If you set up a big number of workstations (my pain shreshold woud probably be around 20), or if you have hard requirements that the workstations are really equal in patch level you should maybe consider a Spacewalk server: https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/ http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk regards Jens Neu Health Services Network Administration Zhihao Lou <lzh1984 at gmail.com> Sent by: centos-bounces at centos.org 06/04/2010 05:28 AM Please respond to CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> To centos at centos.org cc Subject [CentOS] Package Distribution Server? 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 Zhihao Lou 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 at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
