Hi. I'm a little late to this thread but wanted to drop in the following tidbit:
Alva Couch's slide18 from LISA 2004 presentation on Configuration Management : A common myth dispelled - Many people seem to believe that the choice of *tool* determines ease of configuration management. - In fact, it's the *practice* of using the tool that determines how well the tool works. - Choice of tool makes little difference; *discipline* of use is everything.

And just to clear up the point about cfengine as "academic" - cfengine originated in academia (with feedback from industry); cfengine 3 is commerical: http://www.cfengine.com/ (and http://www.cfengine.com/nova) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
