Hello All, |

Not sure this is the perfect place to post, but you are such a helpful |
| 4 |
bunch, I thought I'd give it a crack. |

In several previous jobs I've put together automated builds for Windows |
| 7 |
boxes, complete with app installs, configuration, bla bla. Now in a new |
| 8 |
role, I need to develop an automated framework to cover Linux (RHEL), |
| 9 |
Solaris and Windows. This will probably be in python, so I'll try and have |
| 10 |
a common menu system asking a sensible set of questions at the beginning. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
What general techniques would you guys recommend for automated builds of |
| 13 |
Linux/Solaris? Is it as simple as partitioning, untarring an appropriate |
| 14 |
set of files and writing some config out? It certainly has to be easier |
| 15 |
than the rather convoluted Windows process :) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Any advice/suggestions gratefully received. |

p.s. I'm trying to make a case for use of Gentoo internally (I find Gentoo |
| 23 |
package management easier and more flexible than yum/deb) - but since I'm |
| 24 |
working for an investment fund, the powers that be are keen on the cozy |
| 25 |
supportedness of RHEL. Any suggestions here welcome too! |
