Exactly.
can recommend talking to Fritz Zaucker (tell him I sent ya). He's at ETHZ as well (in EE I think). His team, along with Tobias Oetiker and the guys/gals over there have some experience in this sort of management.
Yes, I know those guys. They base their infrastructure on Debian mostly. And they've had the man power to build great system management tools, like SEPP or the ISG Toolchest.
The reason why I bother this list is that I am impressed of OpenBSD from the technical point of view. I like its consistency and purity. But in business environments or comparable organizations where money is an issue, one needs to think about system management very carefully, since it has a direct impact on money as well. That's why I can't understand people can really live with the 6 months lifecycle.
