Hello, As PART of a viability study about using Debian GNU / Linux for a massive deployment from 5 thousand up to 50 thousand machines (desktops AND servers) geographically distributed across a country, I searched for some installation, configuration and config management tools for this task size [0], [1], [2]. Please, verify if a relevant tool is missing or if there are errors and or omissions. I found the Alexander Zangerl texts [3] as a good starting point for a broader text. They are the most aligned with the study objectives that I was able to find. Do you have some ideas? Some information about why Debian is suitable for this task? What tools are suitable for some of the remaining tasks: managing systems, user accounts, monitoring such big deployment? Do you have some url more suitable for reading? Regards. Andre Felipe Machado
