So the immediate project that jumps to mind is Cobbler, but there are licensing issues with inclusion. Razor itself is nice and looks fascinating, but it boots a Linux image for initial inventory - is that a problem? (Same problem as PING) http://puppetlabs.com/blog/introducing-razor-a-next-generation-provisioning-solution/ I suppose we could not ship the bootable image, but that seems a bit broken. --David
