And here we go again - yet another thread from a beginner which states that it is hard to get going with Cfengine. It would have been nice to have an official, detailed step-by-step tutorial which covers the basic case of installing cfengine on a server and client, instead of letting all noobs (definitely including myself here!) make the same journey of not finding what they need at the official site, going to third parties, mixing up cf2 with cf3 etc etc. Francisco is not stupid, he has done his homework and he can't make it run with the official docs. I believe cfengine uses the freemium model (hook users on the free product, charge for advanced or special features) - in that model it is a point to make it really, really easy for all to start using the free product so that you can upsell later. This is not the case with cf3 today.
