Random thoughts (maybe already in your standard topics): - kickstart (cd, usb, pxe) - local CentOS repository - drbd or some distributed fs - nfs / nis - ldap - samba - keepalived / ipvs - fail2ban - proxies (squid, nginx...) - monitoring (nagios, cacti...) - VM (KVM, Xen...) - quotas, acls - encrypted fs JD
