But, if someone ever gets cross-platform config management right or at least close enough that it is worth learning yet another description language I'd be very interested. Cfengine v3 might be getting there but the windows version seems to be only available in the commercial build.
OK, this is the perfect sequay for me :-)
Assuming you only want Linux, and at that CentOS Linux - which are both the case for me - what Config Management system would you use? What is out there?
A few months ago I sort of had a similar thread going and got the following :
Slackmaster - looks like this is from google
chef - have not looked it up yet
puppet - got a test bed going and just bought the book because have not found much on line in terms of complex configs and how to actually use it to manage your environments
bcfg2 - have not looked for it yet
CF Engine - am vaguely familiar with it.
