I currently manage approximately 150 hosts with a handful of ZLM policies, 
but I've had one too many policies lost by the management server to keep 
using this solution.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences (good or bad) they'd be 
willing to share specific to using Puppet with SLES (9 and 10).

What experiences have you had with package management tools?  Would it be 
worth the effort to install the same tool (yum, zypper, rug, etc.) on 
every host, or just use whatever is included with the O/S?

My plan is to use two virtualized sles 10 servers to host services as 
listed below.  Do you see anything wrong with the following design?

mgt01:
-puppetmasterd/mongrel behind Apache2
-svn repository hosted here
-CruiseControl or some other build automation tool
-reporting scripts

mgt02:
-installation sources for sles 9 and 10, along with a custom repo that 
contains facter, puppet, and ruby rpms
-updates mirrored using Novell's smt
-autoyast control files
-dhcp/pxe (future)

I'm still digging through James Turnbull's book, but are there any other 
must-read sources out there?  (besides the wiki)

Thanks in advance,
Justin
