I think Grant Should look at CFengine, if he is not familar |
| 14 |
with it. It is the traditional 800 pound Gorrilla when it comes |
| 15 |
to managing many systems. Surely there are folks there in those |
| 16 |
forums that can help Grant filter his ideas until they are |
| 17 |
ready for action. CFengine is in portage. |

Alan may be right, as CFengine (or whatever) may work better |
| 20 |
with a binary distribution and is probable more tightly integrated |
| 21 |
with something like debian or such OSes. |
