wow, that's a good site (by the way, it's "infrastructures" plural, |
2 |
dot org): |

http://www.infrastructures.org/ |

|
6 |
it addresses some of the problems I'm having now that my network of |
7 |
machines is growing. I have a standard set of packages that I emerge, |
8 |
but it's a pain to maintain each machine individually and make sure |
9 |
that everything is configured properly. I'm prone to mistakes - i.e., I |
10 |
just discovered that vixie-cron was never added to the default runlevel |
11 |
on a dev machine! |

|

I'll be reading up on this and hopefully can share my insights into |
14 |
Christian's questions. |
