Dear List,
I'm trying to set up a lab with multiple workstations running CentOS 5. Does anybody knows how to keep the packages in sync among workstations? Ideally I want any change made on any machine be able to applied to all other machines. Alternatively, to "push" the changes (add and/or remove packages) from one central server to all other machine is also fine.
Thanks

P.S.: Sorry for the confusion subject line. I really don't know what's the accurate name for the feature I described here. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
My recommendation is use a configuration management system like puppet (http://www.puppetlabs.com/) or slack (http://code.google.com/p/slack/) using a role that runs yum with the change list needed for the machines in the field. This gets you the ability to have uniform configurations and "push" from a central server.
