BUT, puppet comes to play and we have a lot of servers running in production environment. That's the reason why I'm asking the list. The updating process is complicated because you have to manually do the dirty job. We thought puppet can handle this servers's update job. But I see it's not a good idea.
Does anyone in the list use puppet to handle updates on servers? :-) regards, Israel. > we don't use puppet at all to keep systems up2date and I don't think > it's a good idea either.
