Agree.
I was/am pretty surprised that the commercial entity responsible for 
cfengine has not done a better job at getting people "hooked" into their own 
product.

Also, was surprised they didn't even bother to find tutorials/quick start 
guides from other people and just list them in their site.

The impression I get, so far, is the "we are big, we are widely used.. and 
it is your job to go through our in-complete docs"..

I am giving myself a few more days (blew the weekend on this) and moving on 
if I can't get it to work. I looked at puppet and it really seemed simpler.. 
I just didn't like the whole lot of dependencies it has. I could have 
rolled my own solution in less time that it is taking to get a basic 
cfengine config done. I primarily just need to push some config files 
and get programs re-started once a new file is pushed.
