cross-platform with windows? I've been poking around in ocsinventory (http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/) which can deploy and execute things but it seems to be in between versions right now.
The chain of (centos::cobbler->puppet->func) makes quite a good combination.
Drbl/clonezilla is a cross platform system image clone/kickstart mechanism.
of-course, a conversation for the puppet lists :D
Unless you are looking for cross-platform tools.
